Mutual Trust MEDIA RELEASE – 31 July, 2017 Mutual Trust Pty Ltd (Mutual Trust) and Myer Family Investments Pty Ltd (MFI) announced today that, with due diligence complete, the agreement to combine Mutual Trust and the Myer Family Company (MFCo) is now conditional only on regulatory approvals. The respective businesses of Mutual Trust Pty Ltd (MT) and The Myer Family Company Ltd (MFCo) are highly complementary and share a strong and proud heritage. A combination of both businesses: • creates Australia’s pre-eminent inter-generational wealth manager for families, trusts and charitable organisations and a leader in the provision of wealth management and taxation advice and support to individuals and organisations with fiduciary responsibility for managing significant pools of private capital. • strengthens the overall service offering through depth of technical expertise, the brightest ideas from each organisation and adoption of best-of-breed practices. Mr Phil Harkness has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Mutual Trust and CEO-elect of the enlarged group. Pending completion, Phil will be actively involved in the affairs of both businesses. Phil brings significant experience and capability to the role, most recently as Partner at Ernst and Young, where he led the Strategy Practice for Oceania and Asia Pacific. Previously, he led the Performance Improvement Practice within EY Advisory, and prior to that he was Vice President for AT Kearney for 11 years. Phil’s outstanding track record of client service and leadership will prove highly valuable as the enlarged Mutual Trust embarks on this exciting new phase. Phil’s bio is attached. Current Mutual Trust CEO, Tim Hammon, has previously announced his retirement from that position and will continue as a consultant to the Company. Assuming all conditions are satisfied, current MFCo CEO, Danielle Press, will leave the Company after assisting with a smooth transition over the coming weeks and months. Consistent with the previously announced Heads of Agreement, existing Mutual Trust shareholders will own 65% of the expanded Mutual Trust. MFI will own 35% and become Mutual Trusts largest single shareholder. The enlarged group will trade under the name Mutual Trust. The existing Mutual Trust Board of six non-executive directors will be expanded by the appointment of MFI nominees Sidney Myer, Rupert Myer and John Russell. Gordon Dickinson will continue as Chairman. Gordon Dickinson, Chairman of Mutual Trust, said: “Mutual Trust and MFCo both have focused on helping families with the challenges of managing wealth and their financial affairs across generations. As a combined entity, client experience will be enhanced and the financial strength of the combined business will benefit all stakeholders” Sidney Myer AM, Chairman of Myer Family Investments, said: “Myer Family Investments is delighted that the union of MFCo and Mutual Trust has reached this important milestone. MFI, and the Myer family, are very proud of the way MFCo has developed as a leader in the family office business over the last 25 years. Further, we are proud of the contribution that the MFCo team, past and present, have made to position the business for the future. The future looks exciting. The due diligence process has confirmed a strong alignment between our organisations and the prospect of a unique and compelling offer for clients. We look forward to working with Phil Harkness as he leads the enlarged Mutual Trust to deliver on this vision” Phil Harkness, CEO of Mutual Trust, said: “It is a very exciting time to be creating what is the clear leader in an ever increasingly complex industry. The combination of these two 80 plus year old firms will offer a deeper and broader range of very personalised services to our existing and future clients. It is a privilege to be at the helm”. ---------------- Enquiries: Mutual Trust: Phil Harkness 0418 995 038 Myer Family Investments: John Russell 03 9207 3022 About Mutual Trust Mutual Trust is a privately owned multifamily office with offices in Melbourne and Sydney.

It was founded by the Presbyterian Church of Queensland in 1911 with the first students taking up residence in Wickham Terrace in 1912. As the Presbyterian Church moved towards partnership with other religious denominations during the 1970s, Emmanuel College also came under the auspices of the Uniting Church. Upon its inauguration, Emmanuel College was an all male residence but this changed in 1975 when women were admitted as collegians. Now, the College numbers around 340 students with half our population being female. Further change was experienced by the College when it moved in 1956 from its original site in Wickham Terrace to its present location on the main university campus in St Lucia. Since 1911, Emmanuel has stood for excellence in all round education and has had seven Rhodes Scholars during its history. Its graduates have gone on to make a major contribution to Australia in many areas, including as doctors, scientists, teachers, engineers, lawyers and judges, politicians, ambassadors and diplomats, and church leaders. Emmanuel College INTRODUCTION BY EMMANUEL COLLEGE PRINCIPAL, ADJUNCT PROFESSOR STEWART GILL Philanthropy is defined as being “the desire to promote the welfare of others, expressed especially by the generous donation of money to good causes”. As an institution founded and supported by philanthropy, Emmanuel College is seeking to promote through this series of annual lectures the importance of Philanthropy in Education.

They are both managed by the same team and have separate but complementary philanthropic programs and activities. Sidney Myer, a generous philanthropist in his lifetime, left a portion of his estate upon his death in 1934 to be invested for the benefit of the community in which he made his fortune. That act created the Sidney Myer Fund which will exist in perpetuity. The income of the Fund is distributed annually. The Myer Foundation was established in 1959 by Sidney Myer’s sons, the late Kenneth Myer AC DSC, and Baillieu Myer AC, as a way to support initiatives and new opportunities arising from contemporary issues. The Myer Foundation was endowed through Kenneth Myer’s estate following his death in 1992. The Sidney Myer Fund and The Myer Foundation continue the legacy of Myer family generosity, through members of four succeeding generations of the Myer family, who give in many ways, to make significant and lasting contributions to our society. 3 How to Read this Report The FY19 Annual Report is organised Each pillar of the strategy features in a double page spread in this report.

  • Rupert Myer: the Rising Tide of Philanthropy by Nicole Richards September 24, 2014
    Rupert Myer: The rising tide of philanthropy by Nicole Richards September 24, 2014 www.generositymag.com.au “There are a number of very wealthy, self-made, successful entrepreneurs who are bursting their boiler to create an adjacency with a thoughtful cultural organisation,” says Rupert Myer. “Too many arts organisations are missing this fact.” A luminary of the Australian philanthropic scene, Rupert Myer AM has been an active and devoted supporter of the arts for decades. He has held roles across Australia’s largest arts institutions, chaired the Commonwealth Inquiry into the Contemporary Visual Arts and Craft Sector, and currently sits on nine boards as well as serving as Chair of the Australia Council for the Arts. Myer’s deep philanthropic roots are, of course, steeped in a family history that was shaped by the legendary generosity of his grandfather, Sidney Myer. Though he grew up surrounded by the business of philanthropy, Myer says there was an understanding that merely carrying the family name did not make you a philanthropist. “All the family were invited to participate in the administration of the Myer Foundation and the Sidney Myer Fund,” he says. “We were very mindful of the fact that our involvement didn’t, in turn, make us philanthropists – we were administering someone else’s philanthropic act, be it that of my grandfather or my uncle or my father. Administering someone else’s philanthropic act doesn’t allow you to wear the shingle.” “But having had the exposure to the various organisations that have the support of the Foundation and Fund, I recognised that I had some capacity to become directly involved with my interest being in the arts, youth unemployment and indigenous affairs.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, significant acts of philanthropy ensured that the great Australian art museums and universities built with significant public funds were able, with the support of private funds, to assemble significant collections, promote cultural learning and participation and create opportunities for international engagement. In recent decades, government policy settings and a new level of philanthropic participation have created sophisticated government-private partnership models for arts funding. Drawing on his personal involvement with some of the nation’s leading art galleries and cultural organisations, and now as Chairman of the Commonwealth Government’s Australia Council for the Arts, Rupert Myer’s remarks will describe some characteristics of the Australian system of co-mingling government and private support for the arts and discuss opportunities for the future. 10:15am – 10:45am Fiammetta Rocco Literary Editor, The Economist, London Bring on the Culture Vultures Attractive cities, according to McKinsey, need great transport links and lots of immigrants to bring in new energy and ideas.
