Your Credit Union. Your Vote. Our Shared Future.

At Tandia, you are more than a member - you’re an owner. One of the core principles of our credit union is that ownership comes with a voice. As a Tandia member and shareholder, you have the right to participate in important decisions that shape our future. We encourage all members to make their voice heard by casting their vote for each share class they hold.

You’ve helped us get here. Now, help us decide where we go next. Details on voting for each share type are outlined below.

Your path to an informed decision:
 
Start with the comprehensive Member Guide for a complete overview of our proposed merger.

For more details, you can also reference the Supplemental Information Package (SIP).

Members can request the Purchase and Assumption Agreement in-branch or by emailing TogetherWeGrow@tandia.com.

Every member has member shares, and some members also hold profit shares and investment shares. These shares represent your investment in our credit union, and your commitment has helped us grow, strengthen our communities, and invest in better services for you and all of our members.

As a Tandia member, your voice matters. We are asking you to help decide our next chapter by voting on the special resolutions to be considered by Tandia members, as described in the Supplemental Information Package (the “Member Share Vote”). Each member is entitled to one vote in the Member Share Vote. 

Tandia’s members may cast their votes between November 14th and November 28th. Voting is quick, easy, and secure through Tandia’s online banking and mobile app, or votes may be submitted in person at your local branch. To cast your vote online, simply log in, go to the “Voting Tab”, and cast your vote.  The Member Share Vote is separate from any voting rights you may have as a holder of investment shares or profit shares. 

For the proposed transaction to proceed, at least 2/3 of all voting members must cast their vote in favour of the Special Resolutions, which means your participation is essential. 

Every single vote counts toward shaping our shared future, so be sure to log in during the voting period to have your say. 

 

The vote of the investment shareholders (the “Investment Share Vote”) is a weighted vote, meaning the number of votes you have corresponds to the number of investment shares you hold. As a Tandia investment shareholder, you have one vote for each investment share you own. For example, if you own 100 investment shares, you are entitled to 100 votes.

Investment shareholders will have the opportunity to cast their vote in person at a Special Meeting held at Tandia’s Corporate Office in Burlington on December 2nd, 2025, at 7:15 pm.

The results of the Investment Share Vote are measured solely against this share class and are not combined with the Member Share Vote or the vote of the profit shareholders. For the proposed transaction to proceed, at least 2/3 of all investment share votes cast must be in favour of the Special Resolutions.

To ensure everyone has the chance to participate, we encourage shareholders to submit a proxy form in advance of the meeting, between November 3rd and December 1st at 9 am. A proxy form allows you to provide a Tandia Official (our CEO) with the authority to vote on your behalf at the Special Meeting. This process allows shareholders to still vote, even when they cannot attend the meeting. Tandia staff can guide you through this easy electronic proxy voting process. Alternatively, you can also submit your proxy form at your local Tandia branch.

Similar to the investment shares, the vote of Tandia’s profit shareholders (the “Profit Share Vote”) is a weighted vote, meaning your voting corresponds to the number of profit shares you hold. As a Tandia profit shareholder, you have one vote for each profit share you own. For example, if you own 100 profit shares, you are entitled to 100 votes.

Profit shareholders along with investment shareholders will have the opportunity to cast their vote in person at the Special Meeting held at Tandia’s Corporate Office in Burlington on December 2nd, 2025, at 7:15 pm.

The results of the Profit Share Vote are measured solely against this share class and are not combined with the Member Share Vote or Investment Share Vote. For the proposed transaction to proceed, at least 2/3 of all profit share votes cast must be in favour of the Special Resolutions.

To ensure everyone has the chance to participate, we encourage shareholders to submit a proxy form in advance of the meeting, between November 3rd and December 1st at 9 am. A proxy form allows you to provide a Tandia Official (our CEO) with the authority to vote on your behalf at the Special Meeting. This process allows shareholders to still vote, even when they cannot attend the meeting. Tandia staff can guide you through this easy electronic proxy voting process. Alternatively, you can also submit your proxy form at your local Tandia branch.
