2013 Operating Units Bundling (Merger) Update
3
2013 Operating Units What is “bundling” “Bundling” refers to the recreational facilities within a community being owned and operated by the POA A Merger is the legal process of combining two Associations into one. In our case, Quail Ridge Country Club Inc. would merge with Quail Ridge Property Owners Inc.. The new entity will operate as one with a combined Board to be established as part of the merger. Quail Ridge Condominium Association would continue to exist for Local Area Governance
4
History Quail Ridge was originally designed as a Mandatory Membership club and community with two separate entities (Club and POA) Once the Club and Community was turned over to the members by the developer, the residential unit owners became the owners of Quail Ridge The unit owners delegated the management of the entities to Boards of these separate, independent corporations
5
We operate like a Bundled community without any of the benefits!
History In 1991 the Boards realized that the divided governance and management resulted in conflict and created the Coordinating committee and a single management team Through Joint Organizational order #1 In 1998, both Boards adopted Joint Organizational order #3 further outlining and defining the role of the Coordinating committee Effectively the Coordinating committee which consists of the four officers from each entity manage the community for at least six months out of each year We operate like a Bundled community without any of the benefits!

All other categories may upgrade at any time from one category to another subject to availability and payment of applicable fees. Dues will be prorated for the year of any upgrade and all subsequent years will be billed at the new category rate

Proposed Membership Options
Downgrading At the inception, current Members may downgrade one or two classes based on availability Upon successful completion of a Merger vote, Members will receive an “Expression of Interest” form to indicate their category of choice by June 30th 2019 Priority for downgrades will be based on the owners original joining date After the initial cap is full, all downgrades will be based upon availability. The Board will have the ability to modify caps based on the economic needs of the club and market conditions

Streamlining our Operating and Reporting Structure
Creates a single consolidated financial reporting structure for month and year end Elimination of one audit and related tax returns Consolidation of Checking accounts and elimination of dual checks from both entities to one vendor Improves our billing and collection process
18
Consolidate our Capital needs
Currently all new property owners are required to pay two forms of Initiation fees (Club and POA) Both entities also budget separately for their annual Capital needs We anticipate moving to a single price Initiation fee that would include the Club and POA The merged entity will be able to plan effectively for our entire community from one source of funds This will create a balanced approach to planning capital for the recreational amenities and infrastructure needs
19
economic benefits associated with a merger
2013 Operating Units economic benefits associated with a merger The potential tax benefit is that all members currently pay sales tax on all of their club dues. In a merged community where the club facilities are owned by the POA, unit owners are exempt from sales tax on the lowest level of membership required in the recreational amenities The respective boards forecast savings and have redirected the related funds to membership plan implementation, debt reduction or future capital needs in the financial modeling
