Disposals made during the year ended 31 March 2016

bulk ingredient plants in Bulgaria, Turkey and Hungary. The re-alignment of
the Group’s interest in Eaststarch resulted in a gain on
re-measurement/disposal of £73 million.

17. Related party disclosures

Transactions entered into by the Company, Tate & Lyle PLC, with
subsidiaries and between subsidiaries as well as the resultant balances of
receivables and payables are eliminated on consolidation and are not required
to be disclosed. Transactions and balances with and between joint ventures
will be disclosed in the Group’s 2017 Annual Report. There are no such
transactions with associates.

In the year ended 31 March 2017, the Group disposed of, and therefore ceased
to have related party transactions with two of its subsidiaries. The Group
disposed of its equity interest in Jiangsu Tate & Lyle Howbetter Food Co,
Ltd, its Food Systems business in China. The Group also completed the disposal
of its interest in its corn wet mill in Casablanca, Morocco. There were no
other material changes in related parties or in the nature of related party
transactions during the year. Further details can be found in Note 16.

In the year ended 31 March 2016, the Group re-aligned its Eaststarch joint
venture and therefore ceased to have related party transactions with it.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Calculation of changes in constant currency

Where changes in constant currency are presented in this statement, they are
calculated by retranslating current year results at prior year exchange rates.
This represents a change to the methodology applied in previous years, which
involved retranslating prior year results at current year exchange rates. This
change, which has not had a material impact, has been made to align with how
the majority of external stakeholders view constant currency performance
comparisons. The following tables provide reconciliation between 2017
performance at actual exchange rates and at constant currency exchange rates.
Absolute numbers presented in the tables are rounded for presentational
purposes, whereas the growth percentages are calculated on unrounded numbers.
