New information came to light once the forms were posted out to holders during Christmas week.

We have found, alarmingly, that Computershare, the neutral controller of vote counting and sorting at EGM's and AGM's have not been used for this EGM, and the company has elected to control the EGM by itself.

Considering the sensitive nature of this EGM, that is a very worrying more for holders wanting to know that the count is 100% accurate and all votes have been counted.

For the sake of approximately $2000 (figure supplied by Computershare), Cityview have decided they don't need any audit or assistance with these precious votes. It was all right for them to spend copious amounts on legal assistance to brush some of our resolutions under the mat with no explanation, but not OK to give shareholders the courtesy of a neutral body controlling the vote count?

This shareholder group wanted to use Computershare's address to have the votes sent to, so that it was a completely outside body monitoring and collecting. Unfortunately, Computershare said they were unable to have their address used for the above reasons - they have not been hired for the EGM.

(Changed on Friday Jan 23rd - see latest read on home page)

SO - our advise is to send all of your completed voting papers to us and we will pass them on in bulk and by the due date with a completed list of holders and shares attached so that you are all accounted for and cannot possible be accidentally kicked under any table!

Proxy Voting:

For shareholders unable to attend the EGM on January 30th 2009, it will be vital for you to lodge a proxy vote to enable the shareholders group to take the company to the levels we feel it deserves - of transparency and honesty with holders, and using funds to advance projects rather than the manner in which affairs have been conducted in the past. If you are attending, your vote still apparently needs to be counted by Wednesday to be incluuded in the totals. As all votes are expected to go to a poll, we recommend you fax them in regardless, and take your original with you on hte day if you are attending.

If you choose to lodge your proxy votes with us you have two options:

1. You can specify how your votes will be cast and we will lodge them on your behalf to ensure all statutory requirements are met.
2. You can lodge a discretionary proxy and which will give us the power to cast your votes as we see fit.  This will allow us to take any last minute developments into account.

To ensure your vote is counted, we must comply rigidly with the relevant sections of the Corporations Act.

An example proxy form is shown below - naming Steven Coughlan as your proxy of choice, though if you have completed ALL 12 resolutions with a cross, please feel free to nominate the chairman if you wish (we don't know who CVI will elect to use as chairman yet).

Please FAX to Computershare on (08) 9323 2033

Alternatively (preferably if you have time), mail the forms back to Computershare by EXPRESS POST to the following address:

Computershare, CVI EGM Votes, Level 2, 45 St Georges Terrace, Perth, WA 6000

If you have not yet received a form, we can advise you of the address it would have been posted to, and we can arrange to get you a new form sent out.

Voting Recommendations:

Our recommendations on each resolution have been spoken about in depth in these articles, "Resolution Comments" and "Cityview say no to transparency".

We MUST see change, as more of the same is likely to see the end of Cityview and our investment.

Therefore, a brief overview is to vote YES for resolutions 3 to 12. We have made no recommendation either way on the company resolutions, though we have reservations certainly re what they intend to achieve from resolution one. Again, we have been given insufficient information on the intentions of the European Oil transaction, though it is more dilution, and iof necessary the shares could have been issued as part of the shortfall.

Here is an example of a completed proxy voting form, leaving you to decide on resolutions 1 and 2, or leave blank if you wish the proxy to decide.

If we can obtain sufficient information on resolution one to make a recommendation, we will - otherwise it is likely we will vote no, or abstain. Latest recommnedation is to vote AGAINST resolution 1.

Please post your forms to CVI Shareholders Group, c/o PO Box 388, Waterford, Qld 4133, Australia.

NOTE: Due to the latest announcement and now time constraints, we do need your forms faxed back to CVI or to Computershare. They MUST arrive by Wednesday morning Jan 28th at 11am at the latest.

Computershare fax as above (08) 9323 2033.

Posting to Computershare or CVI is only now going to make it on time in an Express Envelope form Capital Cities, or normail mail from Perth. Please access a fax machine at your local Post Office, friends, neighbours or Officeworks if you don't have one at home.

We MUST receive your forms by January 22nd to ensure us getting them to CVI in time for counting, but they will go in all pre counted in a pile. If you post direct to CVI, please email us the details as a scan so that we can make sure your vote IS counted by the company and not 'lost in transit'........

For this example, we have removed the barcoded HIN identification numbers.
