Together with the Investment Menu and Fee Definitions Flyer, these documents should be considered before making a final decision to invest. They are available when you log in to plum.com.au Proposed sale of MLC Limited Last year the NAB Group announced a plan to sell 80% of its insurance business (MLC Limited) to Nippon Life Insurance Company. This is planned to be completed late 2016. The proposed sale will not impact your insurance benefits (if applicable) or the terms and conditions applying to your insurance as set out in the PDS and in this Insurance Guide. In the future, should your insurance benefits or terms and conditions change, we ll notify you as required by law.

Your insurance in Findex Staff Superannuation Plan (Plan) We offer flexible insurance in the Plan so you can make sure you have the cover that suits your needs. MLC Limited (MLC) is the Insurer and we deduct premiums to pay them for your insurance cover. We can change the Insurer at any time if we believe this is in the best interest of members. Types of cover Standard cover You will automatically receive a level of standard death and total and permanent disablement (TPD) cover when you join the Plan, subject to your eligibility. You can then choose to tailor your level of cover to suit your needs. The following types of standard cover are offered through the Plan: death cover TPD cover, and SCI cover. Voluntary death and TPD cover Voluntary death only or death and TPD cover allows you to add extra insurance to your account in addition to your standard death and TPD cover, subject to your eligibility. Automatic Acceptance Limit (AAL) Where you are eligible for standard insurance cover, the Insurer will provide automatic acceptance and increases of that cover to reflect your salary increases up to a limit without you having to provide health evidence. This is referred to as the automatic acceptance limit (AAL). The AAL for standard cover is: $1.5 million for death and TPD cover one unit of cover for casual employees, and $15,000 per month for SCI cover. Overriding insurance policy Payment of an insured benefit is subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable insurance policy. This guide provides a summary of the main features of the insurance policy covering the Plan. Other conditions may apply. This guide should not be relied upon as a full and complete description of the terms and conditions of the insurance cover. Your benefit may be reduced if the Insurer refuses or restricts your cover or does not pay out all or part of the insured benefit when a claim is made. Contact us on 1300 55 7586 for a copy of the Plan s insurance policy. Making sure you re eligible for cover You are eligible for cover if you: are under age 65 are an Australian resident or are eligible to work in Australia become a member of the Plan within 130 days of becoming an employee of Findex. If you join after 130 days, you will receive limited cover until you have been employed by your employer continuously for 12 months from the date cover commences are at work performing the normal duties of your occupation on the date you become eligible for cover. If you are not at work on this date, you will receive limited cover until you return to active employment for 60 consecutive days. All Findex employees who had previously exercised Choice of Fund will receive the default level of insurance cover on joining this Plan prior to 10 March 2017. If an employee who had exercised Choice of Fund joins the Plan after 10 March 2017 the default level of cover is subject to limited cover. Limited cover will be removed on the earlier of: the date you have been employed by your employer continuously for 12 months from the date cover commences, or the date you provide evidence of insurability and Insurer agrees to remove the limited cover restriction. Choice of Fund means an election from you, to not have your superannuation guarantee contributions paid to this Plan. Limited cover means you are covered for claims arising from: an illness that first became apparent, or an injury which first occurred on or after you first became eligible for cover. 1

Changing your cover You can change or cancel your insurance cover at any time by simply completing the Findex Staff Superannuation Insurance form. Insurance type Death Death & TPD You can apply for up to Unlimited (the maximum benefit limit for Terminal Illness is $3 million) Unlimited, including up to a maximum $5 million of TPD insurance The maximum cover you can apply for includes any existing policies you have and the insurance provided by your employer.

To provide health evidence you will need to complete the personal statement available at plum.com.au or by contacting us on 1300 55 7586. If we need any further information from you we will let you know. If you cancel your cover your insurance will cease on the day we receive your request. If you decrease or cancel your insurance cover and later change your mind, you can reinstate your insurance, but you will need to provide satisfactory health evidence. When will your insurance cover start? Any standard insurance cover you are eligible for will commence from your first day of employment or on the day you are first eligible for cover and may be subject to Limited cover as outlined in Making sure you re eligible for cover. If you apply to change your standard cover or you apply for voluntary cover, your new level of cover will commence from the date the Insurer accepts your application and premiums are payable from that date. The Insurer may decline or place conditions or restrictions on your insurance cover as result of its assessment of the health evidence you provide. 2

Death and TPD cover Death and TPD cover can help you and your family remain financially secure if the unexpected happens. This cover provides a lump sum benefit to your beneficiaries or your legal personal representative if you die or to you if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness or suffer total and permanent disablement. Standard death and TPD cover Standard death and TPD cover is available to you through the Plan if you are under age 65, subject to eligibility.

Superannuation salary is your base salary. Future service is the number of years and complete months remaining to age 65.

Please do not assume your cover has been extended until you have received written confirmation. Terminal illness benefit The Insurer may pay your insured death cover if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness, subject to a maximum of $3 million.

SCI Cover SCI cover provides you with a monthly income while you are unable to work so you can focus on getting better. Standard SCI Cover Standard SCI cover is available to you through the Plan if you are a permanent or fixed term employee working at least 14 hours per week and you are under age 65. SCI cover provides you with a replacement income of up to 75% x Monthly income up to a maximum of $30,000 per month, then 50% of your monthly income thereafter, up to $50,000 per month, plus 9.5% x Monthly income paid to your superannuation plan. Your SCI benefit is paid monthly in arrears while you are totally disabled for up to a maximum period to age 65 following the end of the 90 day waiting period. The monthly benefit in excess of $30,000 per month is limited to a maximum benefit period of 2 years. Your SCI benefit is indexed to the lesser of 5% and the consumer price index (CPI). Monthly income is one-twelfth of your superannuation salary. Example of SCI benefit From our earlier example, John has a superannuation salary of $55,000 pa. If John were to become totally and temporarily disabled, his insured benefit (after a 90 day waiting period) would be: 75% x $55,000 = $41,250 pa ($3,437.50 per month) When will benefits be reduced? Your SCI benefit will be reduced proportionately by benefits received or amounts that you are expected to receive from other sources, so that your total benefit does not exceed 75% of your monthly income (as applicable). Therefore, any benefits you may be entitled to from other sources such as (but not limited to) other disability benefits, workers compensation, or other compensation benefits will be considered when determining the amount of your SCI benefit. When won t a SCI benefit be paid? Benefits are not payable if your disability or loss arises directly or indirectly from: any intentional self-inflicted injury or any attempt to commit suicide normal and uncomplicated pregnancy or childbirth war or warlike operations service in the armed forces of any country (not including the Australian Army Reserve), or any other event or matter referred to in the insurance policy. When do SCI payments cease? If payable, your benefit will continue until the earliest of the following: the date your disability ceases the date you turn 65 benefit payments have been made for a period of up to age 65 you are no longer under the regular and continuous care of a doctor, or you fail to provide us with all requested information and other evidence reasonably required to assess your claim. less John s applicable rate of pay as you go (PAYG) tax. Plus 9.5% x $55,000 = $5,225 pa ($435.42 per month) paid into his superannuation account. Claiming SCI You are considered to be totally and temporarily disabled (and therefore eligible to apply for a SCI benefit) if the Insurer is satisfied that because of injury or illness you are continuously: unable to perform at least one of the important duties of your own occupation under the care of and following the regular and continuous advice for treatment from a doctor in relation to that illness or injury, and not engaged in any occupation, paid or unpaid. 8

You may be required to return to Australia at your own expense where necessary for medical treatment or assessment. Emergency transport* Payable where as a result of suffering an illness or injury which results in your total or partial disability, you will require the use of emergency transport. This benefit is limited to $500, and is only payable where emergency transport costs are not recoverable from any other source. Family carer benefit* Payable where a member of your family leaves permanent employment to care for you. This benefit is payable for a maximum of six months and is the lesser amount of: the amount the Insurer estimates the carer would have otherwise earned; or a benefit of $2,000 per month. This benefit accrues and will commence from the later of the end of the waiting period and the date the family member leaves permanent employment to care for you. Interim accident cover If you have an accident and suffer temporary disablement while the Insurer is assessing your application for SCI cover the Insurer will pay your monthly benefit equal to the monthly amount you have applied for. Interim accident cover will commence from the date the Insurer receives a fully completed personal statement and declaration of health from you. Interim accident cover will cease on the earliest of; 90 days from the date the Insurer receives your fully completed application, the day your request for cover is withdrawn, approved or declined by the Insurer. An interim accident benefit will not be payable if: the injury occurred prior to the date you became eligible for cover an injury is caused by your participation in hazardous pastimes or sports that would not be covered under the Insurer s normal assessment guidelines, or the cover applied for would have been declined or you claim for an event/condition excluded under the Insurer s normal assessment guidelines. Leave of absence Your SCI cover will continue for up to 24 months if you commence leave without pay (such as maternity or study leave) provided: premiums continue to be paid that prior to your leave, your employer has approved the period and any subsequent extension (not exceeding 24 months in total) of leave of absence in writing, and immediately prior to commencing the period of leave you were at work performing the normal duties of your occupation. This benefit will become payable from the later of: the end of the 90 day waiting period, or the nominated date of your return to work, which was approved by your employer. The Insurer may approve cover beyond this period. You should request an extension by writing to us at least 60 days before you cover is due to cease. Please do not assume your cover has been extended until you have received written confirmation. 9

Partial disability benefit You may be considered partially disabled when, after your waiting period has ended and following a period of at least 14 days of total disability, you are only capable of returning to work on a partial basis at reduced earnings. Your partial benefit is calculated as follows: AB C A where: A is your earned monthly income, immediately prior to becoming totally disabled; B is the actual monthly income earned by you during the month in which you became partially disabled; C is your insured monthly benefit. You will need to be under the care of and following the advice for treatment from a doctor in relation to your injury or illness. This benefit will be payable for up to the maximum benefit to age 65 while you remain partially disabled or until the date your monthly income earned equals or exceeds your monthly income immediately prior to total disability commencing. Recurrent disability benefit Rehabilitation expenses benefit Waiver of premiums Workplace modification* If you were paid a SCI benefit and your disability from the same or a related illness or injury recurs within six months of your return to full time work, your waiting period will be waived and your disability will be treated as a continuation of the original disability. Benefits will be payable for up to the remainder of the to age 65 benefit period while you remain disabled. Whilst you are suffering a disability the Insurer will reimburse you where you incur expenses as a result of your participation in a rehabilitation program, to help you return to work. The maximum amount reimbursed is equal to 24 months times your monthly benefit. The Insurer must approve the rehabilitation program in writing prior to commencement. Your doctor must also approve the rehabilitation program. Your premiums will be waived while you are in receipt of a SCI benefit. Payable for the purposes of modifying your workplace to facilitate your return to work. This benefit is limited to a maximum amount of two and a half times your monthly benefit. * This benefit is payable at the Insurer s discretion, you must be in receipt of a SCI benefit at the time and generally the expense must be approved by the Insurer prior to it occurring (with the exception of the emergency transport benefit). Please contact us on 1300 55 7586, if you wish to obtain a copy of the insurance policy. 10

We will advise you if health evidence is required. This may be in the form of a personal medical statement and/or various medical examinations as required. The Insurer may decline or place conditions or restrictions on your insurance cover as a result of this medical evidence.

Automatic transfer of cover when you join the Plum Personal Plan Once your employer tells us you re no longer their employee, we ll transfer your account to the Plum Personal Plan, together with your standard and any voluntary cover. We will transfer the exact amount of cover that you hold at the time you leave your employer and it will remain a fixed dollar amount in the Plum Personal Plan. You can change these amounts at any time. For SCI cover, a 90 day waiting period and a maximum 2 year benefit payment period applies in the Plum Personal Plan. This may be different to the waiting periods and benefit payment periods that apply to SCI cover in the Plan. Please refer to the Plum Personal Plan, section for more information. In order to continue your death, TPD and SCI cover in the Plum Personal Plan, you must ensure the following are applicable: you are under age 65 you are a permanent resident of Australia you have not ceased employment with your employer for reasons of disablement or ill health you have not commenced duty in the armed forces of any country (not including the Australian Army Reserve), and for SCI cover, your employment did not cease due to illness or injury. Cover will be subject to the terms, conditions and premiums applicable to the Plum Personal Plan and any special terms and conditions applying to your cover will be transferred with your insurance cover. You should read the important information about continuing your cover and insurance premiums in the Insurance Guide for the Plum Personal Plan. Further information about continuing your cover can be found in materials which will be supplied to you at the time you leave your employer. 2. You can continue your SCI cover under a personal policy with the Insurer If you are under 60 years of age at the date you transfer your SCI cover, you may without providing health evidence, transfer it into a retail insurance policy held directly with the Insurer (this option expires 60 days from when you cease employment with Findex). The terms and conditions of the SCI continuation option requires that you commence permanent employment for a minimum number of hours per week within a 90 day period of terminating employment with Findex and that your employment did not cease due to illness or injury. The SCI continuation option does not apply if you choose to leave the Plan but there is no change to your employment. Should you wish to discuss your SCI cover, please contact us on 1300 55 7586. You should notify us of your intention to take up a SCI continuation option at least 10 days prior to the continuation option expiry date to ensure there is sufficient time for communication with the Insurer. Further information about continuing your cover can be found in materials, which will be supplied to you at the time you leave your employer. 12
