BACKGROUND

SELECT CREDIT UNION LTD

Select was established in 1963 to provide financial services to the employees of Sydney County Council. In the lastfive years Select has accepted transfers of business from CSR & Rinker Employees Credit Union Ltd, MemberFirst

Credit Union Ltd, and Tartan Credit Union Ltd.Select’s current distribution and members access networkcomprises a head office at Sydney Olympic Park and seven branches, located in Gosford, Gymea, Homebush,

S e l e ct C re d i t Un io n L t d m e rg e r w i th E nc o m p a ss Cre d i t Uni o n L t d P AGE 3 OF 2 5

North Ryde, Revesby, Hamilton and Merrylands, together with a suite of remote access facilities incorporatingBank@post, ATM access, EFTPOS, internet banking, mobile app banking, and telephone banking.

As at 30 June 2015 Select Credit Union has 36 (full time equivalent) employees, 13,500 members, and$334millionin assets.

ENCOMPASS CREDITUNION LTD

The origins of Encompass Credit Uniondate back to 1953 whenthe Motor Transport Savings & Loans cooperative

was formed. Subsequent mergers betweenseveral credit unions servicing various sectors of the NSW transportindustry resulted in Encompass Credit Unionbeing formed in 1997.

The current Encompass distribution andmembers access network comprises a head office at Surry Hills and fourbranches, located in Chippendale nearCentral railway station, Parramatta, Chullora andHamilton in Newcastle.A

suite of remote access facilities incorporating Bank@post, ATM access, EFTPOS, internet banking, mobile appbanking, and telephone banking is available to members.

As at 30 June 2015 Encompass Credit Union has 40 (full time equivalent) employees, 16,500 members, and $286million in assets.

WHAT ARE THE REASONS FOR THE MERGER?

In considering suitable merger partners, both the Select and Encompass Boards considered the benefit tomembers as the driverof any proposed partnership. As relatively smaller financial institutions, Select and

Encompass have beenexposed to market and regulatory challenges and associated cost pressures. These samemarket challenges have caused an escalation in voluntary merger activity throughout the credit unionsector, as

credit unions have sought to maintain their competitiveness by harnessing the benefits of enhanced scale andoperational efficiency.The consequence of these changes is that credit unions have become strongerand moreviable financial institutions.

Both Select and Encompass are companies with a mutual structure registeredunderthe Corporations Act. Themutual structure is definedby an economic test where members have equal rights, and a governance test whichis effectively one member, one vote.Select and Encompass use the brands Select Mutual Banking and Encompass

- People Friendly Banking respectively, because both credit unions are AuthorisedDeposit-taking Institutionsregulated by the AustralianPrudential Regulation Authority under the Banking Act.

Individually however, both Select and Encompass are too small to be able to use the word “bank”. Both the

Encompass andSelect Boards recognisedthat a merger with each other will allow an application to be made touse the word “bank”, while remaining a mutual. While members understand that a credit union is a bankinginstitution, consumer surveys consistently show that non-members do not understandthe credit unionmodel,

whereas everyone understands the word “bank”.

The proposed merger will result in a very strong andsecure banking institution, it will offer staff betteropportunities for development, andthe expectedeconomies of scale will allow staff to do what they do best,

service and support the members. Both Encompass and Select Boards are comfortable that each has similarvalues. The culture of “people helping people”, profits remaining with the members, community participation(locally and overseas) andsupport of each core industry groups will not change.

In arriving at the decision to recommendthis merger to members, the Encompass and Select Boards reviewedthe potential of a number of other credit unions and concluded this proposedmerger to be the best strategic fitfor the reasons outlined in this document.

Both Select andEncompass Boards have been closely monitoring the market environment andregulatory trends,and expect them to intensify in the years ahead. Consequently, both Boards have recognised an opportunity to

S e l e ct C re d i t Un io n L t d m e rg e r w i th E nc o m p a ss Cre d i t Uni o n L t d P AGE 4 OF 2 5

pursue this voluntary merger inorderto achieve greater scale economies and to acquire the financial capacity torespond more easily to increasing competition.

The merger will deliver tangible and immediate benefits to both Encompass and Select members interms ofaccess to a broaderproduct range than is currently the case.Following the merger, it is anticipated that the

merged entity will commence with assets of approximately $620 million, 30,000 members and 75 full timeequivalent employees. Within2 years, it is expected that overall operating expenses will reduce delivering animprovement inefficiency.

The Boards of both Encompass and Select firmly believe this merger is in the best interests of members as it isexpected to achieve an outcome that delivers a financially stronger financial institution more capable ofcompeting in the current market, while importantly retaining both branchand distribution networks.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE MERGER FOR MEMBERS

The Boards of Select and Encompass Credit Unions believe that the merger proposal has the following

advantages for members:

General

The merged Credit Union company name will be changed to Select Encompass Credit Union Ltd as atthe merger date.

The merged credit union will have a greater capacity to meet its ongoing prudential and regulatoryrequirements as a viable banking alternative for members.

The merged credit union will remain a mutual and retain the mutuality principle of one memberonevote. This allows all members an equal opportunity to contribute to the governance of the creditunion.

The merged entity will use its largersize to compete for more members' business. Once the two credit unions have been fully integrated, the mergerwill release operational cost savings

that will be used to enhance the range and competitiveness of member products andservices. Anestimated reduction in annual operational costs of over $1m per annum is expected to deliver a moreefficient business cost to income ratio.

The new Board will comprise four directors nominated by the Board of Select and four directorsnominated by the Boardof Encompass to ensure that bothoriginal entities continue to have inputinto the strategy of the combined entity and a role in ensuring sound governance of the combinedentity.

Select and Encompass currently have a wide range of retail financial services and the combined strengthwill allow the merged entity to provide a broader product range at competitive prices with fair fees andcharges.

There will be no forced redundancies as a result of the merger, indeed the staff members of themerged organisationmay have improved career opportunities in the larger structure.

The merger will reduce concentration risk for both parties. The merged entity will therefore havebroader market coverage.

Members from both Select and Encompass will have access to an increased number of branches.

Specific

Select members will gain access to the following existing products that Encompass members currentlyhave access to:

Savings accounts:A deeming account designed for members in receipt of a social security pension.

Loan accounts:

A Basic Home Loan account, fixed rate products for 2 and 5 years, a Home improvement Personal loan

S e l e ct C re d i t Un io n L t d m e rg e r w i th E nc o m p a ss Cre d i t Uni o n L t d P AGE 5 OF 2 5

Encompass members will gain access to the following existing products that Select members currentlyhave access to:

Savings account:

Edvest Savings account and a fixed term product for Edvest members

Loan accounts:An Introductory Home Loan

A disadvantage of the merger may be that some products and services, including fees, charges, interest ratesand features may change as they are alignedover time.

The Boards of Select and Encompass believe that members of both credit unions will benefit from access to thecombined set of current facilities. While the interest rates applicable to current loanand term deposit facilities

will be maintainedfor the duration of their existing term, new facilities opened post-merger will be at be atinterest rates available at the time, which may or may not be better.

At the time of writing, there are some differences which may be considered less favourable to members of both

organisation, these items include:

Select and Encompass provide different interest rates for different Saving and Loan products at the timeof the merger. However, it is intended that interest rates will be aligned over time.

Both Credit Unions charge different loan establishment fees. However, it is intended that loanestablishment fees will be aligned over time.

Fees and charges vary between both organisations, however a full review will be undertaken followingthe merger (refer comments below).

The merged credit union intends to conduct a full review of fees and charges subsequent to integration of the

two banking systems. This is anticipated to occurwithin 12 months of the formal mergerapproval. No decisionon detailed fees andcharges alignment has been takento date. For further informationplease refer to

information under Products and Services in the Encompass Directors‘ Statement below, and to the comparisonof Select‘s andEncompass‘s existing products andservices in Schedules 1, 2, and 3 including details of fees,charges and interest rates.

The Encompass Directors‘ Statement reports that the merged entity intends toprovide the full range of servicesprovided prior to the mergerby either credit union, upon integrationof the two banking systems. The intentionis to integrate the banking systems by the end of July 2016.

The merger will result in13,500 Select members joining 16,500 Encompass members. Although each member

will remain entitled to one vote, some members may perceive that their voting rights are diluted as part of alarger membership group in the merged entity.

The Board has considered the entirety of the merger and believes that the advantagessignificantly outweigh the disadvantages for members arising from the merger.

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF SELECT MEMBERS

After the merger, each member of Select (except its directors) will cease to be a member of Select and their$10member share in Select will be cancelled. Each Select memberwill be issued with a fully paid$10 member sharein Encompass and will become a member of Encompass, unless the member is already a member of Encompass in

which case Encompass will refund the amount paid up on the member’s Select member share.

There are minor differences between the rights and liabilities attaching to member shares in Select andEncompass as set out below.

S e l e ct C re d i t Un io n L t d m e rg e r w i th E nc o m p a ss Cre d i t Uni o n L t d P AGE 6 OF 2 5

In relation to the credit union terminating membership for cause, Select members have a right to attendand be heard at the board meeting deciding whether to terminate their membership, whereasEncompass members do not have this right;

Select members have no right to be paid dividends, whereas Encompass members have a right to be paiddividends determined by the board and approved by members – however, Encompass has never paid

dividends and has no current intention to do so;

In a voluntary winding up of Select members may resolve to distribute the surplus to another credit unionor mutual companyinstead of paying the surplus out equally to all members, whereas in a voluntary

winding up of Encompass the surplus must be distributed equally to all members.

ENCOMPASS DIRECTORS’ STATEMENT

The directors of Encompass have provided the following statement setting out their intentions in relation to

future management of the business.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

The business of Encompass and Select will be integrated as soon as practical following the merger date approved

by APRA. Further details about the integration process are provided in the following sections.

NAMES

The merged Credit Union name will be changed to Select Encompass Credit UnionLtd on the merger date.

As mentioned previously, the boards of Encompass and Select intend for the mergedentity to apply to APRA toallow it to use the word “bank”. This requires APRA consent, and member approval to change the company name.

This is not expected to occur until after the merger. Members of the merged entity will be asked to approve anycompany name change in relation to “bank”.

BRANCHES

The administrative headquarters and registered office of Encompass is locatedat 59 Buckingham Street, SurryHills, NSW 2010.Shortly following the date of the merger the head office of Select at Level 2, Quad 2, 8 Parkview

Drive, Sydney Olympic Park NSW 2127 will cease to operate.

Select members will be able to use the Encompass branches located at Central, Chullora, and Parramatta.Encompass members will be able to use Select’s branches located at Gosford, Gymea, Homebush, North Ryde,Revesby, and Merrylands.Encompass andSelect presently share a branchat Hamilton.

STAFF

The Select staff will become staff members of Encompass on employment terms and conditions, including salariesand accrued leave entitlements that are no less favourable than those that appliedto themimmediately prior to

the merger.

The Chief Executive of Select, Mark Worthington, will become the Chief Executive Officer of Encompass.The Chief Executive Officer of Encompass, Brian Bennett, will retire andreceive a payment according to theterms of his employment contract.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Immediately after the merger, all products currently heldby members of eithercredit union will continue undertheir existing terms and conditions including interest rates, fees andcharges. There will be a phase-in change to

BSB, and banking authorities. Some members will have their membership numbers change.

Interest rates on termdeposits and fixed rate loans held at the date of the merger will remain fixedfor theremainder of the term.

S e l e ct C re d i t Un io n L t d m e rg e r w i th E nc o m p a ss Cre d i t Uni o n L t d P AGE 7 OF 2 5

Encompass will maintain existing transaction fees on products held by Select members at the date of the mergerfor a minimum period of 12 months. After the merger Encompass will review current interest rates, fees andcharges in orderto ensure that pricing is fair, profitable and sustainable. Encompass will alsoreview all loan,

savings and investment products with the intention of developing a range of products that meets members’needs. Members will be informed of any changes to theirproducts inaccordance withthe existing terms and

conditions of the products.

Encompass intends to continue to provide the full range of services currently provided by either credit union.Schedules 1, 2 and 3 list and compare the products and services that Encompass and Select currently provide,including details of fees, charges and interest rates.

WHAT IF THE MERGER DOES NOT PROCEED?

For reasons explained elsewhere in this Merger Information Document, yourBoard believes the proposed mergerwill provide benefits to members. If the merger proposal does not proceed, the operations of Encompass andSelect will continue on the basis that they do today. However, neither Encompass nor Select would have the same

capacity to deliver the enhanced memberservices that the merged credit unionwould have and the credit unionswould continue to absorb increasing regulatory and compliance burdens individually.

Further, the Select and Encompass Boards expect the various competitive and market pressures explained

elsewhere in this Merger InformationDocument will intensify in the years ahead, and may require both CreditUnions to identify an alternative mergerpartner inthe mediumterm.There is no guarantee that an alternativefuture merger would be on the same terms as proposedhere.

Having considereda number of strategic alternatives including pursuing partnership alliances, merging with much

larger mutuals, creating agency arrangements by handing over the banking licences to non-mutuals,demutualisation, and participating in a mutual aggregated balance sheet model, the boards of both Select and

Encompass independently concluded that a merger of two similar sized, equally well capitalised mutualorganisations witha similargeographic presence and industry based membership, was the preferred strategicoption.

The following tables summarise the financial position of Encompass and Select and are based on audited financial

reports for each credit unionas at 30 June 2015. If you require further financial information about either creditunion please call or email the credit union.Contact details are set out on the front page of this Merger

THIRD PARTY ADVICE

SELECT

Select used its own internal resources to conduct a rigorous due diligence review of Encompass. Select engaged

Jill Martin Consulting to reviewa sample of Encompass loan contracts for compliance. The purpose of the reviewwas to satisfy the Board of Select that none of the areas under review would adversely affect the interests ofdepositing members. Jill Martin Consulting concludedthat there were no issues reviewedthat would be adversely

material to the interests of member depositors on a transfer of business.

ENCOMPASS

A rigorous due diligence reviewprocess was performed by Encompass internal resources which formed a “DueDiligence Review team”. The process undertakensought to identify any matters which warranted further

investigationand identify any material issues which may impact on the viability of the entity after the transfertook effect. The review was undertaken based on “due diligence” templates provided by the Encompass InternalAuditor. In performing the review reliance was placed on Select reports which detailed the outcomes of

assessments performed by Select Auditors, consultants and regulators over the review period. Based on the duediligence review activities undertaken the “Encompass Due Diligence Review Team” concluded that no adverse

findings of a material nature had been identifiedwhich would negatively impact on the operations of theproposed merged entity

Other than as described above or elsewhere in this Merger Information Document:

no Director or Officer of either Select or Encompass has any interest in the proposedtransferof business;

no Director, Officer, member or depositor of either Select or Encompass will receive any compensation,consideration, incentive or benefit in relation to the transfer of business;

no Director, Officer, member or depositor of either Select or Encompass has any agreement that isconditional upon the proposed transfer of business.

CHANGES TO THE CONSTITUTION OF ENCOMPASS

Encompass’s Constitution will be amended as part of the Encompass member special resolution to adopt themerger. The amendments will allowthe merger to take effect as described in this Merger Information Document

and make other changes to assist the merged company going forward.

The changes are:

Changing the company’s name to Select Encompass Credit Union Ltd;

Replacing the existing requirement for 7 memberelected directors with the requirement to have 5member elected directors or such greaternumber as determinedby the Board – this will allowEncompassto have 8 member elected directors whenthe merger takes effect;

Allowing the board to appoint up to 3 additional directors for a single term inthe event of anothertransferof business (note that Encompass will not be using this new rule in relation to this merger with Select) –this mirrors an existing rule in Select’s Constitution;

In relation to the existing condition for a member to have 3 continuous years of membership to nominatefor election as director, allowing members who joinas a result of a merger by transfer of business toinclude their continuous membership with the transferring company at the date of the merger to meet thiscondition – this will allowa Select member to meet the 3 year membership condition if her or his

combined continuous membership withSelect then Encompass is at least 3 years at the date ofnomination;

To ensure a stable transition during the merger integration of Encompass and Select, the boards intendthat there will not be any electionof directors in 2016. This will be achievedby extending the terms of thefour existing Encompass directors going forward by one year, andthe appointment of four Select directors

as outlinedon page 40 of the Information Document. This proposal will require approval by Encompassmembers at the Special General Meeting;

Clarifying that the board must ensure that a personseeking election or appointment as director appears tohave the necessary skills andexperience that wouldallow himor her to make an effective contribution to

board deliberations and processes, as part of its fit andproper assessment – this is consistent withtheprocess under Select’s Constitution;

Removing the requirement for a person tomake a written application for membership – this will allowEncompass to accept new members inotherways, such as over the telephone;

Removing a rule that causes a member’s attendance at a members’ meeting to revoke any proxyappointment as this exceeds the default legal positionthat attendance merely suspends the proxy

appointment, meaning it can resume if the member subsequently leaves the meeting – this aligns thetreatment of proxies with that under Select’s Constitution and that of most other credit unions;

Expanding the common bondto include persons employed in, or who are members of a trade union orprofessional association involved in, the energy industry – this is to cover part of Select’s existing common

bond.
