1 Chairman’s Letter
1 June 2016
Dear Shareholder,
On behalf of the Board of ClearView Wealth Limited ( ClearView ), I am pleased to invite you to participate in a 1 for 10.2 fully underwritten pro rata accelerated renounceable entitlement offer of new shares in ClearView ( New Shares ) at an offer price of A$0.85 ( Offer Price ) per New Share ( Entitlement Offer ).
Eligible Retail Shareholders (as defined in section 5) are entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share at the Offer Price for every 10.2 existing ordinary shares in ClearView ( Existing Shares ) held at 7:00pm (AEST) on Wednesday, 1 June 2016 ( Record Date ) ( Entitlement ).
Use of Proceeds
A$45.5 million will be used to repay the CBA debt facility and an additional A$4.5 million of the proceeds from the Entitlement Offer will be held as capital for growth.
Entitlement Offer
The Entitlement Offer was announced to the ASX on Monday, 30 May 2016. The Entitlement Offer comprises an institutional component to raise approximately A$34 million ( Institutional Entitlement Offer ), and a retail component to raise approximately A$16 million ( Retail Entitlement Offer ). The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by Morgan Stanley Australia Securities Limited ( Underwriter ) (see section 7.16).
The Institutional Entitlement Offer was successfully completed on Tuesday, 31 May 2016. The raising was strongly supported by existing institutional shareholders, as evidenced by a 100% take-up rate by eligible institutional shareholders.
The Retail Entitlement Offer opens at 9:00am (AEST) Friday, 3 June 2016 and closes at 5:00pm (AEST) on Wednesday, 15 June 2016
As the Retail Entitlement Offer is renounceable, New Shares that are not taken up under the Retail Entitlement Offer will be offered for sale via a bookbuild sale process. Any proceeds of sale in excess of the Issue Price (net of withholding tax) will be paid to renouncing Shareholders. However, you should note that the ability to sell New Shares and obtain a clearing price in the bookbuild that exceeds the Issue Price will be dependent on a number of factors, including market conditions, and no guarantee can be given that a price in excess of the Issue Price will be achieved. Further information regarding this bookbuild process is set out in Section 5.5.

3 Entitlement Offer Overview
Eligible Shareholders are being offered the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 10.2 Existing Shares held at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 1 June 2016, at the Offer Price of $0.85 per New Share.
The Entitlement Offer comprises four parts:
-
The Institutional Entitlement Offer – Eligible Institutional Shareholders were given the opportunity to take up all or part of their Entitlement. Entitlements under the Institutional Entitlement Offer (Institutional Entitlements) were renounceable.
-
The Institutional Bookbuild – Institutional Entitlements not taken up are typically eligible for sale through a bookbuild process. Eligible Institutional Shareholders took up 100% of their available entitlements and thus no Institutional Bookbuild was undertaken.
-
The Retail Entitlement Offer – Eligible Retail Shareholders will be allotted Entitlements under the Retail Entitlement Offer (Retail Entitlement) which can be taken up in whole or in part, or renounced in whole or in part.
-
The Retail Bookbuild – Retail Entitlements which are not taken up by the close of the Retail Entitlement Offer and Entitlements of Ineligible Retail Shareholders will be offered for sale through the Retail Bookbuild. Any proceeds of sale in excess of the Issue Price (net of withholding tax) will be paid to renouncing Shareholders
Where fractions arise in the calculation of an Entitlement, they have been rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares.
The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by the Underwriter on the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement (see section 7.16 for more details).
Please refer to the ASX Announcement and the Investor Presentation set out in Section 6 for information on the purpose of the Entitlement Offer, the application of the proceeds of the Entitlement Offer and for information on ClearView’s business, performance and strategy. You should also consider other publicly available information about ClearView, including information available at www.asx.com.au and www.clearview.com.au.

4 What should you do?
4.1 What should you do?
This Retail Offer Booklet and the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form contain important information about the Retail Entitlement Offer. You should read them carefully and in their entirety before deciding whether or not to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.
The Retail Entitlement Offer is not being made under a prospectus or product disclosure statement. Rather, the Retail Entitlement Offer is being made pursuant to provisions of the Corporations Act which allow rights issues and related issues to be made by providing certain confirmations to the market on the basis that all information that investors and their professional advisers would reasonably require to make an informed investment decision in relation to the Retail Entitlement Offer, when read with this Retail Offer Booklet and the accompanying information, is publicly available. This Retail Offer Booklet does not contain all of the information which would be required to be disclosed in a prospectus or product disclosure statement. As a result, it is important for you to read and understand the publicly available information on ClearView and the Offer (for example, available on http://www.clearview.com.au or www.asx.com.au) prior to deciding whether to accept your Entitlement and apply for New Shares.
If you are in doubt as to the course you should follow, you should seek appropriate professional advice before making an investment decision.
- 4.2 Consider the Retail Entitlement Offer in light of your particular investment objectives and circumstances
Please consult with your stockbroker, accountant or other independent professional adviser if you have any queries or are uncertain about any aspects of the Retail Entitlement Offer. You should also refer to the “Key Risks” section of the Investor Presentation.
An investment in New Shares is subject to investment and other known and unknown risks, some of which are beyond the control of ClearView, including possible loss of income and principal invested. ClearView does not guarantee any particular rate of return or the performance of ClearView, nor does it guarantee the repayment of capital from ClearView or any particular tax treatment. In considering an investment in New Shares, investors should have regard to (amongst other things) the “Key Risks” section of the Investor Presentation and the disclaimers outlined in this Retail Offer Booklet.
4.3 Decide what you want to do
If you are an Eligible Retail Shareholder, you may subscribe for all, some or none of your Entitlement (see section 5.2 for further details).
Eligible Retail Shareholders who do not participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer, or participate for an amount less than their Entitlement, will have their percentage holding in ClearView reduced. Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlement, whether in full or in part, may receive some cash in respect of those Entitlements they do not take up depending on the outcome of the Retail Bookbuild.

5 How to apply
5.1 Eligibility to participate
The information in this Retail Offer Booklet contains an offer of New Shares to Eligible Retail Shareholders in Australia and New Zealand and has been prepared in accordance with section 708AA of the Corporations Act as modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84 .
Eligible Retail Shareholders are persons who are registered as a holder of Existing Shares as at the Record Date of 7:00pm (AEST) on Wednesday, 1 June 2016 and who:
-
have an address on the share register in Australia or New Zealand;
-
are not in the United States or acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States;
-
are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Retail Entitlement Offer; and
-
were not invited to participate (other than as nominee, in respect of other underlying holdings) in the Institutional Entitlement Offer.
Eligible Retail Shareholders will receive a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form setting out their Entitlement which accompanies this Retail Offer Booklet. If you have more than one registered holding of Shares, you will be sent more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will have separate Entitlements for each separate holding.
Not all ClearView shareholders will be eligible to participate in the Entitlement Offer. Please read the “Additional Information” section for further details in this regard (refer to section 7.3).
The Entitlement stated on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form may be in excess of the actual Entitlement you may be permitted to take up where, for example, you are holding Shares on behalf of a person in the United States.
ClearView may (in its absolute discretion) extend the Retail Entitlement Offer to any institutional shareholder that was eligible to participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer but was not invited to participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer (subject to compliance with relevant laws).
5.2 Choices available to Eligible Retail Shareholders
As an Eligible Retail Shareholder you may:
-
a) take up all or part of your Entitlement (refer to section 5.3); or
-
b) take no action and allow all or part of your Entitlement to be sold into the Retail Bookbuild (refer to section 5.4)
10
==> picture [162 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
5.3 Take up all or part of your Entitlement
Your Entitlement is set out on the accompanying personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and has been calculated as 1 New Share for every 10.2 Existing Shares you held as at the Record Date of 7:00pm on Wednesday, 1 June 2016. If the result is not a whole number, your Entitlement will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of New Shares.
If you wish to take up all or part of your Entitlement, you may either:
-
complete and return the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form with the requisite Application Monies; or
-
pay your Application Monies via BPAY® by following the instructions set out on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form
If you take up and pay for all or part of your Entitlement before the close of the Retail Entitlement Offer, you will be issued your New Shares on Friday, 24 June 2016. The New Shares will rank equally in all respects with existing shares.
ClearView will treat you as applying for as many New Shares as your payment will pay for in full. Eligible Retail Shareholders are not able to apply for New Shares in excess of their Entitlement as set out in their personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
Any surplus Application Monies received for more than your final allocation will be refunded after the close of the Retail Entitlement Offer. No interest will be paid to Eligible Retail Shareholders on any Application Monies received or returned (wholly or partly).
5.4 Allow all, or part of your Entitlement be offered for sale in the Retail Bookbuild
Any of your Entitlements which you do not take up, sell or transfer will be offered for sale in the Retail Bookbuild on or about Monday, 20 June 2016 to Eligible Institutional Investors. You will receive the Retail Premium (if any), less any applicable withholding tax, in respect of those Entitlements sold through the Retail Bookbuild.
By allowing your Entitlement to be offered for sale in the Retail Bookbuild, you will forgo any exposure to increases or decreases in the value of the New Shares had you taken up your Entitlement (or any value for your Entitlement which may have been achieved through its sale on ASX or otherwise). Your percentage shareholding in CVW will also be diluted.
5.5 Retail Bookbuild
Retail Entitlements that are not taken up under the Retail Entitlement Offer will be offered for sale via a bookbuild sale process. Any proceeds of sale in excess of the Issue Price (net of withholding tax) will be paid proportionally to renouncing Shareholders on or about Friday, 1 July 2016.
Retail Premium amounts (if any), less any applicable withholding tax, will be paid in Australian dollars. If you are an Eligible Retail Shareholder and you have an Australian bank account the details of which have been provided to the CVW Share Registry for direct crediting of payment, then the Retail Premium (if any), less any applicable withholding tax, will be paid into that bank account. In all other circumstances, the Retail Premium (if any), less any
11
==> picture [162 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
applicable withholding tax, will be paid by an A$ cheque.
If the Retail Bookbuild fails to clear the Offer Price, the Retail Premium will be zero, in which case no payment will be made to holders of those Entitlements offered for sale in the Retail Bookbuild. The ability to obtain a Retail Premium will be dependent on several factors including prevailing market conditions. If there is a Retail Premium, it may be less than, greater than, or equivalent to the Institutional Premium.
5.6 Payment Methods
Payment by BPAY
To apply and pay via BPAY you should follow the instructions on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form (which includes the Biller Code and your unique reference number). You should make your payment in respect of your Application Monies via BPAY for the number of New Shares you wish to subscribe for (being the issue price of A$0.85 per New Share multiplied by the number of New Shares you are applying for). You can only make a payment via BPAY if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution.
You should check the processing cut off-time for BPAY transactions with your bank, credit union or building society to ensure your payment will be received by the Registry by 5:00pm (AEST) on Wednesday, 15 June 2016
If you choose to pay via BPAY you do not need to send in the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, but you are taken to make the declarations on that personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and as set out in this Retail Offer Booklet.
If you have multiple holdings of Shares you will have multiple BPAY reference numbers. To ensure you receive your Entitlement in respect of each holding, you must use the reference number shown on each personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form when paying for New Shares that you wish to apply for in respect of that holding. If you inadvertently use the same reference number for more than one of your Entitlements, you will be deemed to have applied only for New Shares on the Entitlement to which that reference number relates.
Payment by cheque
For payment by cheque, you should:
-
complete your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form accompanying this Retail Offer Booklet in accordance with the instructions on the form; and
-
return the form to the Registry accompanied by a cheque which must be:
-
in respect of your Application Monies, for an amount equal to A$0.85 multiplied by the number of New Shares that you are applying for; and
-
in Australian currency drawn on an Australian branch of a financial institution; and
-
made payable to “ClearView Wealth Limited” and crossed “Not Negotiable”.
12
==> picture [162 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
You need to ensure that your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form and cheque in respect of the full Application Monies is received by the Registry by 5:00pm (AEST) on Wednesday, 15 June 2016 at the following postal address:
Mailing Address
Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited
GPO Box 505
Melbourne VIC 3001
You should ensure that sufficient funds are held in the relevant account(s) to cover the Application Monies. If the amount for your cheque for Application Monies is insufficient to pay for the number of New Shares you have applied for in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you will be taken to have applied for such lower number of whole New Shares as your cleared Application Monies will pay for and to have specified that number of New Shares on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
Should you choose to pay by cheque, bank draft or money order it is your responsibility to ensure that your payment is received by the Registry by no later than 5:00pm (AEST) on Wednesday, 15 June 2016 (subject to variation). Cash payments will not be accepted. Receipts for payment will not be issued.
5.7 Implications of making an Application
Returning a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form or paying any Application Monies for New Shares via BPAY will be taken to constitute a representation by the Eligible Retail Shareholder that they:
-
a) have received a copy of this Retail Offer Booklet accompanying the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, and read it in its entirety;
-
b) make the Eligible Retail Shareholder declarations included as part of this information pack;
-
c) acknowledge that once the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is returned, or a BPAY payment instruction is given in relation to any Application Monies, the Application may not be varied or withdrawn except as required by law.
5.8 No withdrawals
You cannot withdraw your application once it has been accepted. Cooling-off rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares. ClearView reserves the right to withdraw the Retail Entitlement Offer at any time before the issue of New Shares to Eligible Retail Shareholders, in which case ClearView will refund any Application Monies already received in accordance with the Corporations Act and will do so without interest being payable to applicants.

ClearView Wealth Limited (ABN 83 106 248 248) ( ClearView or the Company ) unaudited results to 30 April 2016 continue to reflect the emergence of strong earnings growth and the transition of ClearView’s underlying businesses from a “build” phase to a “growth” phase.
-
Based on the unaudited YTD results to 30 April 2016 and the outlook for the next two months, subject to the performance of investment markets, claims and lapse experience over this period, it is expected that the growth rates in Underlying NPAT[1] for the full year 2016 results (when compared to 30 June 2015), will be broadly consistent with those achieved in the 1H FY16 and in the range of 30%-35%.
-
The Directors therefore anticipate declaring a fully franked dividend of up to 2.5 cents per share for the year ended 30 June 2016 in line with ClearView’s stated dividend policy.
-
The Company is announcing a fully underwritten prorata accelerated renounceable 1-for-10.2 Entitlement Offer to eligible shareholders at a price of $0.85 per share to raise $50 million to repay the CBA Debt Funding Facility.
-
ClearView’s published capital reserving position as at 31 December 2015 indicated ClearView had sufficient net assets, above its internal benchmarks, to meet its medium term capital reserving and business funding needs under its current business plan and anticipated medium term growth, on the basis of treating the CBA Debt Funding Facility (drawn down to $45.5 million) as “capital”. The result of the Entitlement Offer, which will repay the existing drawn down CBA Debt Facility, is that ClearView will be fully capitalised to fund its current business plans, anticipated medium term growth and have some additional capital flexibility over the medium term.
-
The Board is aware that its major shareholder Crescent Capital Partners and its associates ( Crescent ) would consider selling its shares in ClearView and is likely to entertain future control proposals in recognition of the Company transitioning from its “build” phase to “growth” phase.
-
Morgan Stanley has been appointed by the Company to solicit and evaluate strategic options and proposals.
-
Underlying NPAT consists of consolidated net profit after tax adjusted for amortisation (not including capitalised software), the effect of changing discount rates on insurance policy liabilities and costs considered unusual to the Group’s ordinary activities.

Market Release
Trading Update
ClearView is a growing and profitable integrated life insurance and wealth management business that delivered a strong earnings result in 1H FY16 with Total Operating NPAT[1] of $13.9m, up 40% on 1H FY15, and an Underlying NPAT[2] of $13.4m, up 35% on 1H FY15.
Based on the unaudited results to the end of April 2016 and the outlook for the next two months, subject to the performance of investment markets, claims and lapse experience over this period, it is expected that the growth rates in Underlying NPAT[2] for the full year result (when compared to 30 June 2015), will be broadly consistent with those achieved in 1H FY16 results and in the range of 30%-35%.
The Directors therefore anticipate declaring a fully franked dividend of up to 2.5 cents per share for the year ended 30 June 2016 in line with its stated dividend policy. The determination of the final dividend will depend on actual results. The Directors do not expect the Dividend Reinvestment Plan to operate in respect of the dividend for the year ended 30 June 2016.
This is reflective of the emergence of strong earnings growth and the transition of ClearView’s underlying businesses from a “build” phase to a “growth” phase.
The key operating metrics, as noted below, reflect the continued strong performance across the business in the 10 months to 30 April 2016:
- Life Insurance: in-force life insurance premium is up 30% to $142.3 million[3] , with new business written up 8% to $30.1 million for the 10 months ended 30 April 2016.
Within this, the key growth driver, the life advice LifeSolutions portfolio, continues to reflect strong growth, with new business up 20% to $26.4 million for the 10 months ended 30 April 2016. 62% of LifeSolutions new business to 30 April 2016 was generated from third party Independent Financial Advisers ( IFAs ) operating under third party Approved Product Lists ( APLs ). New business generated from IFAs is up 44% on the prior comparable period, with the number of active APLs increasing to 248[4] , up 37% on the prior comparable period. ClearView continues to focus on expanding its distribution reach and embedding growth via the third party IFA market. The continued growth reflects the quality and competitiveness of ClearView’s products and services.
ClearView continues to incrementally invest in this core market and product portfolio. It has launched an improved adviser portal in 2H FY16, with the focus now shifting to an upgrade of its online quote system and application process with the aim of driving increased ease of doing business for IFAs; consistent with the objective of being seen as the quality home for leading IFAs and further broadening out of distribution to the wider IFA market.
As previously advised to the market, ClearView intentionally slowed down its new business volumes in the Non-Advice business in 1H FY16. This has resulted in a reduction in new business sales in this segment, down 36% to $3.7 million for the 10 months to 30 April 2016, and therefore a related drag on the overall life new business growth rates. ClearView’s plan to refocus this business to target mid-market consumers has commenced, coupled with reorganising the operations to deliver operational and sales efficiency. This has had some short term impact on sales volumes but not profitability. The overall ambition is to reposition the business to address this preferred market.
- Wealth Management: FUM is up 8% to $2.04 billion at 30 April 2016, with positive net flows reflecting an improvement in the net outflows of the Master Trust product, the successful introduction of WealthFoundations (a competitive mid-market wealth product) in October 2014 and the continued growth of WealthSolutions (superannuation and IDPS[5] “wrap” platform and related investment models).
The focus in 1H FY16 included the upgrade of WealthSolutions, including the addition of Separately Managed Accounts ( SMAs ). The upgrade improved the position of the platform with a broad cross section of advisers and clients, including better servicing of SMSF accounts. There has also been further incremental investment in the new contemporary platform to improve back office efficiency and automation for the WealthFoundations products and services. The Master Trust business is to be migrated onto the platform in due course, which is likely to realise improved experience for customers and back office efficiencies for ClearView.
-
Total Operating NPAT represents the Underlying NPAT of each of the operating business units before taking into account the interest costs associated with corporate debt. 2. Underlying NPAT consists of consolidated net profit after tax adjusted for amortisation (not including capitalised software), the effect of changing discount rates on insurance policy liabilities and costs considered unusual to the Group’s ordinary activities.

2 Trading and Strategic Update, Equity Raising to Support Growth and Dividend Guidance
Market Release
Notwithstanding that there has been some recent volatility in investment markets, ClearView now has a positive net flow business that is well positioned for growth. ClearView looks to utilise its challenger brand and market positioning, and to gain from the convergence of the superannuation and life insurance markets. Furthermore, the wealth business has the ability to leverage off the distribution network that has been built in the life insurance business since the launch of LifeSolutions, with the number of third party APLs on which the ClearView wealth products are placed now increasing to 8 at 30 April 2016[1] .
- Financial Advice: The number of financial advisers operating under ClearView’s AFSL has increased to 141 as at 30 April 2016, up from 136 at 31 December 2015. Matrix has a total of 89 advisers as at 30 April 2016, raising the total for the Group to 230, up from 221 at 31 December 2015.
There is a continued focus on selectively recruiting high quality advisers who have the right cultural fit for ClearView and Matrix, with a focus on quality over quantity. This is consistent with the overall strategy of building a high quality financial advice business which provides strategic advice for clients.
ClearView is in a strong position to continue growth, given the complementary nature of life insurance and wealth management products over the economic cycle and a focus on:
-
Leveraging off the embedded growth in its distribution network in the life insurance markets whilst closely monitoring the developments in relation to the proposed life insurance reforms, in particular the potential opening up of APLs;
-
Crystalising benefits from improved product pricing, in particular in the income protection market; and
-
Increasing scale over time and progressively reducing its expense overruns which will be absorbed as the business grows to scale over the medium term.
ClearView has now established a robust platform to drive momentum and has continued to convert its strategic positioning into material earnings growth in the period to 30 April 2016. ClearView is implementing a high growth strategy with the goal of attaining 5% of the long term life insurance profit pool, building a material wealth management business and a high quality financial advice business.
Strategic Update
The Board is aware that its major shareholder Crescent would consider selling their shares in ClearView and are likely to entertain future control proposals[2] . The Board has and intends to solicit and evaluate relevant proposals in the best interests of all shareholders.
Morgan Stanley has been appointed to solicit and evaluate strategic options or proposals. There is no certainty however that any such proposal will be forthcoming.
However, as noted above, with the continued growth of the business and the need for a more permanent capital solution to replace the CBA Debt Funding Facility to support the growth of in-force life insurance premiums, the Board believes it is best to raise equity capital now. Crescent is supportive of the capital raising and has agreed to take up its pro-rata entitlement under the Institutional Entitlement Offer.
Equity Raising
ClearView announces the launch of a fully underwritten pro-rata accelerated renounceable Entitlement Offer to eligible shareholders to raise approximately $50 million to support the growth of the Company, with proceeds to be applied as follows:
-
$45.5 million to repay the CBA Debt Funding Facility; and
-
$4.5 million as capital for growth.
ClearView’s published capital reserving position as at 31 December 2015 indicated ClearView had sufficient net assets, above its internal benchmarks, to meet its medium term capital reserving and business funding needs under its current business plan and anticipated medium term growth, on the basis of treating the CBA Debt Funding Facility (drawn down to $45.5 million) as “capital”. The result of the Entitlement Offer, which will repay the existing drawn down CBA Debt Facility, is that ClearView will

be fully capitalised with “Common Equity Tier 1” capital to fund its current business plans, anticipated medium term growth and have some additional capital flexibility over the medium term.
Nonetheless, future events, including medium to longer term growth materially above that currently anticipated by ClearView, could result in a need for future capital funding (in the form of equity and/or debt). The existing CBA Debt Funding Facility of $50 million will therefore remain in place.
Equity Raising Details
The Entitlement Offer will be structured as a 1-for-10.2 fully underwritten pro-rata accelerated renounceable Entitlement Offer priced at $0.85 per share to raise gross proceeds of $50 million. The Entitlement Offer comprises an accelerated institutional component ( Institutional Entitlement Offer ) of approximately $35 million and a retail component ( Retail Entitlement Offer ) of approximately $15 million.
Approximately 59 million new ClearView shares will be issued under the equity raising, representing approximately 9.8% of total issued capital.
The offer price of $0.85 represents a discount of 10.1% to the closing price of $0.945 on Friday, 27 May 2016 and a 9.2% discount to the theoretical ex-rights price (TERP)[1] .
ClearView’s ordinary shares will remain in a trading halt until ASX market open on Wednesday, 1 June 2016. Eligible shareholders will be able to subscribe for 1 new ClearView share ( New Shares ) for every existing 10.2 shares held as at the Record Date of 7:00pm (AEST) on Wednesday, 1 June 2016 at the offer price of $0.85 per New Share ( Entitlement ). Key dates of the Entitlement Offer are provided under the Appendix to this announcement. Entitlements cannot be traded on the ASX.
Eligible institutional shareholders will be invited to participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer which will take place from Monday, 30 May 2016 to Tuesday, 31 May 2016. Eligible institutional shareholders can choose to take up all, part or none of their Entitlements.
Entitlements of non-participating and ineligible institutional shareholders will be sold in the institutional shortfall bookbuild on Tuesday, 31 May 2016 and the excess (if any) of the shortfall bookbuild price above the offer price will be remitted proportionally to non-participating and ineligible shareholders less any applicable withholding tax. There is no guarantee that there will be any proceeds remitted to those shareholders. Settlement of the Institutional Entitlement Offer is expected to occur on Wednesday, 8 June 2016.
Eligible retail shareholders will be invited to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer at the same offer price and offer ratio as the Institutional Entitlement Offer. The Retail Entitlement Offer will open at 9:00am on Friday, 3 June 2016, and close at 5:00pm on Wednesday, 15 June 2016. Settlement of the Retail Entitlement Offer will occur on Thursday, 23 June 2016.
Entitlements of non-participating and ineligible retail shareholders will be sold in the retail shortfall bookbuild on Monday, 20 June 2016, and the excess (if any) of the shortfall bookbuild price above the offer price will be remitted proportionally to non-participating and ineligible shareholders less any applicable withholding tax. There is no guarantee that there will be any proceeds remitted to those shareholders.
Further details about the Retail Entitlement Offer will be set out in a retail offer booklet ( Retail Offer Booklet ), which ClearView expects to lodge with the ASX on Wednesday, 1 June 2016. Eligible retail shareholders wishing to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer should carefully read the Retail Offer Booklet and an accompanying personalised entitlement and acceptance form. Copies of the Retail Offer Booklet will be available on the ASX from Wednesday, 1 June 2016.
New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will rank equally with existing ClearView shares in all respects from the date of allotment.
The Entitlement Offer is fully underwritten by Morgan Stanley Australia Securities Limited (the Underwriter ). ClearView’s major shareholder, Crescent and its associates[2] (holding approximately 53% of total issued capital as at the date of this

Theoretical ex-rights price (“TERP”) is the theoretical price at which shares in ClearView should trade immediately after the ex-date of the Entitlement Offer. TERP is a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at which shares in ClearView trade immediately after the ex-date of the Entitlement Offer will depend on many factors and may not be equal to TERP. TERP is calculated by reference to ClearView’s closing price of $0.945 per share on Friday, 27 May 2016, being the last trading day prior to the announcement of the Entitlement Offer.

Commenting on the strategic developments and equity raising, ClearView’s Chairman Bruce Edwards said, “We are delighted with the performance of the business and are pleased to present the opportunity for shareholders to continue to support the future growth of ClearView through the equity raising. The additional funding will provide the required capital to support the growth of the company in the medium term.
The Board will evaluate any potential future proposals which may result in an offer for all the shares in the Company and we will work constructively with Crescent to ensure any transaction involving the Company that may arise will be in all shareholders’ best interests. There is no certainty that any such proposal will be forthcoming.
The Board believes it is important that we put the capital in place now to ensure that the Company can pursue its growth objectives and create value independent of any proposals that may be received in the future.”

-
ClearView is a growing and profitable integrated life insurance and wealth management business that delivered a strong earnings result in 1H16 with Total Operating NPAT of $13.9m, up 40% on 1H15, and an Underlying NPAT of $13.4m, up 35% on 1H15.
-
This result is reflective of the emergence of strong earnings growth and the transition of ClearView’s underlying businesses from a “build” phase to a “growth” phase.
Life Advice
-
The LifeSolutions portfolio continues to reflect strong growth (with new business up 20% to $26.4m for the 10 months to 30 April 2016)
-
62% of new business to 30 April 2016 generated from third party Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs) operating under third party Approved Product Lists (APLs) (+44% vs. pcp). The number of active APLs has increased to 248[1] , up 37% vs. pcp. ClearView continues to focus on expanding its distribution reach and embedding growth via the third party IFA market
-
Incremental investment in this core market and product portfolio continues with the launch of an improved adviser portal in 2H16, with the focus now shifting to upgrading its online quote system and application process with the aim of driving increased ease of doing business for IFAs; consistent with the objective of being seen as the quality home for leading IFAs and further broadening out of distribution to the wider IFA market
Life Non-Advice
-
As previously advised to the market, ClearView intentionally slowed down new business volumes in Non-Advice, which has resulted in a reduction in new business (-36%) to $3.7m for the 10 months to 30 April 2016, and therefore a related drag on the overall life new business growth rates
-
ClearView’s plan to refocus the business to target mid-market consumers has commenced, coupled with reorganising the operations to deliver operational and sales efficiency. This has had some short term impact on sales volumes but not profitability. Overall ambition is to reposition the business to address this preferred market

Wealth Management
-
FUM[1] is up 8% to $2.04b at 30 April 2016, with positive net flows reflecting an improvement in the net outflows of the Master Trust product, the successful introduction of WealthFoundations (a competitive mid-market wealth product) in October 2014 and the continued growth of WealthSolutions (superannuation and IDPS “wrap” platform and related investment models)
-
Focus in 1H16 included the upgrade of WealthSolutions, including the addition of Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) that improved the position of the platform with a broad cross section of advisers and clients, including better servicing of SMSF accounts. There has also been further incremental investment in the new contemporary platform to improve back office efficiency and automation for the WealthFoundations products and services. The Master Trust business is to be migrated onto the platform in due course, which will realise improved experience for customers and back office efficiencies for ClearView
-
Notwithstanding that there has been some recent volatility in investment markets, ClearView now has a positive net flow business that is well positioned for growth. ClearView looks to utilise its challenger brand and market positioning, and to gain from the convergence of the superannuation and life insurance markets
-
ClearView has the ability to leverage off the distribution network that has been built in the life insurance business since the launch of LifeSolutions, with the number of third party APLs on which the ClearView wealth products are placed now increasing to 8 at 30 April 2016
Financial Advice
-
The number of financial advisers operating under ClearView’s AFSL has increased to 141 as at 30 April 2016, up from 136 at 31 December 2015. Matrix has a total of 89 advisers as at 30 April 2016, raising the total for the Group to 230, up from 221 at 31 December 2015
-
There is a continued focus on selectively recruiting high quality advisers who have the right cultural fit for ClearView and Matrix, with a focus on quality over quantity. This is consistent with the overall strategy of building a high quality financial advice business providing strategic advice for clients

Outlook
==> picture [116 x 55] intentionally omitted <==
-
ClearView Business Outlook
-
� ClearView remains in a strong position to continue growth, given the complementary nature of its life insurance and wealth management products over the economic cycle and a focus on:
-
Leveraging off the embedded growth in its distribution network in the life insurance markets whilst closely monitoring the developments in relation to the proposed life insurance reforms, in particular the potential opening up of APLs;
-
Crystallising benefits from improved product pricing, in particular in the income protection market; and
-
Increasing scale over time and progressively reducing its expense overruns which will be absorbed as the business grows to scale over the medium term
-
Based on the unaudited results to 30 April 2016 and the outlook for the next two months, subject to the performance of investment markets, claims and lapse experience over this period, it is expected that the growth rates in Underlying NPAT for the full year result (when compared to 30 June 2015), will be broadly consistent with those achieved in the 1H16 result and in the range of 30% – 35%
-
The result of the announced Entitlement Offer, which will repay the existing drawn down CBA Debt Facility, is that ClearView will be fully capitalised with “Common Equity Tier 1” capital to fund its current business plans, anticipated medium term growth and have some additional capital flexibility over the medium term. Nonetheless, future events including medium to longer term growth materially above that currently anticipated by ClearView could result in a need for future capital funding (in the form of equity and/or debt). The existing CBA Debt Facility of $50m will therefore remain in place
ClearView has now established a strong platform to drive momentum and has started to convert its strategic positioning into material earnings growth in the period to 30 April 2016. ClearView is implementing a high growth strategy with the goal of attaining 5% of the long term life insurance profit pool, building a material wealth management business and a high quality financial advice business.

Strategic Review
==> picture [116 x 55] intentionally omitted <==
-
The Board is aware that its major shareholder Crescent Capital Partners and its associates (Crescent) would consider selling their shares in ClearView and are likely to entertain future control proposals.
-
The Board intends to solicit and evaluate proposals in the best interests of all shareholders.
-
Morgan Stanley has been appointed to evaluate any strategic options or proposals.
-
However, as noted above, with the continued growth of the business and the need for capital to support the growth of inforce life premiums the Board believes it is best to raise capital in advance of receiving any proposals.
-
Crescent is supportive of the capital raising and has agreed to take up its pro-rata entitlement under the Institutional Entitlement Offer, representing 52.9% of ClearView’s issued capital.

This section discloses some of the key risks attaching to an investment in ClearView. The risks in this section are not, and should not be considered to be or relied on as, an exhaustive list of the risks relevant to an investment in ClearView.
Risks Specific to ClearView
The primary asset related risks borne by ClearView relate to the financial assets of ClearView and its operating subsidiaries. The financial assets of ClearView may be affected by changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, market conditions and equity prices. The key ClearView asset related risks are as follows: a) Credit risks on counterparties ‒ Credit risk arises from ClearView’s investment activities and the potential for loss arising from the failure of counterparties to meet their contractual obligations, and any change in value as a result of changes in counterparties’ credit ratings. b) Asset and investment liquidity risk ‒ A failure to be able to realise investments may result in ClearView failing to meet obligations under financial products offered, may result in compliance breaches and could damage the reputation of ClearView. More broadly, liquidity risk may affect the cash flow position of ClearView, making it difficult for ClearView to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due. c) Asset concentration risk Asset related risks ‒ ClearView has significant current exposures to the major Australian banks via term and cash deposits with those banks. d) Investment performance risk (client funds) ‒ The fees charged by ClearView vary with the level of policyholder and client funds under management and administration. Investment returns impact on the amount of funds under management and therefore on the fees earned. Underperformance of investment management of ClearView’s funds may result in loss of such funds, as well as related reputational exposure. e) Asset liability mismatch risk ‒ The assets held by ClearView to back its non-investment-linked liabilities (especially its policy liabilities and guaranteed investment contract liabilities) may not closely match the nature and term of those liabilities. To the extent that there is a significant duration mismatch between the term of the assets and the liabilities, changes in market interest rates may impact ClearView’s financial performance and position in the short term and potentially longer term. The movement in other asset prices (e.g. equities) that affect the value of the assets but not the liabilities may have similar short and long term impacts.

– Key Risks 2/5
==> picture [93 x 20] intentionally omitted <==
A number of risks arise in respect of the pricing and performance of ClearView’s products.
-
a) Insurance claims risk ‒ Adverse insurance claims experience relative to product pricing could arise from a number of sources including random (statistical) claims variations, community trends (e.g. obesity), pandemic or similar events, a catastrophe affecting a number of ClearView insured lives, poor underwriting or acceptance terms, poor claims management practice or ability or defective policy benefit terms.
-
b) Reinsurance risk ‒ ClearView has entered into reinsurance arrangements which reduce the insurance risks. However, a lack of appropriate reinsurance cover or historical errors leading to current reinsurance arrangements becoming ineffective may have a material adverse effect on ClearView. The availability, amount and cost of reinsurance can be affected by prevailing market
-
Product insurance conditions, in terms of price and available capacity. There are also risks associated with the financial security of its and liability risk reinsurers and that reinsurers may dispute or default on their obligation to pay valid claims. (Cont.) c) Competition ‒ ClearView may lose business to its competitors if it is unable to demonstrate technical expertise, competitive pricing and reliable performance to customers.
-
d) Customer discontinuance and lapse ‒ The loss of customers at rates higher than anticipated leads to a loss of future revenues and the write off of the asset components within the policy liability (resulting in losses).
-
e) Expenses and costs of business ‒ The failure of ClearView to maintain or improve the relationship between its operational cost base and the expense margins available in the market prices it charges for its products and volume of business it generates and maintains, may result in the underperformance of ClearView relative to investor expectations. Factors impacting this risk include internal business efficiency and technology use, external factors such as regulatory change demands, and client discontinuance rates.
-
ClearView is exposed to risks in its competitive environment, the volume of business it can write and fees it can generate, and its ability to manage and react to these challenges.
-
Strategic position and capability a) Reliance on senior management and key personnel ‒ The operating and financial performance of ClearView is dependent on its ability to retain senior management and key personnel to manage the business and respond to its changing environment.

b) Reliance on financial advisers and distribution
‒ Failure to retain and motivate ClearView Financial Advice and Matrix financial advisers would be likely to have a material
adverse effect on future earnings and the value of ClearView’s business. Failure to retain ClearView products on sufficient
Approved Product Lists would be likely to have a material adverse effect on future sales, earnings and the value of
ClearView’s business. Production of non-advice (direct) life insurance sales depends on maintaining sound business
Strategic position relationships with existing strategic and other distribution partners and establishing new strategic partners in the future.
and capability
c) Demand for financial products and services
(Cont.) ‒ Demand for ClearView’s financial products and services is impacted by changes in external investment markets and
economic conditions. For example, weak equity markets can discourage customers from investing as well as increase fund
outflows from existing products. Demand for ClearView’s investment products and services is also impacted by ClearView’s
investment performance relative to the investment performance of its competitors. Insurance product demand can be
impacted by cost pressures on households, economic uncertainty (although often favourably) and changing population
demographics.
a) General operational risks
‒ ClearView is exposed to operational risks arising from process error, fraud, system failure and failure of security and
physical protection systems.
b) Reliance on technology, systems and outsourcing
‒ A significant or sustained failure in ClearView’s information technology infrastructure or systems or by an outsource
Operational and provider could have a material adverse effect on ClearView. ClearView could be adversely affected by changes in the
legal risk business or financial condition of one or more of a significant supplier, a joint venture partner or a significant customer.
c) Risk of litigation and dispute
‒ ClearView is subject to the usual business risk that disputes or litigation may arise from time to time in the course of its
business activities. This risk could include risks of disputes and litigation concerning poor financial advice by ClearView
financial advice and insurance claims disputes and litigation. The failure of ClearView’s professional indemnity insurers or
life reinsurers to support ClearView’s position on material matters would exacerbate this risk.
a) Reliance on licences
‒ A number of ClearView group companies hold licences and are required to comply with regulations. If any of them fails to
Regulatory
comply with the licence or the regulations, this could result in the suspension or cancellation of the licence or authorisation
compliance
which enables it to operate its business. Such a breach or loss would have a material adverse effect on ClearView’s
business, financial performance and reputation.

| Regulatory compliance (Cont.) |
b) Capital management and reserving ‒ Any failure to comply with the capital requirements which apply to ClearView group companies could have a material adverse impact on ClearView’s regulatory status and reputation, and as a consequence its business and financial performance. |
|---|---|
| Changes in government policy and legislation, financial reporting |
a) Financial advice regulation ‒ It is possible that future regulatory changes may restrict the advice fee model for financial advisers, which may adversely impact the financial advice business of ClearView. Further, a greater degree of regulatory uncertainty around the financial advice industry in general may change valuation metrics for financial advice businesses, which in turn could adversely affect the value of an investment in ClearView. b) Proposed life insurance reforms ‒ It is noted that the recently proposed changes to life insurance commission rules have not passed through Parliament before the current election. There is a risk (both positive and negative) that the eventual rules implemented under a new Government may change from those proposed to date. This could potentially impact ClearView and the industry. c) Financial reporting & financial regulation ‒ The reported financial performance of ClearView is reflected under the current financial reporting standards that apply (A- IFRS). While changes in these standards may not change the underlying economics of ClearView, they have the potential to impact the market’s perception of ClearView and the ability of ClearView to explain its economics, impact its tax liabilities, dividend payment and franking, and secondary impacts on regulatory position. It is noted that material changes to the current insurance accounting standard are proposed for implementation in the future. ‒ Changes to the regulatory capital requirements of ClearView’s licensed entities, or other similar changes such as liquidity or asset profile standards, could impact the business economics of ClearView. ‒ It is noted that both these items would have impacts on the broader industry as well. |
| General Risks |
There are general risks associated with an investment in the share market. Such risks may affect the value of Shares. The value of The future price of Shares may rise above or fall below the Offer Price, depending on the financial position, operating performance and dividends of Shares is subject to ClearView. Further, broader market factors affecting the price of Shares are unpredictable and may be unrelated or the uncertainty of disproportionate to the financial performance of ClearView. Such factors may include the rate of inflation, changes in interest rates, equity market the economic conditions in Australia and overseas, investor sentiment in the local and international stock markets, consumer conditions sentiment, changes in fiscal, monetary, regulatory and other government policies, changes in laws, global political and economic stability, interest and inflation rates and foreign exchange rates.

Risks associated with not taking up your entitlement under the Offer Forward looking statements
If you do not take up all of your entitlements under the Offer, your percentage shareholding in ClearView will be reduced. As the Entitlement Offer is renounceable, New Shares that are not taken up under the Entitlement Offer will be offered for sale via a bookbuild sale process. Any proceeds of sale in excess of the Issue Price (net of withholding tax) will be paid to renouncing Shareholders. However, you should note that the ability to sell New Shares and obtain a clearing price in the bookbuild that exceeds the Issue Price will be dependent on a number of factors, including market conditions, and no guarantee can be given that a price in excess of the Issue Price will be achieved. You would also forfeit any value in respect of the underlying shares related to your entitlements that could arise should certain forms of control transaction transpire in the future.
Forward looking statements, opinions, estimates and projections are dependent on various factors, many of which are outside of the control of ClearView. There is a risk that assumptions and contingencies upon which forward statements, opinions, estimates and projections are based may differ from what may actually result. This could impact upon the value of Clearview shares.

ClearView Successfully Completes Institutional Component of Entitlement Offer
On Monday, 30 May 2016, ClearView Wealth Limited ( ClearView or the Company , ASX: CVW) announced that it would conduct a 1 for 10.2 pro rata accelerated renounceable Entitlement Offer ( Entitlement Offer ), comprising an institutional component ( Institutional Entitlement Offer ) and retail component ( Retail Entitlement Offer , together the Entitlement Offer ) to raise A$50 million.
ClearView is pleased to announce that it has completed the Institutional Entitlement Offer and successfully raised approximately A$34 million. The Institutional Entitlement Offer was strongly supported by ClearView’s institutional shareholders, evidenced by a 100% take-up rate by eligible institutional shareholders and the subscription by Crescent Capital Partners[(1) ] ( Crescent ) for its full entitlement.
ClearView Managing Director, Simon Swanson, said “We are delighted by the ongoing support demonstrated by ClearView’s existing institutional shareholders and Crescent. We consider this a strong endorsement of ClearView’s ability to continue to profitably grow the business.”
All new shares to be issued under the Entitlement Offer ( New Shares ) will be issued at A$0.85 per share ( Issue Price ) and will rank equally in all respects with existing ordinary shares from the allotment date.
Settlement of the Institutional Entitlement Offer is expected to be completed by Wednesday, 8 June 2016 and, accordingly, New Shares to be issued under the Institutional Entitlement Offer are expected to be issued and commence trading on the ASX on Thursday, 9 June 2016.

7.3 Ineligible Retail Shareholders
ClearView has determined that it is unreasonable to make offers under the Retail Entitlement Offer to shareholders who have registered addresses outside Australia and New Zealand, having regard to the number of such shareholders in those places and the number and value of the New Shares that they would be offered, and the cost of complying with the relevant legal and regulatory requirements in those places.

Any failure to comply with such restrictions may constitute a violation of applicable securities laws.
7.4 Reconciliation, Top-Up Shares and the Rights of ClearView
As in any Entitlement Offer, investors may believe that they own more Existing Shares on the Record Date than they ultimately do. This may result in a need for reconciliation to ensure all Eligible Retail Shareholders have the opportunity to receive their full Entitlement. If reconciliation is required, it is possible that ClearView may need to issue a small quantity of additional New Shares ( Top-Up Shares ) to ensure all Eligible Retail Shareholders have the opportunity to receive their full Entitlement. Any Top-Up Shares will be issued on Friday, 24 June 2016.
ClearView also reserves the right to reduce the number of New Shares allocated to Eligible Retail Shareholders or persons claiming to be Eligible Retail Shareholders, if their Entitlement claims prove to be overstated, or if they or their nominees fail to provide information requested to substantiate their Entitlement claims, or if they are indeed not Eligible Retail Shareholders.
7.5 Holding Statements
Confirmations are expected to be dispatched to Eligible Retail Shareholders on Monday, 27 June 2016 in respect of New Shares allotted under the Retail Entitlement Offer.
It is the responsibility of each Applicant to confirm their holding before trading in New Shares. Any Applicant who sells New Shares before receiving written confirmation of their holding will do so at their own risk. ClearView and the Underwriter disclaim all liability whether in negligence or otherwise (and to the maximum extent permitted by law) to persons who trade New Shares before receiving their confirmations, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation provided by ClearView, the Registry, or the Underwriter.
7.6 Withdrawal of the Entitlement Offer
ClearView reserves the right to withdraw the Entitlement Offer at any time, in which case ClearView will refund any Application Monies already received in accordance with the Corporations Act and will do so without interest.
7.7 Ranking of New Shares
New Shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will on issue rank equally with Existing Shares. New Shares will be entitled to any dividends on ordinary shares with a record date after the date of issue.
7.8 Notice to Nominees and Custodians
Nominees and custodians which hold Existing Shares as nominees or custodians will have received, or will shortly receive, a letter from ClearView. Nominees and custodians should consider carefully the contents of that letter and note in particular that the Retail Entitlement Offer is not available to institutional shareholders to whom the Underwriter makes an offer on
42
==> picture [162 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
behalf of ClearView under the Institutional Entitlement Offer (whether they accepted their Entitlement or not) ( Eligible Institutional Shareholders ) and institutional shareholders that were ineligible to participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer. ClearView is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Existing Shares or Entitlements. Where any nominee or custodian is acting on behalf of a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Retail Entitlement Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws.
ClearView is not able to advise on foreign laws. Nominees and custodians may not distribute any part of this Retail Offer Booklet in the United States or in any other country outside Australia and New Zealand, except to beneficial shareholders who are institutional investors in other countries listed in, and to the extent permitted under, the section captioned “Foreign Jurisdictions” in the attached Investor Presentation.
7.9 Option holders
Existing option holders will not be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer unless they have become entitled to exercise their existing options under their terms of issue, and do exercise those options in sufficient time to become the registered holder of Existing Shares prior to the Record Date.
7.10 Continuous Disclosure
ClearView is a “disclosing entity” under the Corporations Act and is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, including the preparation of annual reports and half yearly reports.
ClearView is required to notify ASX of information about specific events and matters as they arise for the purposes of ASX making that information available to the stock markets conducted by ASX. In particular, ClearView has an obligation under the ASX Listing Rules (subject to certain exceptions) to notify ASX immediately of any information of which it is or becomes aware which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of ClearView shares. That information is available to the public from ASX.
7.11 Risks
The Investor Presentation details important factors and risks that could affect the financial and operating performance of ClearView. Please refer to the “Key Risks” section of the Investor Presentation for details. You should consider these key risks carefully in light of your personal circumstances, including financial and taxation issues, before making an investment decision in connection with the Retail Entitlement Offer.
7.12 Past performance
Investors should note that the past share price performance of ClearView provides no guarantee or guidance as to future share price performance. Past performance information given in this Retail Offer Booklet is provided for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as (and is not) an indication of future performance.
