FINAL NOTICE

ACTION

1.
For the reasons set out in this Final Notice, the Financial Services Authority (the
“FSA”) hereby takes the following action against Pallister Credit Union Limited
(“Pallister”).

2.
The FSA gave Pallister a Decision Notice on 12 December 2012 (the "Decision
Notice") which notified Pallister that for the reasons listed below and pursuant to
section 45 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "Act"), the FSA had
decided to cancel the permission granted to Pallister under Part IV of the Act
(“Pallister’s Part IV permission”).

3.
Pallister has not referred the matter to the Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery
Chamber) within 28 days of the date on which the Decision Notice was given to it.

4.
Accordingly, the FSA has today cancelled Pallister’s Part IV permission.

REASONS FOR ACTION

5.
By a First Supervisory Notice dated 9 March 2012, the FSA varied Pallister’s Part IV
permission including the removal of its sole regulated activity of accepting deposits,
with immediate effect.

6.
Section 45(3) of the Act requires that, if, as a result of a variation of a Part IV
permission under section 45, there are no longer any regulated activities for which the
authorised person concerned has permission, the FSA must, once it is satisfied that it
is no longer necessary to keep the permission in force, cancel it.

7.
The FSA is so satisfied and accordingly has a duty to cancel Pallister’s Part IV
permission.

The decision which gave rise to the obligation to issue this Final Notice was taken by
the Regulatory Decisions Committee.
