Long serving CEO to leave Tasplan Super in a strong position

The Chair and Board of Tasplan Super have paid tribute to long serving Chief Executive Officer, Neil
Cassidy who has announced he is stepping aside from his role as Chief Executive Officer in the lead
up to the merger with Quadrant Super.

Tasplan Chair, Naomi Edwards said Mr Cassidy was instrumental in the creation of Tasplan in 1987
when he was seconded from National Mutual under a two year agreement to set up the super fund.

“Neil then returned to the organisation in 1998 when he was appointed Chief Executive Officer and
has helped make Tasplan Super the leading industry super fund in Tasmania,” Ms Edwards said.

In November last year Tasplan announced it would be merging with Quadrant Super to create a
super fund with some 110,000 members, managing over $3 billion of members’ retirement savings
and serving more than 15,000 employers.

Quadrant CEO Wayne Davy has been appointed head of Tasplan Super, with Mr Cassidy officially
finishing with the Tasmanian superannuation fund when the merged entity is created in November
2015.

Ms Edwards said on behalf of the Board of Tasplan Super “I would like to thank Neil for his tireless
service to our super fund and its members.”

“Neil has always been passionate about working for the best interests of Tasplan members and I
know members will join with me in wishing him all the best,” Ms Edwards said.

Mr Cassidy said while he was sad to leave Tasplan after nearly 24 years of involvement, he was
excited about pursing new opportunities.

“I’ve enjoyed my time with Tasplan and with over 40 years’ experience in the industry I still have a
lot to give, so I am looking forward to what the future holds,” Mr Cassidy said.

“I wish Tasplan all the best for the future and I know it will be in safe hands.”

Mr Cassidy is a Member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and a Fellow of both the
Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia as well as the Australian Institute of
Superannuation Trustees.
