Company Announcements Australian Securities Exchange 20 Bridge Street

Sydney

Fellow shareholders,

As you would know, eChoice shareholders approved the delisting proposal at a general meeting on 16 June 2016 and the Australian Securities Exchange recently agreed to the proposed delisting timetable.

Your Board took the view, strongly supported by shareholders, that the benefits of an ASX listing were outweighed by the ongoing costs of listing and the limitations on the company's ability to grow and restructure.

Business Update

Before I outline some important information regarding the future of your shareholding, let me briefly reiterate the positive outlook for the company. eChoice's core business is sound and producing positive cash earnings. Further, our business strategy is the right one to maximise the future growth of the business.

We have built the industry's leading digital platform for the marketing and distribution of mortgages and related financial products. We have a strong and engaged network of mortgage brokers and an unrivalled system for digital lead generation of new mortgages and ongoing client support and sales.

Supporting this are our valuable referral partnerships with major online brands, particularly Fairfax's Domain, and other leading providers of financial products and services.

Delisting Process

In accordance with the delisting timetable set out in the notice of meeting and now approved by the ASX, eChoice shares will be suspended from trading on Tuesday, 9 August 2016. Seven days later, the company will formally delist on Tuesday 16 August 2016.

You may continue to trade your eChoice shares on the ASX until the close of trading on 9 August 2016, subject to the available market liquidity.

Shareholders on the register on the delisting date of 16 August 2016 will keep their shares and remain shareholders in the public, unlisted company eChoice Limited.

These shareholders will continue to receive disclosures by the company, including its annual financial results, and will receive an invitation to attend the company's Annual General Meeting, at which they have the right to vote.

I have included with this letter Shareholder's Reference Guide which sets out some relevant information for shareholders who remain on the register after delisting date. On behalf of the Board, thank you for your continuing support of the company.

We are confident that eChoice has a strong future and look forward to working for those shareholders who continue with us on the journey ahead.

Sincerely,
