The following should be read in conjunction with the text under the heading what risks apply to investing? on page 13 of the PDS. standard risk measure The Standard Risk Measure is based on industry guidance to allow investors to compare investment options that are expected to deliver a similar number of negative annual returns over any 20 year period. The table below sets out the Standard Risk Measure labels. risk band risk label estimated number of negative annual returns over any 20 year period 1 Very Low Less than Low 0.5 to less than 1 3 Low to Medium 1 to less than 2 4 Medium 2 to less than 3 5 Medium to High 3 to less than 4 6 High 4 to less than 6 7 Very High 6 or greater The Standard Risk Measure is not a complete assessment of all forms of investment risk. For instance it does not detail what the size of a negative return could be or the potential for a positive return to be less than an investor may require to meet their objectives. Further, it does not take into account the impact of administration fees and tax on the likelihood of a negative return. Members should still ensure they are comfortable with the risks and potential losses associated with their chosen investment option(s). See page 13 of the PDS (and pages 7 and 8 of the Additional information booklet) for further details about the risks of investing through ipac iaccess Personal Super and Allocated Pension.

If rollovers are received after 90 days, we will contact you to confirm your instructions. purchase instructions Generally you would lodge purchase instructions at the time of making your rollover or transfer, however you may elect to lodge purchase instructions to be applied to your available cash account balance at any time. Any balance held of $500 or more in your cash account above the 2 per cent minimum holding (excluding provisions for tax and pension payments) will be invested according to your standing instruction (refer to page 16 for details).

Whichever frequency you choose, you can also nominate the date you wish to receive your pension and may change the frequency and/or payment date at any time. You can select a day between the 5th and 28th of the month or the last day of the month. If your regular payment date falls on a weekend or a Melbourne public holiday, we will pay your pension on the preceding business day. We will make pension payments from your account until your account balance is nil. The length of time your pension payments continue depends on the size of your investment, the amount of pension you take each year, any lump-sum commutations, fees and the investment earnings generated from the investment option or options you choose. There is no guarantee that your pension payments will continue for life. 9

16 pension how can I invest in iaccess Allocated Pension? You may also commence a pension with preserved super benefits if you have reached preservation age, are still in the workforce and seeking to transition into retirement. This type of allocated pension is known as a non-commutable allocated pension (NCAP). An NCAP provides a flexible and tax-effective way for you to access your super benefits from preservation age without having to choose between full-time employment and full-time retirement. If you choose an NCAP you are not locked in to your choice should your circumstances change in the future. i For further information on preservation age refer to section 2 of the Additional information booklet. pension payments Allocated pensions require payments of a minimum amount to be made at least annually. The minimum pension amount for the part year up to 30 June is determined at the time of your initial investment. The minimum is then recalculated at each subsequent 1 July. If the minimum has not been paid by the time of the last pension payment for the year, then the Trustee must increase that pension payment to ensure the minimum pension amount is reached. For an NCAP there is also a maximum pension amount of 10 per cent of your investment at the time of your first investment and calculated every 1 July using the investment balance. In the first year of your NCAP you can choose to receive a pro rata pension amount or non-pro rata pension amount. Your financial adviser can help you calculate your starting minimum pension payment levels. i For further information on calculating pension payments refer to section 3 of the Additional information booklet. automatically increasing your pension Over time inflation reduces the purchasing power of your pension payments. To help keep pace with inflation you can choose to increase your pension payment amount automatically each year. You can choose from two methods: ~ fixed percentage (up to 7 per cent per annum) applied on 30 June each year, or ~ Consumer Price Index (CPI) applied on 30 June each year using the most recently published CPI. To activate this facility simply make this selection on the application form. You may change or cancel this facility at any time. withdrawals Withdrawals (being those other than regular pension payments) of $1,000 or more can be made at any time and are treated as either: ~ ad hoc pension payments, which may be taxed at a higher rate than regular pension payments, or ~ lump-sum withdrawals (called commutations) that are treated as super lump-sum benefits and may be subject to lump-sum tax. i For further information on taxation of withdrawals refer to section 6 of the Additional information booklet. If you do not specify whether you would like your additional withdrawal as an ad hoc pension payment or a commutation, we will treat it as a commutation. If your pension is an NCAP, withdrawals are only allowed in the following circumstances: ~ to withdraw any unrestricted nonpreserved benefit ~ to pay a super surcharge liability ~ to effect a super split under Family Law ~ where a condition of release (eg retirement or reaching age 65) has been met after the NCAP commenced ~ to roll back to super (eg if the income stream from the NCAP is no longer required) ~ to roll over to another noncommutable income stream ~ to pay for non-concessional contributions tax liability. To make a withdrawal you will need to mail, or fax a completed withdrawal request form, which can be obtained either from ipac Investor Services or your financial adviser. Refer to fax and transaction facility on page 17 for special conditions relating to fax and transaction requests. Withdrawal requests are generally actioned within two business days *, provided there are sufficient funds in the cash account to meet the withdrawal request. The available balance in your cash account must be sufficient to meet your withdrawal requirements and any transaction costs incurred. If sufficient cash is not available, you will need to nominate which of your underlying investments are to be sold in order to proceed with the withdrawal. The sale of underlying investments will be at the market price at the time of sale. Investment withdrawals from your account can take up to 30 days of us receiving all of the necessary information to process. We will endeavour to complete withdrawals within 7 10 business days, however timeframes may vary depending on the time taken by external fund managers to complete processing of sale transactions. * A business day means Monday to Friday, excluding all Melbourne public holidays. 10

For more information see fast payment option on page 15. Refer to the underlying fund managers disclosure documents for further information relating to withdrawal conditions associated with the underlying investment options. Investment withdrawals from your account are normally processed within 30 days of us receiving all the necessary information. There is an exception to withdrawal time frames where particular investments have redemption restrictions imposed by the underlying fund manager that prevent us from paying the benefit within this period. These investments are referred to as illiquid investments and are identified in the iaccess Investment Menu. We will endeavour to complete withdrawals within 7 10 business days. However, timeframes may vary depending on the time taken by fund managers to complete processing of sale transactions. If you nominate to sell part of your holdings in any managed investment fund (via a partial withdrawal or as part of a standing sell instruction) and the sale amount exceeds 95 per cent of the current asset value, a full sale of the asset will be performed. If you make a full withdrawal (commutation), we are required to first pay your minimum pension amount for the relevant portion of that financial year. If you have already received more than this amount, no additional pension payment is required. If your non-concessional contributions from your super account have exceeded the non-concessional cap prior to commencing a pension, you may incur an excess tax liability. In this case you must obtain a release authority from the ATO to withdraw an amount equal to your tax liability from your pension fund. i For further information on the nonconcessional contributions cap refer to section 6 of the Additional information booklet.
