HELD APRIL 8, 2014 The fifty-third Annual Meeting of Dutch Point Credit Union was held Tuesday, April 8, 2014. The Chairman of the Board, Michael W. Dwyer, called the meeting to order at 7:25 p.m. in the Cafeteria of the Northeast Utilities Building in Berlin. Directors Present: A. DeFrance, R. DeRoehn, R. Deslippe, M. Dwyer, S. Miller, F. Proto, and R. Zajack Directors Absent: J. Gombotz and D. Sullivan Also Present: M. Curtin, Supervisory Committee Member T . Tuell, Supervisory Committee Member Mr. Dwyer welcomed the members. Before we begin the meeting I would like to take a moment to honor the memory of a former Director whom we lost this past year. John Childs, better known to all of us as “Jack”, passed away. Jack served for over 32 years as a dedicated and loyal member of our Board. He will always be remembered for his humor and his total dedication to the credit union and its members. My fellow Directors and I will be forever grateful for having had the opportunity to serve with Jack. Mr. Dwyer then introduced the Board and Committee members. He advised that Dorothy Sullivan, Director and Secretary of the Board, and John Gombotz, Vice Chairman, were unable to attend. In the absence of Miss Sullivan, Mr. Dwyer appointed Mr. Francis Proto as Acting Secretary. Mr. Dwyer asked the Chairman of the Credentials Committee for the initial report. Mr. Anthony Sacchetti, Credentials Committee Chairman, reported there were 66 voting members present. Mr. Dwyer appointed Elizabeth Mumford as Recording Secretary for the Annual Meeting. A quorum was ascertained and the meeting declared legal. Mr. Dwyer noted that the Minutes of the 2013 Annual Meeting are printed in the Annual Meeting Report. Mr. Dwyer asked if there were any omissions or corrections. There being none, the Minutes were approved as submitted. Mr. Dwyer presented the 2013 Membership Report. I am pleased to report that in 2013 we reached a significant milestone when our assets surpassed $200 million for the first time in our history. At year end, our assets were $227.2 million. Over the years opportunities have presented themselves for the betterment of our membership. In 2013 the Capitol Region Federal Credit Union Board of Directors adopted a resolution to merge into Dutch Point Credit Union. A special meeting was then held with their membership, who overwhelmingly voted in favor of the merger. On October 26th, Capitol Region Federal Credit Union, with assets of $30 million and over 5,000 members, merged into Dutch Point Credit Union. With this merger, we acquired 2 of the three CRFCU branches - Bloomfield and West Hartford as well as their nine employees. The integration of two companies can pose many challenges; in our case, the merger was completed successfully and on time. Social media has become a big part of today’s communications, from connecting with friends and family to sharing feelings, expressing creativity, and so much more. It is also a communication tool for businesses to reach and connect with people. Dutch Point is now connected on Facebook and Twitter. We are communicating news and updates through these two social 1 media forums. Please, when you get a chance, “like us” on Facebook and “follow us” on Twitter@DutchPointCU. We also brought some exciting enhancements to our product offerings in 2013. Mobile Remote Deposit Capture was launched. Members can now take a picture of their check with a smart phone and remotely deposit the funds directly into their account. Our Visa program was enhanced -- members can now log in to their Visa account and pay their bills from other financial institutions. This service was requested by our members for a number of years, and now your credit union has made this a reality. Touching the life of a Special Olympian, or seeing the smile of a young student learning to read their first book are just some of the ways we try to assist in our communities. The employees of Dutch Point have gone above and beyond volunteering and contributing to the charities we support. Also, I want to say a special “thank you” to all those members who joined us in our efforts to support our fund raising initiatives. In reflecting back over the years, what we are especially proud of is found in the lives of our members. It was rewarding to see that our mission of “improving members’ financial well-being through financial solutions and education” was alive and well. A high school graduate who was able to buy their first car because of a low-rate loan with Dutch Point. A family facing hard times who was able to refinance their loans to make payments more manageable. A father setting up a youth savings account for his firstborn or a couple getting a good night’s sleep after establishing retirement plans. These are huge accomplishments for our members and we are pleased that they have selected Dutch Point for these needs. We recognize that your choosing Dutch Point represents the confidence and trust you have in us. We are dedicated to this and your Board of Directors, management and staff will continue to work hard for you. Thank you for your loyalty and support and being a part of the Dutch Point family. The Chairman asked for a motion to accept the 2013 Membership Report. A motion was made from the floor and seconded. There being no objections the motion passed unanimously. The Chairman asked the Treasurer, Mr. August DeFrance, to present his report to the membership. Dutch Point Credit Union is pleased to report that 2013 was an exciting and successful year, highlighted by continued strong financial performance. Overall, the credit union assets increased in 2013 by 17% to just over $227 million. What fueled our overall asset growth was the merger of Capitol Region Federal Credit Union into Dutch Point. We acquired their assets which were slightly over $30 million. Consumer demand for personal and auto loans was strong, and the mortgage loan refinance market continued to be robust as interest rates remained low. The loan portfolio increased by nearly $6 million or roughly 6%, which is above the industry average. Additionally, the credit union acquired over $11 million in loans from the merger. The credit union earnings were positively impacted by the merger. Net Income for 2013 was just over $2 million, representing a Return on Assets of approximately 1%. The quality of the credit union’s assets remains high. This is based on the most recent State of Connecticut Department of Banking examination, which measures the safety and soundness of your credit union. Additionally, the credit union’s financial performance continues to be recognized on a national level. This recognition comes from earning a Five-Star rating from Bauer Financial, Inc., which is their highest available rating. The primary indicator of the safety and soundness of the credit union is its ratio of capital to assets. Dutch Point Credit Union is very proud to continue to demonstrate financial strength with its regulatory capital to asset ratio at 10.86% as of December 31, 2013. This ratio is well above the regulatory threshold of 7% established by the NCUA and is the benchmark for a wellcapitalized credit union. As we look to the future, I want to assure you, our members, that Dutch Point Credit Union is financially strong and healthy and is ready to take on the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. We will continue to look at new product features and services to enhance the financial picture of the credit union and look for opportunities that will afford the entire membership greater benefits for the future. We want to thank you, our member-owners, for your continued support. We truly appreciate and value your loyalty to Dutch Point Credit Union. The Chairman asked for a motion to accept the Treasurer’s Report. 2 A motion was made from the floor and seconded. There being no objections the motion passed unanimously. The Chairman then asked for a motion to have the report of the Supervisory Committee accepted as printed in the Annual Report of 2013. A motion was made from the floor and seconded. There being no objections the motion passed unanimously. Mr. Dwyer then called for a report from the Nominating Committee Chairman, Mr. Michael Curtin. Mr. Curtin presented the following nominees for vacancies on the Board of Directors for a three-year term: Mr. Michael W. Dwyer Mr. Roland Deslippe Mr. John L. Gombotz Mr. Curtin stated that these nominees are dedicated and committed to the credit union membership and the Nominating Committee recommends these individuals to serve on the DPCU Board. This concluded the Nominating Committee Report. Mr. Dwyer then asked Mr. Proto, Acting Secretary, if there was a petition vote. Mr. Proto advised there was none. The Chairman then advised that the nominations be closed. He instructed Mr. Proto to cast one vote for each of the nominees and stated they are then duly elected. Mr. Dwyer called for any unfinished business and there was none. Mr. Dwyer called for any new business and there was none. The Chairman asked for a final count from the Credentials Committee Chairman. Mr. Sacchetti advised 66 voting members are present. Mr. Dwyer then presented some highlights for 2014. In 2014 we are planning to hold several events for our members. Currently, we have a CreditAbility Seminar scheduled for Tuesday evening, April 22nd from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Bloomfield Board of Education. For more information on this seminar, please see our events calendar. We also have a Free Shred Day scheduled for Saturday, May 3rd at our Newington Branch. Both of these events are open to the community so we encourage you to tell your family and friends about them. Our DJS Scholarship program is now in its 7th year, and there is still time for students to send in their scholarship application -- the deadline is April 30th. If you know of a graduating high school student who will be attending college this fall, let them know they still have time to apply for our DJS Scholarship. Complete details on the scholarship are available online. We also have printed Scholarship Applications in the back if you would like to take one. Something new for us in 2014 is the roll-out of our member survey. In order to better serve our members we will be conducting periodic surveys. The surveys can be taken online or by hand. Simply visit our website and click on the survey link, or you can contact any branch and ask for a survey to be mailed to you. So, when you get a chance, please take our survey and provide us with your feedback. Many of you know that we partner with other companies to provide you with additional benefits. At this time I would like to acknowledge a few of these companies who are here with us tonight: Steve Burlingame from Liberty Mutual Insurance, Dan Winick from Enterprise Car Sales, and Mike Savenelli from Better Credit Ideas. 3 We thank our members for taking advantage of all our promotions and services and are always looking to the future to provide new services that will enhance our members’ financial well-being. We encourage you to tell your family and friends about credit union membership so they, too, can enjoy the benefits Dutch Point offers. Now, to get to what you have all been waiting for – the Raffle. We will conduct two raffles, one for the voting members and one for the non-voting members, children under age 16. Mr. Dwyer wished everyone “good luck” and asked Mr. Proto to come forward to draw the first raffle ticket for the voting members. There were 12 voting members who won raffle prizes. Mr. Dwyer then held the raffle for the non-voting members. There were 18 non-voting members who won raffle prizes. Mr. Dwyer conducted the drawing for the two floral arrangements at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Dwyer introduced to the members the Dutch Point Credit Union staff working at the Annual Meeting. He stated that these are the individuals who help make the Annual Meeting a success. Mr. Dwyer also thanked Francis Proto, President and CEO, and his Executive Team for all of their hard work during the year, which has continued to make Dutch Point a financially safe and sound credit union. The members were invited to have refreshments. Mr. Dwyer, on behalf of the Board of Directors and Committee members, thanked the members for attending the meeting. There being no further business, the Chairman asked for a motion to adjourn. A motion was made from the floor and seconded. There being no objections the motion passed unanimously and the meeting adjourned at 8:02 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Francis R.N. Proto Acting Secretary Michael W.

In 2014, you provided us with feedback from our member surveys, telling us what you want from your credit union. You were fair and honest with your responses and, based on your feedback, we were able to launch a number of initiatives during 2014. The following are a direct result from your input: • • • • Not all members are the same, and not all members have the same financial needs or goals; therefore, it is important that we help our members wherever they are in life. It could be saving money on their car loan payments, getting their first mortgage, improving their credit score, saving enough money for a child’s education, or their own retirement. Whatever that individual goal or need may be, members can look to us for assistance. During 2014 many members took advantage of credit union promotions -- our auto loan refinance program that saved them a significant amount of money on their car loans, a $300 “thank you” Visa Gift card for members that took a mortgage with us, and our Personalized Credit Check Up program that assisted members in getting back on track with their finances as well as helping them manage their debt. We had a Super Loan Sweepstakes where all members received a cash bonus for auto, personal, or home equity loans and were entered into a sweepstakes to win great prizes. Our Bloomfield community branch is now open to conduct business on Saturday mornings. Our surcharge-free ATM network expanded to include all Rite Aid pharmacies in Connecticut. We upgraded the phone system with more concise menu options. We implemented instant issue debit cards at our Wethersfield Branch. You have choices for where you do your banking and we will continue to work hard to earn your business and learn from you what it is you want from your credit union. As we look to the future, we know only one thing – It’s your credit union and it’s all about you. We are working diligently to keep your credit union moving forward in order to meet your ever-changing needs. Thank you for your ongoing trust in Dutch Point Credit Union. We value your membership and look forward to remaining your financial partner now and into the future. As a direct result of the confidence you place in us, Dutch Point was the recipient of three prestigious accolades: we received the 2014 Wethersfield Business of the Year award, we were recognized by Bauer Financial as a FiveStar financial institution, and for the first time in our history, Dutch Point was rated in the Top 200 of the Healthiest Credit Unions in the Country. This is a tremendous achievement for your credit union. These awards reflect the hard work from your Board of Directors and staff. Respectfully submitted, Michael W.
