Determination of entitlement to attend and vote

In accordance with section 1074E(2)(g)(i) of the Corporations Act and regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations , the Company has determined that for the purposes of the meeting all Shares will be taken to be held by the registered holders at 7pm Sydney time on 9 November 2015. Accordingly, Share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the meeting.

Proxies

If you are a Shareholder entitled to attend and vote, you have the right to appoint up to 2 proxies. If you are entitled to cast 2 or more votes and 2 proxies are appointed, you may specify the number or proportion of votes that each may exercise, failing which each may exercise half of the votes. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of the Company.

If you want to appoint 1 proxy, you can use the form provided. If you want to appoint 2 proxies, please follow the instructions on the proxy form.

The Company’s Constitution provides that on a show of hands, every person present and entitled to vote has 1 vote.

If you appoint a proxy who is also a Shareholder or is also a proxy for another Shareholder, your directions may not be effective on a show of hands. Your directions will be effective if a poll is taken on the relevant Resolution.

If you sign and return a proxy form and do not nominate a person to act as your proxy, the Chair will be appointed as your proxy by default.

Proxy voting by Key Management Personnel

Due to the voting exclusions and requirements referred to in the Notice of Meeting, if you intend to appoint any Director or Key Management Personnel or their Closely Related Parties, other than the Chair, as your proxy, you should direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 3 (Adoption of Remuneration Report) by marking either “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on the proxy form for the relevant item of business. If you do not direct such a proxy how to vote on those Resolutions they will not be able to vote an undirected proxy and your vote will not be counted. This does not apply to the Chair, who is able to vote undirected proxies.

How the Chair will vote undirected proxies

The Chair intends to vote any undirected proxy in favour of all resolutions

The Chair intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of all resolutions including Resolution 3 (Adoption of Remuneration Report). You should note that if you appoint the Chair as your proxy, or the Chair is appointed your proxy by default, you will be taken to authorise the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

If you wish, you can appoint the Chair as your proxy and direct the Chair to cast your votes contrary to the above stated voting intention or to abstain from voting on a Resolution. Simply mark your voting directions on the proxy form before you return it.

  • the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described in (a) or (b) above.

Recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

RESOLUTION 4: REFRESH APPROVAL OF THE CLEARVIEW EXECUTIVE SHARE PLAN (ESP)

Listing Rule 7.1 prevents a listed company from issuing, or agreeing to issue, more than 15% of its issued capital in any rolling 12-month period without the prior approval of Shareholders. However, Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue under an employee incentive scheme if, within 3 years before the date of the issue, Shareholders have approved the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 seeks to exempt the issue of Shares under the ESP from the operation of Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of 3 years from the date that the Resolution is approved. If the Resolution is approved by Shareholders, Shares issued under the ESP during the next 3 years will not be counted in determining the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1.

The ESP was originally approved by Shareholders on 29 January 2007, 7 October 2009, and again on 26 November 2012.

In November 2011, the ESP was extended to allow financial advisers carrying on business as authorised representatives of ClearView Financial Advice Pty Limited (as contractor participants) to participate in the plan and to make non-executive Directors ineligible to participate.

In February 2013, the Board removed the previously stated cap on the issue of Shares under the ESP. While there is no longer a set limit on the number of Shares that may be issued under the ESP, the Board or Board authorised delegates approve the issue of new ESP Shares and monitor the overall quantum of ESP Shares on issue, relative to the interests of existing Shareholders and the overall objectives of the business.

As at 5 October 2015, ClearView has a total of 61,158,120 ESP Shares on issue of which 32,854,246 Shares are held by contractor participants. A total of 27,303,134 have been issued under the ESP since the date of the most recent approval by the Shareholders on 26 November 2012.

The following is a summary of the terms of the ESP. The ESP Rules are available on the Company’s website: www.clearview.com.au under the Shareholders tab.

ClearView Executive Share Plan

Objectives

The ESP was established to assist in the recruitment of the Senior Management Team and employees with deep life insurance and wealth management experience, to execute a core strategy and thereby to show ClearView’s recognition of the employees’

7

contribution, by providing an opportunity to share in the future growth and profitability of ClearView. The ESP aligns the interests of participants more closely with the interests of shareholders including the extension of the ESP to financial advisers in November 2011.

Summary of the terms of the ESP

Eligible Employees

The ESP approved by shareholders at the 2012 Annual General Meeting, allows participation in the Plan of:

  • Employee Participants - These participants are key managers, members of the Senior Management Team and the Managing Director; and

  • Contractor Participants - These participants are financial advisers.

Eligible Employees include both Employee Participants and Contractor Participants of the Company and its related bodies corporate. Non-executive Directors are ineligible to participate in the ESP.

Offer and Consideration

Under the ESP, the Board may invite Eligible Employees to participate in an offer ( Offer ) of fully paid ordinary shares in ClearView, subject to the terms and conditions of the ESP. Each ClearView Share is issued at a price to be determined by the Board prior to making an Offer and this price is set out in the invitation to Eligible Employees. This price may be the market price of a Share (as defined in the ESP Rules) on the date of the invitation. The Board determined in February 2013 that it is appropriate and reasonable for ClearView to adopt the Volume Weighted Average Price ( VWAP ) over a 90-day period to determine the market value of the ClearView Shares for the purposes of ESP issues. This has been implemented for all ESP Share issues since that date. It is the Board’s current intention to continue using the VWAP method to determine the market value of the ClearView Shares for these purposes, however this may differ in the future as the Board determines in its discretion under the ESP Rules.

Restrictions on Offer

Shares may not be offered under the ESP to an Eligible Employee if that Eligible Employee would hold, after the issue of the Shares, an interest in more than 5% of the issued Shares of ClearView or be able to control the voting rights of more than 5% of the votes that might be cast at a general meeting of ClearView.

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the Board has not set a limit on the number of Shares that may be issued under the ESP. The Board or Board authorised delegates approve the issue of

new ESP Shares and monitors the overall quantum of ESP Shares on issue, relative to the interests of existing Shareholders and the overall objectives of the business.

Financial Assistance

The Company may provide financial assistance to an Eligible Employee for the purposes of subscribing for Shares under the ESP. The financial assistance will be a limited recourse loan equal to the purchase value of the Shares and is repayable within 2 months (or a period determined by the Board at its discretion) immediately following the 6th anniversary of the grant of the financial assistance.

The financial assistance will become immediately repayable in the event of certain “disqualifying circumstances” including failure to meet performance or vesting conditions, cessation of the Employee Participant’s employment in circumstances defined in the ESP or termination of the Contractor Participant’s contract with a Group Company for the provision of services. For Employee Participants, the financial assistance is secured over the Shares and rights attached to the Shares.

Rights

Shares issued under the ESP will rank equally with all other issued Shares even if the Shares are subject to a holding lock.

Quotation

The Company will apply to the ASX for official quotation of Shares issued under the ESP.

Restrictions

The Shares granted under the ESP to participants are subject to a holding lock restricting the holder from dealing with the Shares. Where all performance conditions and/or vesting conditions (if any) attaching to the Shares issued prior to 14 February 2013 have been satisfied (or waived) a holding lock will cease to have effect if:

  • the Board accepts a Disposal Request (as defined in the ESP Rules); or

  • 5 years have passed from the Acquisition Date; or

If the Participant:

  • is an Employee Participant, their employment with the Group ceases, or

  • is a Contractor Participant, their contractor agreement is terminated; or

  • the ESP is terminated, or

  • the holding lock period otherwise ceases; provided that the Financial Assistance and any interest that has been accrued have been repaid. For Shares issues from

8

14 February 2013 the holding lock ceases on vesting or forfeiture of Shares. The holding lock is imposed through the share registry and in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules. Participants will not be able to sell their Shares on the ASX or have an off-market transfer registered (and are also otherwise prohibited from dealing in the Shares) while the holding lock is in place. If the participant is a Contractor Participant, following the removal of the holding lock over the Shares of the participant, the participant may not sell, or otherwise deal with, any such Shares without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent the Company may give or withhold in its absolute discretion and which consent may be given subject to conditions.

Eligible Employees are entitled under the ESP to make a Disposal Request provided the performance and vesting conditions have been met (or waived). The holding lock applicable to their ESP Shares will cease to have effect upon the Board (in its absolute discretion) accepting the Disposal Request. ClearView may dispose of these ESP Shares on behalf of the participant in 1 or more of the following ways (at the discretion of the Board):

  • reallocate the Shares to give effect to acquisitions by other Eligible Employees under the ESP;

  • sell to the Company in accordance with buy-back provisions of the Corporations Act ; or

  • offer or sell to buyers on the ASX.

The amount payable by these Eligible Employees to ClearView following such a disposal is the amount outstanding in relation to the financial assistance, including accrued interest.

  • 12 months pass after a Change of Control; or

  • Other circumstances occur which the Board determines in its absolute discretion are analogous to a Control transaction and justify removal of Performance Conditions and/or Vesting Conditions.

“Control” is defined as Crescent Capital Partners and its Associated Entities no longer holding 20% of the voting rights of the Company.

The above provisions concerning change of control apply only to Employee Participants and not Contractor Participants under the ESP.

Administration of the ESP

The ESP is to be administered by the Board. The Board may make rules and regulations for its operation that are consistent with the rules of the ESP. The Company will pay all costs and expenses of operating the ESP. Employees will be liable for any brokerage and tax payable associated with their participation in the ESP.

Amendment of the ESP

Subject to the Listing Rules, the Board may at any time amend any provision of the rules of the ESP.

Termination of the ESP

The Board may resolve at any time to terminate, suspend or reinstate the operation of the ESP.

Recommendation

The Eligible Employees may retain any surplus proceeds.

Change of Control

The Directors unanimously recommend that the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

Under the ESP Rules, all performance and vesting conditions in relation to Shares held by an Eligible Employee who is an Employee Participant are deemed to have been satisfied in the following Change of Control situations unless stated otherwise in the participant’s invitation offer. A Change of Control occurs as defined under the ESP Rules when:

  • (a) Until 14 February 2013:

  • A person who did not Control the Company at the date of issue of the Plan Shares gains Control of the Company (but only if the person is not itself Controlled by another person who Controlled the Company at the date of issue); or

  • Other circumstances occur which the Board determines in its absolute discretion are analogous to a Control transaction and justify removal of Performance Conditions and/or Vesting Conditions,

“Control” is defined as where a person and its related bodies corporate holds more than 50% of the Shares in ClearView.

  • (b) After 14 February 2013:
