CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

This Corporate Governance Statement discloses the extent to which the Company will, as at the date it is admitted to the official list of the ASX, follow the recommendations set by the ASX Corporate Governance Council in its publication Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations ( Recommendations ). The Recommendations are not mandatory, however the Recommendations that will not be followed have been identified and reasons provided for not following them along with what (if any) alternative governance practices the Company intends to adopt in lieu of the Recommendation.

The Company has adopted a Corporate Governance Plan which provides the written terms of reference for the Company’s corporate governance duties.

Due to the current size and nature of the existing Board and the magnitude of the Company’s operations, the Board does not consider that the Company will gain any benefit from individual Board committees and that its resources would be better utilised in other areas. The Board believes that at this stage, the experience and skill set of the current Board is sufficient to perform these roles. As such, under the Company’s Board Charter, the duties that would ordinarily be assigned to individual committees are currently carried out by the full Board under the written terms of reference for those committees.

The Company’s Corporate Governance Plan is available on the Company’s website at http://www.clearvuepv.com/.

Recommendation 1.5
A listed entity should:
(a) have a diversity policy which includes requirements for

and to assess annually both the objectives and the
entity’s progress in achieving them;
(b) disclose that policy or a summary or it; and

it is the Board’s view that the existing Directors and senior
executives have sufficient skill and experience to carry
out the Company’s plans;
(ii) if it becomes necessary to appoint any new Directors or
senior executives, the Board considers the application of
a measurable gender diversity objective requiring a
specified proportion of women on the Board and in
senior executive roles will, given the small size of the
Company and the Board, unduly limit the Company
from applying the Diversity Policy as a whole and the

engaged as Lead Manager of the Company’s initial public offer.

Directors need to be executive Directors for the Company to
