Rolls-Royce Holdings
Re Joint Venture

12 OCTOBER 2011

ROLLS-ROYCE AND PRATT & WHITNEY ANNOUNCE NEW PARTNERSHIP TO DEVELOP NEXT
GENERATION ENGINES FOR MID-SIZE AIRCRAFT AND RESTRUCTURING OF IAE COLLABORATION

* New joint venture with Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney to develop new engines
for future generation mid-size aircraft

* Pratt & Whitney to purchase Rolls-Royce share of International Aero Engines
(IAE)

1. New Joint Venture

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, and Pratt & Whitney, a United
Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX) company, are pleased to announce an agreement to
form a new partnership to power future mid-size aircraft (120 - 230 passenger
aircraft). The two companies will establish a joint venture company, in which
each will hold an equal share, to develop new engines for the next generation
of aircraft that will replace the existing mid-size fleet. The new venture will
draw on the most advanced technology from two world-class companies to drive
enhanced performance for this fast growing segment in which worldwide demand
for around 20,000 new aircraft (or nearly 45,000 engines) is predicted over the
next 20 years.

This new joint venture will focus on high bypass ratio geared turbofan
technology. In addition, the venture will collaborate on future studies for
next generation propulsion systems, including advanced geared engines, open
rotor technology and other advanced configurations.

The new collaboration brings together complementary technological resources and
is designed to offer the best, most competitive response to customer demand for
the next generation powerplant in the mid-size segment. The collaboration could
bring about significant value for customers as both parties are able to benefit
from each other's strengths.

The new joint venture between Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce also benefits
from the success of the V2500 and the PurePower engine in establishing a broad
customer base. It builds on the long-standing and successful partnership
between Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce in the mid-size segment. Japanese Aero
Engine Corporation (JAEC) and MTU Aero Engines (MTU), partners of IAE and the
PurePower PW1100G-JM (Geared Turbofan) programme for the Airbus A320 New
Engine Option (neo), also intend to join the new collaboration.

2. Rolls-Royceand Pratt & Whitney restructure IAE participation

As well as establishing the new partnership, Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney
will restructure their participation in IAE, which produces the V2500 engine
for the A320 family of aircraft. Under the terms of the agreement Rolls-Royce
will sell its equity and programme shares in IAE to Pratt & Whitney for $1.5
billion and in addition receive an agreed payment for each hour flown by the
current installed fleet of V2500-powered aircraft for fifteen years from
completion of the transaction.

Under the continuing leadership of Pratt & Whitney, JAEC, and MTU, IAE will
continue to deliver the same high-quality product and customer support without
interruption. Rolls-Royce remains committed to IAE and its customers and will
continue to be responsible for the manufacture of high-pressure
compressors, fan blades and discs as well as the provision of engineering
support and final assembly of 50 per cent of V2500 engines.

Since its creation almost thirty years ago IAE has become a major force in
international aviation with approximately 4,500 V2500 engines in service and
approximately 2,000 on order.

"Today's announcement charts a clear course for the future of Rolls-Royce in
the important mid-size aircraft segment," said Mark King, President - Civil
Aerospace, Rolls-Royce. "We are building on many years of successful
collaboration with Pratt & Whitney in this segment to develop advanced aero
engines, which we are confident will set new standards in aviation technology,
performance and fuel efficiency."

"These agreements position Pratt & Whitney, JAEC, MTU and IAE to best serve the
needs of their customers for all of the A320 aircraft family," said Todd
Kallman, President, Commercial Engines and Global Services, Pratt and Whitney.
"We are delighted to collaborate with Rolls-Royce, with its complementary
capabilities, as we look forward to the next generation of aircraft engines
that will offer even greater operational and environmental benefits."

In addition, Rolls-Royce will make a modest financial investment in the
PurePower PW1100G-JM (Geared Turbofan) engine for the Airbus A320 New Engine
Option (neo) programme.

These transactions are subject to various closing conditions including
regulatory approvals.

3. Financial implications for Rolls-Royce

These transactions are not expected to have a significant impact on the 2011
trading performance nor the financial guidance provided for 2011, as last
updated with the Group's half yearly results on 29 July 2011.

Looking forward, the restructuring of our involvement in IAE will produce a
number of important effects on trading performance. These include net cash
proceeds of circa $1.5bn subject to some working capital adjustments when the
transactions complete, and improvements in the trading performance over coming
years. The cash proceeds will be retained for general corporate purposes. The
effect of these transactions on Civil Aerospace will be to improve trading
profitability over the next few years, with the full year improvement in
operating profits expected to be more than 140m in the first year, with a
slowly diminishing contribution in successive years depending on the
utilisation of the current V2500 fleet. Overall the majority of value to
Rolls-Royce will be derived from flight hour payments due over the next fifteen
years.

Just got out of my pit skinny nice surprise :O)

Chris - are you still long?

No took the money and ran skinny :O)

Interim management Statement.

INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

Rolls-Royce Holdings plc, the global power systems company, today issues its
Interim Management Statement for the period 1 July to 10 November 2011 in
accordance with the requirements of the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and
Transparency Rules.

Current trading consistent with guidance

Trading across the Group's businesses has progressed in line with the full year
guidance provided in July 2011. For the full year, the Board continues to
expect good growth in underlying profit and a modest cash inflow, excluding the
impact of acquisitions. Rolls-Royce has continued to make progress since the
half year, with encouraging order flow from a broad range of global customers.

The Group's balance sheet remains robust following payments of more than
GBP1.4 billion for its share of the joint acquisition of Tognum and the completion
of the R Brookes Associates acquisition in the nuclear sector, and will be
strengthened on completion of the restructuring of the Group's involvement in
IAE International Aero Engines (IAE).

A consistent strategy delivering shareholder value

John Rishton, Chief Executive, said: "Since the half year we have achieved some
important milestones and continued to lay firm foundations for future growth.
We closed our joint acquisition of Tognum, adding significantly to the scale of
our Energy and Marine opportunities. In Civil Aerospace we announced our
intention to form an important new joint venture with Pratt and Whitney which
will develop engines to power the next generation of mid-size jets, and
announced a restructuring of our existing involvement in IAE. We were also
delighted to celebrate the entry into service of the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner,
operated by ANA and powered by Rolls-Royce.

"The breadth and balance of our portfolio and the strong access we have to
parts of the world where demand remains robust has made Rolls-Royce
increasingly resilient. We continue to focus on fulfilling our record order
book and delivering on the promises we have made to our customers".

The Group will report its financial results for the year ending 31 December 2011
on 9 February 2012.

Rolls-Royce agrees pension fund longevity swap

28 November 2011

Rolls-Royce agrees pension fund longevity swap

Rolls-Royce and the Trustees of the Rolls-Royce Pension Fund have agreed a
longevity swap that will give additional security to all members of the
company's final salary pension scheme. The contract with Deutsche Bank reduces
the risk on approximately 3bn of the fund's liabilities. The cost of this
transaction will be borne by the pension fund and will have no material effect
on the funding arrangements. Around 37,000 pensioners are covered by this
agreement.

Andrew Shilston, Rolls-Royce Finance Director, said: "We have made sure that as
our pensioners live longer in retirement we have made proper provision for
them. This is the latest in a series of measures we have taken to achieve
greater certainty for our future funding requirements".

Paul Spencer CBE, Chairman of the Rolls-Royce pension fund trustees said: "We
have been working closely with Rolls-Royce for some years to enhance the
security of all our members' benefits. This is another important step forward."

Notes to Editors:

1. Under the longevity swap the Trustees and the Bank have agreed an average
life expectancy. If pensioners live longer than expected the Bank will make
payments to the Fund to offset the additional cost of paying pensions. If the
reverse applies the cost of paying pensions will be reduced but the Fund will
be required to make payments to the Bank. This arrangement enables future
liabilities to be predicted with more certainty.

2. The Trustees were advised by Aon Hewitt (as lead adviser), Linklaters (as
legal adviser) and Mercer (as investment adviser). State Street will act as
credit support services manager and custodian.
