Subscription Shares

A subscription share is an investment certificate which carries a future face value. It is paid for
by installments over a period of time. Once held, the subscription share entitles the person to be a
member of the Association.

cater for children education, down payment for a house or a car, gift for someone special, to
liquidate future commitments, medical savings plan, supplemental pension savings, sinking fund
for future payments, or just to diversify your investment portfolio and many other reasons.

Subscription Shares are paid for monthly, quarterly or half-yearly in advance within each cycle –
January to June and July to December. Payments can be made by cash, cheque, post dated
cheque, salary deduction, banker’s standing order, internal standing order or Linx.

Once declared, dividends will be credited to shareholders unmature subscription share account
on the 30th June and on the 31st December each year. Dividends are calculated on shareholders
average balance during each payment cycle.

The Board will determine at any time when to issue Subscription Shares. By filling a share
application form, persons can subscribe for subscription shares.

The Board will determine the limit or maximum number of Subscription Shares any one person
or institution can purchase.

Certificates for the number of shares held/purchased by a person or institution will be issued
under the Seal of the Association.

Statements are issued twice per year – in January and July so that shareholders can update their
personal records with dividends credited.

Subscription Shares will mature when the credit to the share account reaches the face value
amount – that is, when the account balance for each share reaches $2,500, $5,000 or any other
face value as determine by the Board. Monthly, quarterly or half-yearly payments toward
subscription shares together with compounded dividends twice per year will contribute to the
maturity face value.
