Balance at Dec. 31, 2021 |  | £ 11,468 |  | £ 3,890 | £ 1,161 | £ 10,881 | £ 269 | £ (395) | £ 1,205 | £ 722 | £ 12,966 |  | £ (371) | £ 41,796 | £ 7 | £ 37,412 | £ 494 | £ 41,803
[1] | In March 2021, there was an agreement with HM Treasury to buy 591 million ordinary shares in the Company from UK Government Investments Ltd (UKGI), at 190.5p per share for the total consideration of £1.13 billion. NatWest Group cancelled 391 million of the purchased ordinary shares, amounting to £744 million excluding fees, and held the remaining 200 million in own shares held, amounting to £381 million excluding fees. The nominal value of the share cancellation has been transferred to the capital redemption reserve.
[2] | In 2020, the completion of the Alawwal bank merger resulted in the derecognition of the associate investment in Alawwal bank and recognition of a new investment in SABB held at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
[3] | Following the purchase of ordinary shares from UKGI in March 2021, NatWest Group contributed £500 million to its main pension scheme in line with the memorandum of understanding announced on 17 April 2018. After tax relief, this contribution reduced total equity by £365 million. There was also a pre-tax loss of £192 million (€224 million) in relation to the re-measurement of the Group’s Republic of Ireland pension schemes, primarily as a result of significant movements in underlying actuarial assumptions (2020: pre-tax gain of £72 million (€81 million)). In line with our policy, the present value of defined benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets at the end of the reporting period, are assessed to identify significant market fluctuations and one-off events since the end of the prior financial year.
[4] | Share-based payments includes a tax credit of £10 million.
[5] | In July 2021, paid-in equity reclassified to liabilities as the result of a call in August 2021 of US$2.65 billion AT1 capital notes.
[6] | The redemption of paid-in equity includes a tax credit of £16 million.
[7] | In line with the announcement in July 2021, NatWest Group plc repurchased and cancelled 310.8 million shares for total consideration of £676.2 million excluding fees. Of the 310.8 million shares bought back, 2.8 million shares were settled and cancelled in January 2022. The nominal value of the share cancellations has been transferred to the capital redemption reserve with the share premium element to retained earnings.
