In addition, we recognise the role that superannuation has in the wider global economy, including the impact of our operations and that of the companies in which we invest, on the wellbeing of the economic broader community and the natural environment. Responsible investment ESG factors such as climate change, human rights and corporate governance can have a material effect on investments.

Choosing your Statewide Pension Generally, once you re aged 55 or over, you re able to take advantage of the Statewide Pension. You can access the Statewide Pension before you retire through a transition to retirement (TTR) arrangement. And our retirement pension provides you with a regular income in retirement. Opening your Statewide Pension account You re unable to commence your pension with money that you have outside of super, for example your bank account. You must bring any money into your super before transferring it to the Statewide Pension. You can consolidate multiple super accounts into your Statewide Pension via your super account, but only at the time of commencement. You re not able to transfer additional lump sums into your pension account once the account is activated and pension payments have commenced. Please provide details of the number of transfers you will be making into your Statewide Pension on your Transfer your super to statewide form. If all this seems a little complicated, remember our client services team is just a phone call away on 1300 65 18 65 to help you through the process. Alternatively, call to make an appointment at our member centre, conveniently located at 211 Victoria Square, Adelaide. Transition to retirement (TTR) pension If you re thinking of transitioning to retirement, once you reach preservation age (see the table below) you can transfer some or all of your super savings into a pension account and start a TTR pension while you continue to work. This enables you to continue making contributions to your Statewide account while using payments from your Statewide Pension account (your TTR pension) to supplement your income. The additional income from your TTR pension may also enable you to increase salary sacrifice contributions into your super account. You are advised to discuss this matter with a Statewide financial planner to see if this suits your particular circumstances. Preservation age Your preservation age depends on when you were born. Date of birth Preservation age Before 1 July 1960 55 1 July 1960-30 June 1961 56 1 July 1961-30 June 1962 57 1 July 1962-30 June 1963 58 1 July 1963-30 June 1964 59 After 30 June 1964 60 The maximum payment you can receive from your TTR pension is 10% of your pension account balance at the start of the financial year, or at the commencement date of your new TTR pension. We ll let you know your payment limits each year. Until you permanently retire from the workforce after preservation age, you won t be able to withdraw lump sums from your TTR pension in most circumstances. The only situations where you may be able to withdraw funds are: to cash in any unrestricted non-preserved amount (see the next page for more information about when super is unrestricted non-preserved) after satisfying another condition of release and notification us of this (e.g. reaching age 65) total and permanent incapacity in circumstances of severe financial hardship to pay a super surcharge debt to pay a release authority for tax assessment in relation to a family law payment split approval from the Department of Human Services (DHS) on compassionate grounds your death or a certified terminal illness. If you ve commenced a TTR pension you are able to roll your pension account balance back into your Statewide account at any time. When you reach age 65 or permanently retire after reaching your preservation age, you may make partial or full lump sum withdrawals at any time from your pension account. Transition to retirement example Meet Pam. She s 58 and looking to wind down after a busy career as a magazine editor. Pam wants to continue working, but has negotiated with her employer to reduce her hours so that she can spend more time writing picture books for children. After speaking with a Statewide financial planner, Pam found she is able to transfer some of her super to start a Statewide TTR pension and draw a regular income from it. This will make up for the reduction in salary she will experience through working fewer hours in paid employment. As she will still be employed, Pam will continue to make salary sacrifice contributions to her Statewide super account in order to boost her retirement savings. Pam is able to work less without it affecting her income, while still saving for her retirement. And best of all, she now has time to spend doing the things she loves. Financial information and general advice may be provided by representatives of the fund s administrator and wholly owned company, Statewide Financial Management Services Limited, ABN 69 092 109 209 Australian Financial Services Licence No. 239063. Any personal advice may be provided by an authorised representative of Industry Fund Services Limited (IFS) ABN 54 007 016 195 AFSL No 232514. Fees may apply for financial planning advice. IFS is responsible for the advice given to you by its authorised representatives. See page 18 for further details. Statewide Pension Page 7

Retirement pension The Statewide retirement pension is for you when you retire permanently from the workforce. You aren t able to establish your retirement pension with cash (e.g. from your bank account); you can only establish it with money you have in super. You can transfer your existing super savings into a pension account to start a Statewide retirement pension using any unrestricted non-preserved money you have in super. Your super balance becomes unrestricted non-preserved when you: reach preservation age and permanently retire (see page 7 for preservation ages) cease employment with a given employer once you reach age 60 reach age 65, or become totally and permanently disabled. Retirement pension example Meet Tim. He s 61 and after starting work on the factory floor 30 years ago, has progressed to being a manager in a car manufacturing company. After a major restructure at work, Tim finds himself offered a substantial redundancy package. He had planned on working until 65, as he has minimal super, but the redundancy offer causes Tim to reconsider his options. Tim visits a Statewide financial planner and discovers that while he can t roll the redundancy money directly into a pension account, he can make an after-tax contribution to his Statewide super account before he starts a pension. Tim can then roll his super into a pension account to start a Statewide retirement pension, from which he will draw a comfortable income. He has sufficient redundancy money left over to clear a few small debts and update his car. Tim even has enough to finance a trip to Cairns to visit his daughter. If you need help working out your retirement income based on your super savings, check out the retirement calculator in the Tools section of the Statewide website at www.statewide.com.au. Getting paid from your Statewide Pension Whether you choose a TTR or retirement pension, you re able to invest your money in more than one investment option. You make this choice on your Pension application form. You also need to select the bank account where you want your pension payments deposited. You can choose how often your regular income payments are made to your bank account fortnightly, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly. You can also choose when you would like your payments to commence. Payments will be made until your pension account balance is nil. Payments will be made to your bank account on your payment date or on the previous working day (if your nominated day falls on a public holiday or weekend). However, your financial institution may not allow access to the money until the following day. There is a legal requirement that a minimum payment be made to you at least annually. This amount is based on your age and your pension account balance as at the start of the financial year, or when you opened your pension account in the first year of your pension. The minimum payment requirements set out in legislation are shown below. Age Minimum annual payment Under 65 4% 65 74 5% 75 79 6% 80 84 7% 85 89 9% 90 94 11% 95+ 14% Percentage is applied to pension account balance (as described above). There is no maximum limit on the payments you can receive from a retirement pension. And you can withdraw a lump sum from a retirement pension account at any time, with a minimum amount of $2,000. If a partial withdrawal is made from your retirement pension, you must leave $2,000, or 10% of the balance of your pension account prior to withdrawal, in your pension account whichever is the greater. If you have less than $2,000 in your account and you wish to make a withdrawal then you will need to withdraw the entire balance. There is a special rule for calculating your first payment. If you commence your pension on or after 1 June in any year, no minimum payment is required in that financial year. If you commence your pension before 1 June a minimum payment must be made to you before 30 June of that year. Financial information and general advice may be provided by representatives of the fund s administrator and wholly owned company, Statewide Financial Management Services Limited, ABN 69 092 109 209 Australian Financial Services Licence No. 239063. Any personal advice may be provided by an authorised representative of Industry Fund Services Limited (IFS) ABN 54 007 016 195 AFSL No 232514. Fees may apply for financial planning advice. IFS is responsible for the advice given to you by its authorised representatives. See page 18 for further details. Page 8 Statewide Pension

Changing your payment amount You may alter the amount you receive from your pension (both TTR and retirement) as long as it falls between the minimum and maximum requirements. Remember, maximum requirements apply to TTR pensions. If your account balance falls to zero, your payments will cease and your account will close. The length of time that you ll receive payments from your Statewide Pension will depend on factors such as the amount of regular payment you choose, investment returns, and any lump sum withdrawals you make (you can t usually make additional cash withdrawals from a TTR pension see page 7). When deciding your payments each year make sure you consider your personal circumstances and how long you want your Statewide Pension account to last. We strongly recommend that you seek professional advice from a Statewide financial planner before commencing, withdrawing or transferring your Statewide Pension to ensure it meets your specific financial situation, needs and objectives. Call 1300 65 18 65 to make your appointment. Can I choose where my pension payments come from? You can choose which investment options your payments are taken from by completing the Pension payment drawdown section on the application form. This section allows you to choose how you receive your pension payments in relation to your investment holdings. You can either choose to receive your payments from each of your investment options in proportion to your current investment allocation (which you will have specified in the Investing your account balance section of the form) or you can choose the order or from which option(s) your payments are taken, as long as they match your investment holdings. You can change your selection at any time by completing the Future pension payments section of the Member investment choice/switching (retirement and transition to retirement) form, which is available on the Statewide website, www.statewide.com.au, or by calling us on 1300 65 18 65. Why talk to a Statewide financial planner? Our planners provide advice on a wide range of financial matters, including super and retirement planning, tax, estate planning, debt consolidation and reduction and more! There are no hidden costs. All fees are agreed upon in advance and we don t accept commissions. The process is simple. Your first appointment is without cost and without obligation. We ll help you work out your needs and objectives, and if you need a financial plan, we ll confirm and agree the cost for your plan straight away and arrange a second appointment.

Your investment planning for the long term If your retirement s approaching or the big day s already arrived, it s important to remember that your investment is still long term. Your Statewide Pension might need to last you 20 years or more, so remember the performance of your investment should still be judged over time. Remember not to focus on the returns made in a single year. Instead, try to ride the market s short-term highs and lows and stick with your long-term investment plans. If you make a hasty decision and change your investment strategy without having a sound plan, you may do your retirement savings more harm than good. We recommend that you talk to a financial planner to determine which investment option(s) best suits you (see pages 9 and 18 for more information on getting financial advice). Let s take a closer look at pension investment The Statewide Pension offers a range of investment options at this important stage of your life that can help you reach your retirement goals. You can choose to invest in one or more of our diversified or single asset class investment options (see the definitions on page 13). Risk and return Each option has its own level of risk and return. To ensure you choose the investment strategy that s right for you, you ll need to consider: what level of return you want to achieve what level of risk you re comfortable with. An option s level of risk depends on the nature of its underlying investments and how it s structured to achieve its objective. In general, the greater the expected returns, the greater the level of risk, and the greater the likelihood that returns will fluctuate from year to year they may go up or they may go down they may even be negative. If having the higher level of risk associated with seeking greater long-term returns is giving you sleepless nights, you re able to lower your investment risk by spreading your investments across different asset classes. This strategy is known as diversification. Some of Statewide s investment options are diversified investments. See page 13 to find out more about asset classes and diversified options. The diagram below illustrates the expected risk and return attributes of the different investment options offered by the Statewide Pension.

The diagram is designed to show the expected return and expected volatility that would be likely to be experienced for an investment in an option relative to other options assuming that the investment time horizons, risk ratings and objectives are those set out for each relevant option on pages 14 to 17. The expected return and expected volatility set out for each option are not a promise or prediction of any particular rate of return or rate of volatility for that option. Therefore the expected return and expected volatility for an investment in an option set out in the above diagram may differ materially to the actual return and actual volatility that will be experienced for an investment in that option.

Two important things to remember Your pension is a long-term investment which may need to last you 20 years or more, so focus on your long-term goals, not the short-term fluctuations of your investment. Your investment needs and attitudes to risk may change over time, so you should regularly review your investment strategies. Why not speak to a Statewide financial planner to help work out the best investment strategy for your particular circumstances? See pages 9 and 18 for more information. Asset classes explained An asset class is a category of similar financial assets. Each asset class has its own risk and return characteristics. Statewide invests across a range of asset classes. The major asset classes are: shares property diversified bonds infrastructure alternatives cash. What are single asset class options? The single asset class options generally have higher risk because, unlike diversified investment options, investments are not spread across a range of asset classes. By mixing these options with other investment options or other investments to increase diversification, you may reduce the level of risk your investments are exposed to. The exception to this is the Cash option, which is a low-risk alternative. The four single asset class options are: Cash Diversified Bonds Australian Shares International Shares. Choosing what s right for you There are a number of things you need to consider when choosing your investment option(s): Are you comfortable taking bigger risks to make potentially higher long-term gains? What level of income do you want when you retire? How much super do you already have? Do you have any other investments? Are you happier having a steady but lower investment return? How long will you have your money invested? These can be broken down further to include Australian or international shares, private equity, Australian or international fixed interest, direct or indirect property investments, alternative debt and absolute return funds. What are diversified options? Diversified options invest in a range of asset classes which help to reduce the level of risk. The level of risk for each option varies according to the proportion held in each asset class. For example, the Growth investment option is considered less risky than the High Growth investment option due to a higher exposure to cash and diversified bonds (which may be less volatile or a lower risk in the short term). You can choose from Statewide s six diversified options: Conservative Conservative Balanced Active Balanced Sustainable Diversified Growth High Growth.

Financial information and general advice may be provided by representatives of the fund s administrator and wholly owned company, Statewide Financial Management Services Limited, ABN 69 092 109 209 Australian Financial Services Licence No. 239063. Any personal advice may be provided by an authorised representative of Industry Fund Services Limited (IFS) ABN 54 007 016 195 AFSL No 232514. Fees may apply for financial planning advice. IFS is responsible for the advice given to you by its authorised representatives. Changing your investment option(s) When you first apply for the Statewide Pension you re able to choose your investment option(s). The Statewide Pension provides you with the ability to change, or switch, your investment option(s). You can switch options as often as you like at any time. To switch options, use the Member investment choice/switching (retirement and transition to retirement) form, available on the Statewide website, or visit Statewide.On.Line. Unitisation and your pension account Since 1 July 2012, Statewide has operated daily unit pricing. When you invest in the Statewide Pension your money is used to buy units in the investment option(s) you have chosen. The investment earnings of each option are reflected in movements in unit prices (up or down). Unit prices are calculated on a daily basis. What is unitisation? When you invest in any of the Statewide Pension investment options, your money is placed in a pool of investments along with the funds of every other member who s chosen the same option as you. The balance of your Statewide Pension account is applied to buy units in the investment option(s) you have chosen. Movement in unit prices reflects the returns on the investments of your chosen investment option(s). Put simply, unit prices are a way of managing the changes in your account and tracking the performance of your investment option(s). Let s look at an example: Don has $155,000 invested in the Conservative option. The unit price for the Conservative option on 1 July is $1.00, so Don has 155,000 units as at 1 July ($155,000 $1.00 = 155,000). The unit price for the Conservative option increases from $1.00 to $1.05 on 23 July. This means that the value of Don s 155,000 units also increases, from $155,000 to $162,750 (155,000 x $1.05 = $162,750). But if the unit price dropped to $0.95 from $1.00 on 23 July, the value of Don s 155,000 units would decrease from $155,000 to $147,250 (155,000 x $0.95 = $147,250). Other factors will also impact the value of Don s investment, such as withdrawals or transfers out. Fees and the value of the assets that make up the Conservative option are taken into account when determining the daily unit price. Other fees may be deducted from Don s account which may affect the number of units in his account. Please note that this example is for illustration purposes only. Page 18 Statewide Pension

What happens to my units when a withdrawal is made from my pension account? When you withdraw or transfer an amount of money from your pension account, or have fees deducted from your pension account the number of units you have will reduce. This is because your pension account balance will reduce by the amount of money withdrawn. Under unitisation, the unit price for your pension payment is determined on the business day that your payment is deducted from the fund. What if my pension account doesn t have a rounded dollar figure, e.g. $50,000? It s likely that most members won t have a rounded dollar figure in their accounts that s OK. If you don t have the exact amount in your pension account to purchase a whole unit, you ll be allocated a portion, or percentage, of a unit. Your money will be fully allocated because we allocate fractions of units, up to five decimal places. How does unitisation affect switching? Unitisation means that when you switch your investment option(s), you ll be selling units in one investment option to buy units in another, using the unit prices that apply to both your old and new investment option(s) on the day your switch is processed. How much does switching cost? The first switch in a financial year is free. Additional switches in the same financial year cost $20 per switch and will be deducted from your pension account. When are unit prices declared? Unit prices will generally be determined by 4pm each business day and will therefore be available on the Statewide website the next day. However, there may be some instances where daily unit pricing may be delayed. These would be abnormal circumstances where the information to determine unit prices is not available, or an extraordinary event has occurred. If this was to occur a notice would be placed on our website. Unit pricing errors Our Unit pricing policy ensures that current members will have their pension account corrected in the unlikely event a material error should occur. For people who are no longer members, but were members at the time the error was made, no payment will be made if the error amounted to less than $20. We may seek to recover amounts overpaid to members as a consequence of unit pricing errors. Further information on Statewide s Unit pricing policy is available on request by calling 1300 65 18 65. Overseas currency hedging When Statewide invests in other countries, the value of the investment can be impacted by both the movement in value of the underlying investment and the movement in value of the Australian dollar compared to the local currency of the investment. The effects of the changes in international currency values can be reduced by currency hedging. Statewide s international investments will be partially hedged, with the level of currency hedging varying from time to time in accordance with our foreign currency hedging policy. Statewide currently outsources management of currency hedging to a specialist currency manager. In addition to the overall currency hedging arrangements implemented by Statewide, a number of individual managers that invest in international assets on our behalf also manage currency exposure as part of their overall portfolio management. Your pension and responsible investment considerations Statewide is a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (www.unpri.org) and has an Environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment and proxy voting policy. This policy sets out the way in which we aim to incorporate responsible investment considerations, including environmental, social and governance factors into our investment analysis and decision making. Through this policy Statewide seeks to optimally protect and manage investments over time by addressing material risks. This policy is available on the Responsible investing page in the Investment section at www.statewide.com.au. From time to time the trustee appoints professional investment managers to manage the investments of the fund. Currently these investment managers consider ESG factors to varying degrees across our investment options. The Statewide Sustainable Diversified investment option is currently the only option to explicitly use ESG factors to guide investment selection. This option also takes into account labour standards and ethical considerations. Reserving policy Statewide maintains an operational risk reserve that is operated in accordance with the Operational risk reserve payments policy. The purpose of the reserve is to meet the costs of incidents where material losses may arise from operational risks and any unforeseen costs of the fund. The level of the reserve maintained is based on an assessment of the risks faced by the fund, determined from time to time. Need help with investment?

What happens to your pension if you die? Thinking about who you d like to receive your pension investment if you were to die can be difficult. But leaving clear instructions should the worst happen can make it easier for your loved ones should the need arise. By nominating beneficiaries, you re telling us who you d like to receive your pension, or pension account balance, if you die. If you wish your pension to continue to be paid to your nominated beneficiary as a pension, special rules apply (please see Reversionary beneficiary section below). We take your beneficiaries into account when determining how to pay your benefits. It s important to update these details to reflect any changes in your personal circumstances, such as getting married or divorced. Your beneficiary/beneficiaries must be: your dependant(s) and/or your legal representative the executor or administrator of your estate a combination of your dependants and legal representative. A dependant includes your spouse (as defined, including de facto or same sex partner) and children (irrespective of age), any person with whom you had an interdependency relationship immediately prior to your death or any person who at the time of your death, and in the trustee s opinion, was wholly or partially financially dependent on you. When nominating more than one person you must state the proportion that you wish to be paid to each person. The total amount must add up to 100%. You should be aware that different tax laws apply to different beneficiaries. If you re unsure about your decision, please call 1300 65 18 65 and talk to a client services officer or one of the Statewide financial planners. We ll list your beneficiary/beneficiaries on your annual statement. Types of beneficiary There are three types of beneficiary nominations: Binding beneficiary A binding beneficiary nomination will ensure that your pension benefit is paid to your nominated beneficiary/beneficiaries subject to them meeting legal criteria and certain exclusions (i.e. family law splits/court orders). If upon your death, the trustee finds it is unable to verify any of your nominees as a dependant, your nomination will be declared invalid, and the trustee is then required to fully review to whom your account is paid. Preferred beneficiary Alternatively, you may nominate preferred beneficiaries. While it is not formally binding, the trustee will take into account your nomination, together with any other factors which are relevant at the time of your death. Reversionary beneficiary When you commence your Statewide Pension you also have the choice of nominating a reversionary beneficiary. This means that if you die during the lifetime of your pension payments, your pension immediately reverts to your nominated reversionary beneficiary and your pension account balance is not payable as a lump sum to your beneficiaries and/ or your estate. This ensures income for your nominated reversionary beneficiary as payments continue to be made without any need to wait for a determination to be made about a lump sum distribution. The reversionary beneficiary may choose to cease payments and withdraw the total pension account balance. A reversionary pension can only be paid to a person who at the time of your death was a: spouse (including same-sex partners) person with whom you had an interdependency relationship financial dependant in the case of a dependant who is a child, only if the child is less than 18 years of age, 18 years old but less than 25 and financially dependent on you, or has a disability that meets the definition as defined in the Disability Services Act. If a nominated reversionary beneficiary does not meet the above requirement, then any reversionary benefit can only be paid as a lump sum. An adult child is ineligible for a pension, even where the child, although over age 25, is financially dependent on you (other than due to disability) or had an interdependency relationship with you. In this case the death benefit can only be paid to them as a lump sum, not a pension. It is not possible to nominate more than one reversionary beneficiary for your Statewide Pension. We recommend you discuss the implications of this choice with a financial adviser. Your nomination must be signed, dated, and witnessed by two independent adults (at least 18 years old and not including any beneficiaries). Binding nominations are only valid for three years. If you choose this option, Statewide will advise you to update your nomination prior to your next three-year due date.

Fees and other costs Consumer advisory warning Did you know? Small differences in both investment performance and fees and costs can have a substantial impact on your long-term returns. For example, total annual fees and costs of 2% of your fund balance rather than 1% could reduce your final return by up to 20% over a 30-year period (for example, reduce it from $100,000 to $80,000). You should consider whether features such as superior investment performance or the provision of better member services justify higher fees and costs. You may be able to negotiate to pay lower administration fees. Ask the fund or your financial adviser. To find out more If you d like to find out more, or see the impact of the fees based on your own circumstances, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) website www.moneysmart.gov.au has a superannuation fee calculator to help you check out different fee options. The inclusion of the important information above is required by law. Please note, however, that the ability to negotiate fees is not applicable to Statewide. We strive to keep our fees as low as possible while maintaining effective management of the fund. Statewide is committed to ensuring you re provided with a value-formoney pension product. As an industry fund, we strive to keep fees to a minimum to protect your savings and allow them to grow. This document shows fees and other costs that you may be charged on your Statewide Pension account. These fees and other costs may be deducted from your account balance, from the returns on your investment, through unit prices, or from the fund assets as a whole. Other fees, such as activity fees, may also be charged, but these will depend on the nature of the activity chosen by you. Taxes are set out in other sections of this PDS. You should read all the information about fees and other costs because it s important to understand their impact on your investment. Statewide Pension Page 21

Statewide Pension fee table Type of fee or cost Amount How and when paid Investment fee Nil Not applicable Administration fee $78 per annum ($1.50 per week) plus an asset-based fee of 0.15% of your account balance per annum, collectively capped at $1,000 per annum per account The dollar-based fee is deducted from your account at the end of each month or on earlier withdrawal from the fund. The asset-based fee is deducted from the earnings of each of the investment options before the allocation of earnings to the accounts through unit prices. If your collective dollar-based fee and asset-based fee is above $1,000, a rebate above the cap will be calculated on 30 June each year using the average balance for the financial year. The dollar amount of the rebate will be credited to your pension account by the purchase of additional units (based on the proportional split of your investments as at 30 June) credited at 30 June at the market values applicable at that time. The fee above the cap will only be rebated as at the end of the financial year and will not be rebated during the year if you exit the fund. The cap amount will not be pro-rated if you join part way through the year. Buy-sell spread Nil Not applicable Switching fee Nil for the first switch per financial year, $20 per switch thereafter Exit fee Nil Not applicable Advice fees Nil Not applicable Relating to all members investing in a particular investment option Other fees and costs Additional fees may apply these are disclosed under the heading Additional explanation of fees and costs Indirect cost ratio Indirect costs include third-party investment management and performance fees paid by the trustee. Between 0.07% to 0.80% per annum (forecast for 2015 16 ) depending on your chosen investment option(s) see pages 14 17 See also Additional explanation of fees and costs Deducted from your account at the time of the switch (there are no fees if you request that your future pension payments be deducted from a different investment option) See page 23 Deducted from the investment option s earnings before the allocation of earnings through unit prices See Additional explanation of fees and costs on page 23 for more information on activity fees, advice fees for personal advice and other costs that may be applied. The fees stated for 2015 16 are estimated third-party investment management fees (including performance fees), based on our current asset allocation and the investment managers who currently manage money for that investment option. The fees stated are therefore predictive and may differ materially from the fees actually incurred. The actual investment management fees are calculated at the end of each year when returns for the year are known. These are published in the annual report. Page 22 Statewide Pension

Additional explanation of fees and costs Family law charges The trustee allows either the splitting or deferral of a member s pension account upon separation or divorce. The trustee charges a reasonable fee for any requests to comply with the family law provisions. Statewide s charges are: Request for information by member Request for information by non-member An order to split or flag an interest Splitting a benefit Nil $120 (payable at the time of request) $240 (payable at the time of request) $360 (deducted in equal parts from the benefit payments and the retained benefit unless prior arrangements are agreed to) Goods and services tax (GST) All fees and charges are quoted inclusive of GST where applicable. Transaction and operational costs No buy-sell spreads currently apply in respect of any transaction. Transaction and operational costs are either included in the fees set out in the indirect costs section of the table on page 22 or reflected in the prices of the underlying investments in each investment option. They are not charged separately. Investment management and performance fees (please see calculation example below) These costs form part of the indirect costs as shown in the fees table on page 22 and are not directly deducted from your account. Performance fees are only payable to investment managers when they achieve an investment return higher than an agreed target. These fees can only be calculated at the end of each year when returns for the year are known. The amount of performance fees paid will vary from year to year. Generally, the performance fee is deducted from the fund s earnings, before unit prices are declared, and is calculated as follows: Average assets managed over 12 months (e.g. $50 million) = performance fee x % return above target (e.g. 1%) x performance fee percentage (e.g. 10%) $50 million x 1% x 10% = $50,000 Details of performance fees for each investment option are shown in the investment section. Investment management fees are calculated at the end of each year and published in the annual report. Other fees Fees may be charged for extraordinary services required by members. Taxation Please refer to the taxation section on page 25 for the taxation impact on contributions, fund earnings and benefit payments. Any tax benefit the fund may receive will be reflected in the amount available for distribution, through unit prices, to members or held in reserves. Statewide Pension Page 23

Defined fees A fee is an activity fee if: 1) the fee relates to costs incurred by the trustee of the superannuation entity that are directly related to an activity of the trustee: a) that is engaged in at the request, or with the consent, of a member, or b) that relates to a member and is required by law, and 2) those costs are not otherwise charged as an administration fee, an investment fee, a buy-sell spread, a switching fee, an exit fee, an advice fee or an insurance fee. An administration fee is a fee that relates to the administration or operation of the superannuation entity and includes costs incurred by the trustee of the entity that: 1) relate to the administration or operation of the entity, and 2) are not otherwise charged as an investment fee, a buy-sell spread, a switching fee, an exit fee, an activity fee, an advice fee or an insurance fee. A fee is an advice fee if: 1) the fee relates directly to costs incurred by the trustee of the superannuation entity because of the provision of financial product advice to a member by: a) the trustee of the entity, or b) another person acting as an employee of, or under an arrangement with, the trustee of the entity, and 2) those costs are not otherwise charged as an administration fee, an investment fee, a switching fee, an exit fee, an activity fee or an insurance fee. A buy-sell spread is a fee to recover transaction costs incurred by the trustee of the superannuation entity in relation to the sale and purchase of assets of the entity. An exit fee is a fee to recover the costs of disposing of all or part of members interests in the superannuation entity. The indirect cost ratio (ICR), for an investment option offered by a superannuation entity, is the ratio of the total of the indirect costs for the investment option, to the total average net assets of the superannuation entity attributed to the investment option. Note: a dollar-based fee deducted directly from a member s account is not included in the indirect cost ratio. An investment fee is a fee that relates to the investment of the assets of a superannuation entity and includes: 1) fees in payment for the exercise of care and expertise in the investment of those assets (including performance fees), and 2) costs incurred by the trustee of the entity that: a) relate to the investment of assets of the entity, and b) are not otherwise charged as an administration fee, a buy-sell spread, a switching fee, an exit fee, an activity fee, an advice fee or an insurance fee. A switching fee is a fee to recover the costs of switching all or part of a member s interest in the superannuation entity from one class of beneficial interest in the entity to another. Fee changes From time to time, the trustee may increase its fees. You will be provided with 30 days prior notice in writing of such increases. Multiple lump sum transfers can only be placed into the one pension account if they are received at the same time. Statewide offers a facility to roll in multiple lump sums to a super account before transferring into the Statewide Pension. Fees and investment returns to the super account will be applicable while roll-ins are being consolidated. Example of annual fees and costs for the Active Balanced investment option This table gives an example of how the fees and costs for the Active Balanced investment option for this product can affect your pension investment over a one-year period. You should use this table to compare this product with other pension products. Example - the Active Balanced investment option Administration fees PLUS Indirect costs for the Active Balanced investment option EQUALS cost of fund See page 23 Fee Balance of $50,000 $78 per annum ($1.50 per week) plus an asset-based fee of 0.15% of your account balance per annum (collectively capped at $1,000 per annum per account ) 0.63% per annum (forecast for 2015 16) You will be charged $78 in administration fees regardless of your balance, plus $75. And, indirect costs of $315 each year will be deducted from your investment. If your balance were $50,000, then for that year you would be charged fees of: $468 for the Active Balanced investment option. The fees stated for 2015 16 are estimated third-party investment management fees (including performance fees), based on our current asset allocation and the investment managers who currently manage money for that investment option. The fees stated are therefore predictive and may differ materially from the fees actually incurred. The actual investment management fees are calculated at the end of each year when returns for the year are known. These are published in the annual report. Additional fees may be applicable, e.g. financial planning fees. Page 24 Statewide Pension

Taxation There is no tax payable in setting up your pension if you transfer money from a super account, unless the amount transferred contains an untaxed component such as a termination payment direct from an employer or a payment from certain super funds for government employees. No tax is payable on investment earnings in your pension account. Tax may be levied when funds leave your account in two ways: on regular income benefit payments on lump sum benefit payments. The table below summarises the various taxes that may be applied to your investment. Providing your tax file number If you ll be aged under 60 years at the time of commencing your Statewide Pension, you can supply your TFN to Statewide by completing an ATO Tax file number declaration form. Your TFN is confidential and we will use it only for legal purposes. You don t have to provide us with your TFN; however, if you do not supply it you may pay a higher rate of tax on your benefits. Please contact client services on 1300 65 18 65 to obtain a TFN declaration form. The forms are also available from Australia Post outlets. Members aged 60 years and over don t need to supply a TFN. Benefit type Prior to age 60 Age 60+ Regular income payments Lump sum withdrawals Tax-free component: tax free Taxable component (taxed): Under age 55: taxable at marginal rate plus Medicare levy (no tax offset) Aged between 55 and 60: taxable at marginal rate plus Medicare levy less 15% pension offset You may elect if the normal tax-free threshold applies to your pension income. If you are less than 60 years of age you will receive an annual PAYG payment summary detailing pension payments and any tax withheld for you to include with your tax return. Tax free component: tax free Taxable component (taxed): Under age 55: Maximum 20% plus Medicare levy Aged 55-59: Up to low-rate cap amount ($195,000 for 2015 16): tax free Balance: maximum 15% plus Medicare levy This excludes taxes that might apply upon your death (see page 26). Tax free Tax free Tax free Proportional drawdown of benefits: when any part of a pension benefit is made, the benefits will be considered to include both the tax-free and taxable components with the relevant portions of each reflecting the proportions that make up the total benefit. Some individuals under 55 may also be eligible for a 15% pension tax offset if the pension is paid due to permanent incapacity or from the death of a member. Statewide Pension Page 25

Lump sum payments Type of beneficiary Age of deceased Age of recipient Dependants Any age Any age 0% Tax treatment of taxable component Non-dependants Any age Any age 15% plus Medicare levy Pension payments Type of beneficiary Age of deceased Age of recipient Dependants 60 and above Any age 0% Dependants Below 60 60 and above 0% Tax treatment of taxable component Dependants Below 60 Below 60 Marginal tax rate plus Medicare levy less 15% Pension offset Non-dependants Death benefits cannot be paid to a non-dependant as pension payments. There are restrictions on adult children being paid a death benefit pension (see page 20). Where a child who was receiving a death benefit as a pension is required to commute the benefit at age 25, the lump sum is tax free. Tax on death benefits The tax liability on death benefits depends on how the benefit is paid lump sum or income payments and whether it s paid to a dependant or non-dependant for tax purposes. For tax purposes, a dependant may be a spouse or a former spouse, a child under age 18, a person with whom the deceased had an interdependency relationship, or a person who was financially dependent on the deceased. Any person who does not fit one of the definitions above is considered to be a non-dependant for tax purposes. Note: Different tax applies to payments relating to permanent incapacity, terminal illness and departing Australia super payments. Different tax may apply to your payments if your TFN or the beneficiary s TFN have not been provided to Statewide. Page 26 Statewide Pension

Your Statewide Pension and Centrelink/Department of Veterans Affairs entitlements You may be eligible to receive the Commonwealth Age or Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) Pension along with your Statewide Pension depending on your circumstances. Both Centrelink and the DVA have two key tests to assess your eligibility for an Age Pension: an income test and an assets test. Income test Statewide Pensions commenced before 1 January 2015 will receive concessional treatment under the income test, so long as you were in receipt of an eligible government income support payment such as the Age Pension immediately before that date, and you continue to be eligible to receive that payment. Your annual Pension payment, less any non-assessed amount, may be included in the income test. Statewide Pensions commenced from 1 January 2015 will be subject to deeming under the income test. This also applies to Statewide Pensions commenced prior to 1 January 2015 where the recipient was ineligible for a government income support payment until after 1 January 2015. Deeming treats all financial assets under the same rules and assumes assets earn a certain rate of return, regardless of the income they actually earn. Assets test Your Statewide Pension balance is an assessable asset under the assets test. Centrelink and the DVA generally do not include the value of your home in the asset limits, but the assets test threshold varies based on home ownership and whether you have single or couple status. Assets over these amounts may reduce Commonwealth Age or DVA Pension payments. For more information about your Centrelink or DVA entitlements you can contact: Centrelink Phone 132 300 or visit www.centrelink.gov.au Department of Veterans Affairs Phone 133 254 or visit www.dva.gov.au Rules governing social security benefits are complex and subject to change. You should talk with your financial planner about how your pension may affect your eligibility for social security benefits given your individual objectives, financial situation and needs.
