EQUITY CLAIRVEST’S MISSION PARTNER WITH IS ENTREPRENEURS TO HELP THEM BUILD STRATEGICALLY SIGNIFICANT BUSINESSES. TO CLAIRVEST INVESTS ITS OWN CAPITAL, AND THAT OF THIRD PARTIES THROUGH THE CLAIRVEST EQUITY PARTNERS LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS, IN OWNER-LED BUSINESSES. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S MESSAGE DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS, At the time of writing this letter, North America continues to face an uncertain economic reality with many jurisdictions still closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Entering a crisis is not the time to figure out what you want to be. No matter the challenge, we have managed our company consistently with principles that have stood the test of time and this period is no different. Our company’s mission is to partner with entrepreneurs to help build strategically significant businesses. In so doing, we create value for all stakeholders, foster progress, create employment, contribute to economic growth, and support the communities in which we live. The last few months were especially busy for our team as we worked with our investee partners through new challenges and prepared for the inevitable economic slowdown which will occur. We are fortunate that our portfolio, in aggregate, is holding up during this time. Thanks to a prudent approach to leverage, our most impacted companies have been able to manage through the liquidity crunch to date, and in some cases, identify and close on strategic acquisitions. Some of our portfolio companies are still generating no revenue and their future is reliant on when things will re-open, and how it will look once things do re-open. We will not emerge unscathed, but overall we expect the impact to be manageable considering the diversification of our investments, the fact that the underlying demand remains intact for our investments’ services, and the level of our liquidity that is available to support our portfolio companies and make new investments. We have always commented that wealth creation and staying power are linked, but it is only in times like these is it so evident. We entered this crisis in a position of strength. Despite a challenging fourth quarter where we saw significant market shocks, Clairvest completed fiscal 2020 with a book value per share of $55.55, an increase of 9% over the prior year, including dividends paid. We continued to lead the market by a significant margin with a compounded growth in book value of 11.1% over the last 24 years, after tax, while the S&P 500 delivered only 7% in pre-tax growth. This is despite an average cash balance of 37% during the period, and an ending cash & equivalent balance of $31 per share. Looking back at our activity during fiscal 2020, I am pleased to say that it was a highly productive year. Clairvest completed five new investments in fiscal 2020, deploying over $190 million of capital in many of our core domains such as waste management, gaming and equipment rental, as well as an entry into a new domain; multi-unit healthcare, with a US$39 million investment in ChildSmiles Group. In addition, in December 2019, we completed the exit of County Waste of Virginia that generated a 3.6x return on capital invested and a 32% IRR. Broadly, the portfolio continued to grow with 9 add-on acquisitions, and we helped our partners raise over $270 million in debt and equity capital to support their growth. As we look to fiscal 2021, despite the uncertain economic outlook, we are ready for the challenge. On February 28, 2020, Clairvest launched its newest US$850 million fund, CEP VI. To date CEP VI completed three new investments that continue to build on our industry expertise in the solar renewal energy industry and in waste management. In the current economic climate, having a well-capitalized fund is an advantage. In concluding my remarks, I want to recognize the commitment of our employees during this unique time. Your hard work and dedication is the basis of our continued success. I would also like to acknowledge our investment partners whose commitment and agility has proved invaluable. This unique time has reminded us why we are passionate about our business. Supporting business leaders who are committed to their companies, customers and employees is what helps sustain our economy during difficult times and lead to recovery. Most importantly, we are proud to partner with individuals who share our values of partnership, integrity, tenacity, open mindedness, and long-term focus. Thank you to our board of directors for your continued guidance and support and thank you fellow shareholders for your confidence in our team. Respectfully, Ken Rotman Chief Executive Officer 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS As at, and for the year ended, March 31, 2020 June 24, 2020 The Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") of financial condition and results of operations analyzes significant changes in Clairvest Group Inc.'s consolidated financial results, financial position, risks and opportunities.

Inclusive of dividends paid, Clairvest’s book value increased by 9.0% during fiscal 2020. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, Clairvest recorded $129.3 million in total revenue and $69.5 million in net income, compared to $204.2 million and $119.2 million, respectively, in the prior fiscal year. • During fiscal 2020, 61,194 common shares were purchased and cancelled under the various normal course issuer bids at an average price of $48.84 per share, reducing the number of common shares outstanding to 15,075,301.

A further 9,000 common shares were purchased and cancelled subsequent to year end and up to June 24, 2020. • During fiscal 2020, Clairvest paid an annual ordinary dividend of $0.10 per share and a special dividend of $0.4144 per share.

Clairvest/CEP III Co-Invest and CEP III • As at March 31, 2020 and June 24, 2020, CEP III had returned 2.3 times invested capital to its third-party investors, after consideration of general partner priority distributions, carried interest and expenses (“on a net basis”). CEP III continues to hold one investment as at June 24, 2020. Based on the fair value as at March 31, 2020, CEP III is expected to generate approximately 2.5 times invested capital or an IRR of over 18% for its third-party investors on a net basis. Clairvest/CEP IV Co-Invest and the CEP IV Fund • In January 2020, Clairvest and the CEP IV Fund completed the sale of County Waste of Virginia, a regional solid waste collection company servicing customers in the states of Virginia and Pennsylvania. As at March 31, 2020, Clairvest and the CEP IV Fund had received cash proceeds on the sale totalling US$170.5 million and an additional US$2.2 million subsequent to year end. Clairvest and the CEP IV Fund are also entitled to a deferred payment which is contingent on achieving certain corporate milestones. Cash proceeds received during fiscal 2020 and subsequently, in U.S. dollar terms, generated 3.6 times invested capital, or a 32% IRR over the 7-year holding period. In Canadian dollar terms, CEP IV Co-Invest received total sale proceeds of $60.1 million against the cost of its investment of $14.8 million, or 4.1 times invested capital. The probability of achieving the required corporate milestones for the deferred payment is currently unknown and as a result, no value has been assigned to this deferred payment as at March 31, 2020. • Upon the sale of County Waste of Virginia, Clairvest and the CEP IV Fund has exited 8 of its 12 investments, generating $1.48 billion of total sale proceeds against $263 million of invested capital. As at March 31, 2020, the CEP IV Fund had returned over 2.8 times invested capital to its third-party investors on a net basis. • Remaining investments include Top Aces, New Meadowlands and our residual interest in Davenport Land Investments and Northco. Based on the fair values as at March 31, 2020, the CEP IV Fund is expected to generate approximately 3.3 times invested capital or an IRR of approximately 26% for its third-party investors on a net basis. Clairvest/CEP V Co-Invest and the CEP V Fund • The CEP V Fund was active during fiscal 2020, completing four new investments, as well as realizing one investment, completing one merger between a portfolio company and a publicly-traded company, and another proposed merger with a publicly traded company currently in progress for another portfolio company. In February 2020, the CEP V Fund completed its investment period, with 12 investments to date, representing approximately 77% of its committed capital. Following the completion of its investment period, the CEP V Fund is only permitted to make follow-on investments in these 12 investments. • 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS As at, and for the year ended, March 31, 2020 June 24, 2020 • • • • • • • • In June 2019, CEP V Co-Invest and the CEP V Fund invested US$34.5M (C$45.1 million) in Durante Rentals, a construction equipment rental provider in the New York Metropolitan area.

OUTLOOK On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. As at March 31, 2020 and June 24, 2020, the duration and impact of COVID-19 pandemic on Clairvest and its investee companies are unknown. A number of the Company’s investee companies are located in jurisdictions or are in segments of the economy which have been severely impacted by COVID-19, where some have suffered a temporary 100% decline in revenue as a result of a shutdown of all non-essential businesses as mandated by the relevant local or federal government. The Company and its investee companies have taken and will continue to take actions to mitigate the effects of COVID-19, keeping in mind the interests of the various stakeholders. These changes and any additional changes in operations by Clairvest and its investee companies in response to COVID-19 could materially impact the financial results of the Company. In recent weeks, some of these businesses have begun re-opening; however, it is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of COVID-19-related impacts on the financial results and operations of Clairvest and its investee companies. Uncertain economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak have materially impacted the debt and equity markets, which could materially impact the ultimate exit value of the Company’s investee companies. A number of the Company’s investments are structured with a preferred position in the capital structure, providing additional downside protection against temporary fluctuations of value. As at March 31, 2020, Clairvest and its controlled acquisition entities had $1.6 billion of capital available for future acquisitions through its cash, cash equivalents and temporary investments ("treasury funds"), credit facilities and uncalled capital in the CEP Funds. The current economic and capital markets environment may present unique opportunities for the Company’s existing investee companies to complete acquisitions or for the Company and the CEP VI Fund to acquire new businesses that it may not be able to acquire otherwise. As the Company’s investment mission is to partner with existing entrepreneurs to help build strategically significant businesses, the Company and the CEP Funds intend to continue supporting their investee companies providing them with the opportunity to realize on their investment thesis through this pandemic and beyond. With the commencement of the CEP VI Fund investment period, the Company is benefiting from the additional fees and priority distributions over the next few years, currently estimated to be approximately $13 million per annum, subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuations and reductions as CEP III, CEP IV and CEP V continue to realize on their respective portfolio, thereby reducing the asset base of which fees and priority distributions are calculated. These additional fees and priority distributions will ensure that the Company can continue to grow its human resource capital and infrastructure to maintain the rigorous standards in identifying, qualifying and closing on new investment opportunities, and to continue to support our existing investee companies. From inception, the Company has invested its own capital in every investment. Clairvest's team of professionals have all invested significant amounts of capital in the Company which allows Clairvest to approach each investment as owners and shareholders.

The amount available under the credit facility as at March 31, 2020 was $100.0 million, which is based on debt covenants and certain restrictions within the banking arrangement. No amounts had been drawn on the facility during the year and as at March 31, 2020. As at March 31, 2020, Clairvest had corporate investments with a fair value of $400.3 million, an increase of $34.0 million during fiscal 2020, $367.6 million of which represented the fair value of Clairvest's investee companies, $3.6 million of which represented carried interest from Clairvest Equity Partners V and VI net of management participation, and the remaining $29.1 million of which represented other net assets (liabilities) held by Clairvest's acquisition entities. Excluding the carried interest and management participation from Clairvest Equity Partners V and VI and the net assets (liabilities) held by Clairvest's acquisition entities, the aggregate carrying value of Clairvest's investee companies increased by $28.0 million during fiscal 2020, which primarily comprised the following: - Net increase in unrealized gain on investee companies of $31.0 million; - - - - - - - - - - An investment of $15.9 million in ChildSmiles Group; An investment of $13.6 million in Durante Rentals; An investment of $12.1 million in FSB Technology; An investment of $11.3 million in DTG Recycle; An investment of $4.0 million in SST; Follow-on investment in existing investee companies totalling $2.6 million; Accrued interest on debt investments and dividends totalling $1.4 million; Foreign exchange revaluation gains on invested companies totalling $0.4 million; partially offset by The sale of County Waste which had a fair value of $31.2 million as at March 31, 2019; Reclassification of CIBC common shares from corporate investment to temporary investment upon the expiry of the trading restrictions. The carrying value of the CIBC common shares on the date of reclassification was $23.2 million; The sale of GTA Gaming which had a fair value of $9.0 million as at March 31, 2019; The sale of Impero Waste which had a fair value of $0.5 million as at March 31, 2019. - - Clairvest has implemented a hedging strategy because it has, directly and indirectly, several investments outside of Canada. In order to limit its exposure to changes in the value of these investments denominated in foreign currencies relative to the Canadian dollar, Clairvest and its acquisition entities consider and if determined appropriate, enter into hedging positions against these foreign denominated currencies. For the year ended March 31, 2020, the foreign exchange adjustments made in Clairvest's valuation of its investee companies is primarily offset by the foreign exchange adjustments made in the forward exchange forward contracts used to support its foreign exchange hedging strategy, except for its foreign exchange exposure in its investment in Chilean Gaming Holdings denominated in Chilean Pesos ("CLP") and its equity investment in Head Digital Works denominated in Indian Rupees ("INR"), both of which are unhedged. Forward exchange forward contracts are described in note 15 to the consolidated financial statements. 11 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS As at, and for the year ended, March 31, 2020 June 24, 2020 The table below details the cost and fair value of Clairvest’s investee companies, aggregated by industry concentration, as at March 31, 2020 and 2019: Dental services Equipment rental Financial services Gaming Information technology Marketing services Renewable energy Residential services Specialty aviation and defence services Waste management Other investments March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019 Fair value 16,636 7,102 3,009 186,484 8,602 7,471 18,523 6,375 81,016 27,117 5,257 367,592 Cost 15,902 13,591 — 120,688 6,732 995 16,185 6,375 60,304 21,951 2,346 265,069 Difference 734 (6,489) 3,009 65,796 1,870 6,476 2,338 — 20,712 5,166 2,911 102,523 Fair value Cost Difference — — 22,634 177,319 7,016 10,055 12,463 6,375 56,687 43,390 3,609 339,548 — — 154 117,565 6,732 995 11,621 6,375 59,100 28,486 2,651 233,679 — — 22,480 59,754 284 9,060 842 — (2,413) 14,904 958 105,869 The cost and fair value of these investee companies do not reflect foreign exchange gains or losses on the foreign exchange forward contracts entered into as economic hedges against the Company's foreign currency-denominated investments.

Significant variations arise in the quarterly results due to net investment gains, net carried interest and management participation which are revalued on a quarterly basis when conditions warrant an adjustment to the fair value of the corporate investments and due to realizations, and share-based compensation due to the movement in the trading price and book value of Clairvest's common shares. FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS Net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $24.9 million compared with a net income of $27.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 comprised $98.9 million in net investment loss, $60.7 million in distributions, interest, dividends and fees, and $0.1 million in net carried interest from Clairvest Equity Partners III and IV.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES For a discussion of all significant accounting policies, refer to note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. Fair value of financial instruments When a financial asset or liability is initially recognized, its fair value is generally the value of consideration paid or received. Acquisition costs relating to corporate investments are not included as part of the cost of the investment. Subsequent to initial recognition, the fair value of an investment quoted on an active market, the fair value is generally the bid price on the principal exchange on which the investment is traded. Investments that are escrowed or otherwise restricted on sale or transfer are recorded at amounts at fair values which take into account the escrow terms or other restrictions. In 18 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS As at, and for the year ended, March 31, 2020 June 24, 2020 determining the fair value for such investments, the Company considers the nature and length of the restriction, business risk of the investee company, its stage of development, market potential, relative trading volume and price volatility and any other factors that may be relevant to the ongoing and realizable value of the investments. The amounts at which Clairvest's publicly-traded investments could be disposed of may differ from this fair value and the differences could be material. Differences could arise as the value at which significant ownership positions are sold is often different than the quoted market price due to a variety of factors such as premiums paid for large blocks or discounts due to illiquidity. Estimated costs of disposition are not included in the fair value determination. In the absence of an active market, the fair values are determined by management using the appropriate valuation methodologies after considering the history and nature of the business, operating results and financial conditions, the general economic, industry and market conditions, capital market and transaction market conditions, contractual rights relating to the investment, public market comparables, private market transaction multiples and, where applicable, other pertinent considerations. The process of valuing investments for which no active market exists is inevitably based on inherent uncertainties and the resulting values may differ from values that would have been used had an active market existed. The amounts at which Clairvest's privately-held investments could be disposed of may differ from the fair value assigned and the differences could be material. Estimated costs of disposition are not included in the fair value determination. A change to an estimate with respect to Clairvest's privately-held corporate investments or publicly-traded corporate investments would impact corporate investments and net investment gain. Recognition of carried interest and corresponding expenses The Company recognizes unrealized carried interest from Clairvest Equity Partners III and IV on its consolidated statements of financial position which is based on the fair values of the financial instruments held by those funds. As discussed previously, fair values of certain financial instruments are determined using valuation techniques which by their nature involve the use of estimates and assumptions. Changes in the underlying estimates and assumptions could materially impact the determination of the fair value of these financial instruments. Imprecision in determining fair value using valuation techniques may affect the calculation of carried interest receivable and the resulting accrued liabilities for future payouts relating to these carried interest receivables at the statement of financial position date. In accordance with IFRS 15, the Company would only recognize unrealized carried interest from Clairvest Equity Partners III and IV in the event a significant reversal during a future period is highly improbable. The unrealized carried interest from Clairvest Equity Partners V and VI and the amounts ultimately payable to the limited partners of the corresponding MIPs are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 10 and included in Corporate Investments. Deferred income taxes The process of determining deferred income tax assets and liabilities requires management to exercise judgment while considering the anticipated timing of disposal of corporate investments, and proceeds thereon, tax planning strategies, changes in tax laws and rates, and loss carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets are only recognized to the extent that in the opinion of management, it is probable that the deferred income tax asset will be realized. A change to an accounting estimate with respect to deferred income taxes would impact deferred income tax liability and income tax expense. Impact on COVID-19 on Significant Estimates On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. A number of the Company’s investee companies are located in jurisdictions or are in segments of the economy which have been severely impacted by COVID-19, where some have suffered a temporary 100% decline in revenue as a result of a shutdown of all non-essential businesses as mandated by the local or federal government. As a result, the fair value estimates of the Company’s corporate investments as at March 31, 2020 were impacted due to cash flow forecasts and risk premiums implied by equity and credit markets. These fair value estimates required significant judgment given the uncertainty regarding the long-term 19 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS As at, and for the year ended, March 31, 2020 June 24, 2020 impact of COVID-19 and the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s investee companies are unknown. If the duration or the spread of the pandemic, the related advisories and restrictions are significantly longer than the Company’s estimate, or the impact on the equity or credit markets or the economy in general is significantly worse than the Company’s estimate, the fair value of its corporate investments may be materially adversely affected resulting in a material adverse impact to the Company’s financial results. ADOPTION OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS Effective April 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16, Leases (“IFRS 16”) on a modified retrospective basis. The Company has identified that it has approximately $4.2 million in right of use assets and $4.2 million in lease liabilities which were identified from adoption of IFRS 16, and in accordance with transitional provisions, has chosen to not restate its comparative information. Accordingly, the comparative information continues to be presented in accordance with the Company’s previous accounting policy. Clairvest recognized right-of-use assets and their corresponding lease liabilities for all significant lease contracts. In applying IFRS 16, Clairvest has used the following practical expedients as permitted by the standard: 1) Operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at April 1, 2019 were treated as short- term leases under IFRS 16; and 2) Payments associated with leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES Clairvest is entitled to other various entitlements from its acquisition entities as described in note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. As at March 31, 2020, Clairvest had accounts receivable from its investee companies totalling $2.9 million, from CEP III totalling $0.3 million, from CEP IV totalling $37 thousand, from CEP IV-A totalling $27 thousand, from CEP V totalling $3.7 million, from CEP V India totalling $1.6 million, from CEP V-A totalling $4.6 million, from CEP VI totalling $3.5 million, from CEP VI-A totalling $4.8 million and CEP VI-B totalling $3.1 million. Additionally, acquisition entities of Clairvest which were not consolidated in accordance with IFRS held receivables from CEP V-A totalling $1.3 million. In addition, the Company advances loans to its acquisition entities, the CEP Funds and short-term loans to investee companies. During fiscal 2020, the Company advanced net loans of $10.3 million, such that $20.1 million in loans remained outstanding as at March 31, 2020. Further details are described in note 10(e) to the consolidated financial statements. As at March 31, 2020, Clairvest had advanced share purchase loans to certain employees of Clairvest totalling $2.7 million. The loans are interest bearing, have full recourse to the individual and are collateralized by the common shares of Clairvest owned by the employees with a market value of $3.3 million. None of these loans were made to key management. Interest of $63 thousand was earned on these loans during the year. Key management at Clairvest includes the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), the Vice Chairman, the President and its directors. The CEO and the President are entitled to annual discretionary cash bonuses of up to 175% of their individual annual salary based on individual performance. The Vice Chairman is entitled to annual discretionary cash bonuses of up to 100% of annual salary based on individual performance. There is also an annual objective cash bonus which is based on Clairvest's Incentive Bonus Program, the stock option plans, the BVAR Plan and the EDSU Plan. Total aggregate cash compensation paid under these plans to the CEO, the Vice Chairman, and the President during fiscal 2020 were $8.3 million. As at March 31, 2020, the total amounts payable to the CEO, the Vice Chairman, and the President under the aforementioned plans was $14.2 million. During fiscal 2020, no cash compensation was paid to directors under the BVAR, DSU or ADSU plans. As at March 31, 2020, the total amounts payable to the directors of Clairvest under the DSU, ADSU and Non-Voting Option plans was $15.8 million. During fiscal 2020, Clairvest earned $2.1 million in distributions and interest income, $1.2 million in dividend income and $1.5 million in advisory and other fees from its investee companies. Additionally, acquisition entities of Clairvest which were not consolidated in accordance with IFRS earned $8.8 million in distributions and interest income and $6.4 million in dividend income. 20 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS As at, and for the year ended, March 31, 2020 June 24, 2020 Clairvest and a related party of Clairvest, through a limited partnership, owns an aircraft that is available for use by both parties. Clairvest and the related party each hold a 50% limited partnership interest. As Clairvest, through a wholly- owned subsidiary, is the general partner of the limited partnership, Clairvest has recognized 100% of the net book value of the aircraft and a liability for the 50% ownership held by the related party. The cost of the aircraft had been included in fixed assets and the liability in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. OFF-STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ARRANGEMENTS Clairvest has committed a total of $55.5 million in various Wellington Financial funds, all of which was unfunded as at March 31, 2020. As a result of the sale of Wellington Financial to CIBC in January 2018, these Wellington Financial funds are in the process of being wound up and may no longer invest in new investments. Under Clairvest's Bonus Program, a bonus of 10% of after-tax cash income and realizations on certain Clairvest's corporate investments would be paid to management annually as applicable (the "Realized Amount"). As at March 31, 2020, the Realized Amount under the Bonus Program was $2.3 million and had been accrued under accrued compensation expense liability. In accordance with IFRS, Clairvest is also required to record a liability equal to a bonus of 10% of the after- tax cash income and realizations which are applicable, but which have yet to be realized. Accordingly, Clairvest also recorded a $2.3 million accrued compensation expense liability that would only be payable to management when the corresponding realization events have occurred. The Bonus Program does not apply to the income generated from investments made by Clairvest through CEP III Co-Invest, CEP IV Co-Invest, CEP V Co-Invest and CEP VI Co-Invest. In conjunction with the sale of Casino New Brunswick, Clairvest provided a guarantee which as at March 31, 2020 was $1.6 million to fund any valid claims made by the purchaser under the indemnity provisions of the sale for a specified period of time. Any funding pursuant to the guarantee will be allocated 25% to CEP III Co-Invest and 75% to CEP III. As at March 31, 2020, no amounts with respect to this guarantee had been funded. As part of the holding structure of Chilean Gaming Holdings, acquisition entities of CEP III Co-Invest had loans totalling $39.5 million as at March 31, 2019 from an unrelated financial institution, while another acquisition entity of CEP III Co-Invest held term deposits totalling $39.5 million as at March 31, 2019 with the same financial institution as security for these loans. The deposits were redeemed and used to repay the loans in full during fiscal 2020. Clairvest has guaranteed up to US$2.5 million to support SST’s credit facility with its bank. The guarantee is callable by the lender under certain circumstances and should it be called, Clairvest will assume the lender’s security position that supports the loans provided by the lender. Clairvest intends to allocate any amounts called under this guarantee to CEP VI Co‐Invest, CEP VI, CEP VI-A and CEP VI‐B on a pro‐rata basis in accordance with their respective capital commitments in the CEP VI Fund. As at March 31, 2020, the total contingent exposure under this guarantee is US$2.0 million, US$0.5 million of which would be assumed by CEP VI Co‐Invest if called. Any additional guarantee is subject to Clairvest’s consent at its sole discretion. As at March 31, 2020, the Company had an accrued liability resulting from future minimum annual lease payments for the use of office space totalling $4.5 million, of which $0.6 million is due within one year, $2.5 million is due after one year but not more than five years and $1.4 million is due after five years. In connection with its normal business operations, Clairvest is from time to time named as a defendant in actions for damages and costs allegedly sustained by plaintiffs. While it is not possible to estimate the outcome of the various proceedings at this time, Clairvest does not believe that it will incur any material loss in connection with such actions. RISK MANAGEMENT The private equity investment business involves accepting risk for potential return, and is therefore affected by a number of risk factors. These factors, categorized as market risk, investing process risk and other risks, are described below. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also have a material adverse effect on future business of the Company. 21 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS As at, and for the year ended, March 31, 2020 June 24, 2020 Market risk Fair Value risk Fair value risk includes exposure to fluctuations in the fair market value of the Company's investments. Included in corporate investments are investee companies for which the fair values have been estimated based on assumptions that may not be supported by observable market prices. The most significant unobservable inputs for fair value measurement are earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and the earnings multiple which is applied to the EBITDA in valuing each individual investee company. In determining the appropriate multiple, Clairvest considers i) public company multiples for companies in the same or similar businesses; ii) where information is known and believed to be reliable, multiples at which recent transactions in the industry occurred; and iii) multiples at which Clairvest invested directly or indirectly in the company, or for follow-on investments or financings. The resulting multiple is adjusted, if necessary, to take into account differences between the investee company and those the Company selected for comparisons and factors include public versus private company, company size, same versus similar business, as well as with respect to the sustainability of the company's earnings and current economic environment. Earnings multiples used are based on public company valuations as well as private market multiples for comparable companies. The potential effects to the carrying value of the Company’s investments are further described in note 18 to the consolidated financial statements. Clairvest may also use information with respect to recent transactions for valuations of private equity investments. When fair value is determined based on recent transaction information, this value is the most representative indication of fair value for a period of up to 12 months. The fair value of corporate bonds, debentures or loans is primarily determined using the discounted cash flow technique. This technique uses observable and unobservable inputs such as discount rates that take into account the risk associated with the investment as well as future cash flows. For those investments valued based on recent transactions, Clairvest has determined that there are no reasonable alternative assumptions that would change the fair value materially as at March 31, 2020. The Company's corporate investment portfolio was diversified across 17 investee companies in 10 industries and 5 countries as at March 31, 2020. The Company has considered current economic events indicators, including an estimate of the potential impact of COVID-19, in the valuation of its investee companies. Interest rate risk Fluctuations in interest rates affect the Company's income derived from its treasury funds. For financial instruments which yield a floating interest rate, the income received is directly impacted by the prevailing interest rate. The fair value of financial instruments which yield a fixed interest rate would change when there is a change in the prevailing market interest rate. The Company manages interest rate risk on its treasury funds by conducting activities in accordance with the fixed income securities policy that is approved by the Audit Committee. Management's application of these policies is regularly monitored by the Audit Committee. The potential effect on the Company’s treasury funds from fluctuations in interest rates are further described in note 17 to the consolidated financial statements. Certain of the Company's corporate investments are also held in the form of debentures and loans. Significant fluctuations in market interest rates can have a material impact on the carrying value of these investments. Currency risk The Company has implemented a hedging strategy because it has, directly and indirectly, several investments outside of Canada, currently in the United States, India, Chile and the United Kingdom. The Company has also advanced loans to investee companies which are denominated in foreign currency. In order to limit its exposure to changes in the value of foreign-denominated currencies relative to the Canadian dollar, Clairvest and its acquisition entities, subject to certain exceptions, entered into foreign exchange hedging positions against these foreign-denominated currencies. As at March 31, 2020, the Company’s foreign exchange exposure with respect to the CLP and with respect to its equity investment in India 22 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS As at, and for the year ended, March 31, 2020 June 24, 2020 are unhedged. Significant depreciation in value in these currencies could result in a material impact to the performance of Clairvest’s investment portfolio and the carried interest the Company could earn from the CEP Funds. A number of investee companies are subject to foreign exchange risk. A significant change in foreign exchange rates can have a significant impact on the profitability of these entities and in turn the Company's carrying value of these corporate investments, and could impact the carried interest the Company could earn from the CEP Funds. The Company manages this risk through oversight responsibilities with existing investee companies and by reviewing the financial condition of investee companies regularly. Commodity price risk Certain of Clairvest's investee companies may be subject to price fluctuations in commodities. Clairvest understands the risk of investing in cyclical industries which are largely tied to commodity prices and takes such risk into account in making these investments. The Company manages this risk through oversight responsibilities with existing investee companies and by reviewing the financial condition of investee companies regularly. Investing process risk Competition risk Clairvest and the CEP Funds compete for acquisition of investments with many other investors, some of which may have greater depth of investment experience in particular industries or segment or greater financial resources. There may be intense competition for investments in which Clairvest intends to invest, and such competition may result in less favorable investment terms than would otherwise be the case. There can, therefore, be no assurance that the investments ultimately acquired by Clairvest will meet all the investment objectives of Clairvest, or that Clairvest will be able to invest all of the capital it has committed to invest alongside the CEP Funds. The Company manages this risk through a disciplined approach to investing its capital and that of the CEP Funds and has strict investment policies where investments above a certain threshold require the approval of the Board of Directors. Uncompleted and unspecified investment risk The due diligence of each specific investment opportunity that Clairvest looks at and the negotiation, drafting and execution of the relevant agreements require substantial management time and attention and may incur substantial third-party costs. In the event that Clairvest elects not to complete a specific investment, the costs incurred up to that point for the proposed transaction are often not recoverable by Clairvest and the CEP Funds. Furthermore, in the event that Clairvest reaches an agreement relating to a specific investment, it may fail to complete such an investment for any number of reasons, including those beyond Clairvest's control. Any such occurrence could similarly result in a financial loss to Clairvest and the CEP Funds due to the inability to recoup any of the related costs incurred to complete a transaction. A shareholder must rely upon the ability of Clairvest's management in making investment decisions consistent with its investment objectives and policies. Shareholders will not have the opportunity to evaluate personally the relevant economic, financial and other information which is utilized by Clairvest in its selection of investments. Minority investment risk Clairvest and the CEP Funds may make minority equity investments in entities in which they do not legally control all aspects of the business or affairs of such entities. As at March 31, 2020, 8 of the 17 investments made by Clairvest were minority equity investments. In all investments, Clairvest monitors the performance of each investment, maintains an ongoing dialogue with each investee company's management team and seeks board representation and negative controls as conditions of each investment. 23 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS As at, and for the year ended, March 31, 2020 June 24, 2020 Gaming investment risk As at March 31, 2020, Clairvest's exposure to the gaming industry represented 22.3% of its net book value. These investments are subject to the risks of any other investment but have heightened exposure to political and regulatory risk whereby a change in the political or regulatory regime governing the gaming industry in a particular jurisdiction where Clairvest's gaming assets are located could have an impact on the ultimate returns of that investment. In addition, these investments may involve the construction of a gaming facility whereby not only is Clairvest underwriting the risk of completing the facility on budget, but it is also relying on forecasted gaming revenue, versus historical results, which is only a best estimate. While a project is in construction and for a specified period thereafter, the owners of a newly constructed gaming facility may have to guarantee some or all of the bank facility or agree to fund any operating shortfall. The Company manages this risk through oversight responsibilities with existing investee companies and by reviewing the financial condition of investee companies regularly. Historically, Clairvest has been able to manage all of these risks but past performance of Clairvest provides no assurance of future success. Risks upon sale of investments In connection with the disposition of an investee company, Clairvest and the CEP Funds may be required to make representations about the business and financial affairs of the business. Clairvest and the CEP Funds may also be required to indemnify the purchasers of such investee companies to the extent that any such representation turns out to be incorrect, inaccurate or misleading. Investment structure and taxation risks Clairvest structures its investments in a manner that is intended to achieve its investment objectives. There can be no assurance that the structure of any investment will be as tax efficient as designed or that any particular tax result will be achieved, due to unanticipated tax law changes or unforeseen circumstances during the planning phase of the tax structuring. Furthermore, Clairvest's returns in respect of its investments may be reduced by withholding or other taxes imposed by jurisdictions in which Clairvest's investee companies are organized. Other risks Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss occurring as a result of default of a counterparty on its obligations to the Company. For the year ended March 31, 2020, there were no material income effects on changes of credit risk on financial assets. The Company manages credit risk on corporate investments through thoughtful planning, strict investment criteria, significant due diligence of investment opportunities and oversight responsibilities with existing investee companies and by conducting activities in accordance with investment policies that are approved by the Board of Directors. Management's application of these policies is regularly monitored by the Board of Directors. Management and the Board of Directors review the financial condition of its investee companies regularly. The Company is also subject to credit risk on its accounts receivable and loans receivable, a significant portion of which are with its investee companies and its CEP Funds. The Company manages this risk through its oversight responsibilities with existing investee companies by reviewing their financial conditions regularly, and through its fiduciary duty as manager of the CEP Funds and by maintaining sufficient uncalled capital for the CEP Funds to settle obligations as they come due. The Company manages counterparty credit risk on derivative instruments by only contracting with counterparties which are Schedule 1 Canadian chartered banks. The Company manages credit risk on its treasury funds by conducting activities in accordance with the fixed income securities policy which is approved by the Audit Committee. The Company also manages credit risk by contracting with counterparties which are Schedule 1 Canadian chartered banks or through investment firms where Clairvest's funds 24 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS As at, and for the year ended, March 31, 2020 June 24, 2020 are segregated and held in trust for Clairvest's benefit. With respect to the other fixed income securities under temporary investments, the Company reviews the credit quality of the counterparties through underwriting information provided by agents or brokers which are specialized in brokering these investments and in each case the Company’s investment in these counterparties represents the most senior security in the counterparty’s capital structure. Management's application of these policies is regularly monitored by the Audit Committee. Management and the Audit Committee review credit quality of cash equivalents and temporary investments regularly. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. Financial obligations arising from off-statement of financial position arrangements have been previously discussed. Accounts payable, loans payable, and derivative instruments have maturities of less than one year. Management participation liability, share-based compensation liability, and amounts accrued under the Bonus Program are only due upon cash realization or completion of the respective vesting periods. Total unfunded commitments to co-invest alongside the CEP Funds, as described were $404.6 million as at March 31, 2020. The timing of any amounts to be funded under these commitments is dependent upon the timing of investment acquisitions, which are made at the sole discretion of the Company. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining a conservative liquidity position that exceeds all liabilities payable on demand. The Company invests treasury funds in liquid assets such that they are available to cover any potential funding commitments and guarantees. In addition, the Company maintains a $100.0 million credit facility which was undrawn as at March 31, 2020. As at March 31, 2020, Clairvest had treasury funds of $428.9 million and access to $100.0 million in credit to support its obligations and current and anticipated corporate investments. Clairvest also had access to $56.4 million in treasury funds held by its acquisition entities and $1.0 billion in uncalled committed third-party capital through the CEP Funds as at March 31, 2020 to invest along with Clairvest's capital. Conflicts of interest risk Clairvest's primary business is that of a private equity investor investing its own capital but it also manages third-party capital through the CEP Funds. In accordance with the various fund agreements for the CEP Funds, Clairvest is required to invest alongside the CEP Funds unless the relevant CEP Fund investor committee approves such an investment to be invested by Clairvest without the CEP Funds' participation. Accordingly, Clairvest shareholders may not realize the full benefit of Clairvest investment opportunities as such opportunities are required to be shared with the CEP Funds. Risk of CEP Fund Limited Partners' failure to meet capital calls The general partner of the CEP Funds is responsible to manage the affairs of the CEP Funds, which includes calling capital for investments made by the CEP Funds. If a limited partner of the CEP Funds fails to make the required capital contribution when due, Clairvest could be required to increase its investment under certain conditions. The general partner of the CEP Funds manages this risk through designing the terms of the CEP Funds appropriately and due diligence of potential limited partners of the CEP Funds prior to admitting them to the partnership. Minority shareholder risks As at March 31, 2020, Clairvest's Board of Directors and employees owned approximately 76% of Clairvest's common shares and the CEO owned or controlled over 50% of the total common shares of the Company. Accordingly, the CEO and other insider shareholders have the ability to exercise substantial influence with respect to Clairvest's affairs and can usually dictate the outcome of shareholder votes and may have the ability to prevent certain fundamental transactions. Accordingly, Clairvest shares may be less liquid and trade at a relative discount compared to circumstances where such large shareholders did not have the ability to significantly influence or determine matters affecting Clairvest. 25 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS As at, and for the year ended, March 31, 2020 June 24, 2020 DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company and its acquisition entities entered into foreign exchange forward contracts as economic hedges against the fair value of its foreign-denominated investments and loans in accordance with its foreign exchange hedging policy. Foreign exchange hedging activities during fiscal 2020 are further described in note 15 to the consolidated financial statements. DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING In accordance with National Instrument 52-109, "Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings", issued by the Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA"), Management has evaluated the effectiveness of Clairvest's disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020 and concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its corporate filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time period for the year then ended. National Instrument 52-109 also requires certification from the CEO and the Chief Financial Officer to certify their responsibilities for establishing and maintaining internal controls with regards to the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Management has evaluated Clairvest's design and operational effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting for the year ended March 31, 2020. Management has concluded that the design of internal controls over financial reporting were effective and operated as designed as at March 31, 2020 based on this evaluation. There were no changes in internal controls during the most recent interim period that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal controls over financial reporting. The Company has not identified any weakness that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS A number of the matters discussed in this MD&A deal with potential future circumstances and developments and may constitute "forward-looking" statements. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such because of the context of the statements and often include words such as the Company "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "plans", "estimates" or words of a similar nature. The forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include general and economic business conditions and regulatory risks. The impact of any one risk factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as such factors are interdependent upon other factors, and management's course of action would depend upon its assessment of the future, considering all information then available. All subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements should circumstances, management's estimates, or opinions change. REGULATORY FILINGS The Company's continuous disclosure materials, including interim filings, annual MD&A and audited consolidated financial statements, Annual Information Form, Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Circular are available on the Canadian System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") at www.sedar.com. 26 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS As at, and for the year ended, March 31, 2020 June 24, 2020 USE OF NON-IFRS MEASURES This MD&A contains references to "book value" and "book value per share" which are non-IFRS financial measures. Book value is calculated as the value of total assets less the value of total liabilities. Book value per share is calculated as book value divided by the total number of common shares of the Company outstanding as at a specific date. The terms book value and book value per share do not have any standardized meaning according to IFRS. There is no comparable IFRS financial measure presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements and thus no applicable quantitative reconciliation for such non-IFRS financial measure. The Company believes that the measure provides information useful to its shareholders in understanding our performance, and may assist in the evaluation of the Company's business relative to that of its peers. 27 MANAGEMENT’S REPORT The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Clairvest Group Inc. were prepared by management, which is responsible for the integrity and fairness of the financial information presented. These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. The financial information contained elsewhere in the annual report has been reviewed to ensure consistency with the consolidated financial statements. Management maintains a system of internal accounting controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, that transactions are properly authorized and that financial records are properly maintained to facilitate the preparation of financial statements in a timely manner. Under the supervision of management, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was carried out for the year ended March 31, 2020. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financing reporting was effective for the year ended March 31, 2020. The Board of Directors carries out its responsibility for the consolidated financial statements in this annual report principally through its Audit Committee. The Audit Committee, which comprised three non-management Directors during the year ended March 31, 2020, meets periodically with management and with external auditors to discuss the scope and results with respect to financial reporting of the Company. The Audit Committee has reviewed the consolidated financial statements with management and with the independent auditors. The consolidated financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors on the recommendation of the Audit Committee. Ernst & Young LLP, appointed external auditors by the shareholders, have audited the consolidated financial statements and their report is included herewith. B. Jeffrey Parr Vice Chairman Daniel Cheng Chief Financial Officer 28 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF CLAIRVEST GROUP INC. OPINION We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Clairvest Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). BASIS FOR OPINION We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. OTHER INFORMATION Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises: • Management’s Discussion and Analysis • The information, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, in the Annual Report Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANAGEMENT AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of 29 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process. AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: • • • • • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 30 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Gary Chin.

NATURE OF ACTIVITIES Clairvest Group Inc. ("Clairvest" or the "Company") is a private equity management firm that specializes in partnering with management teams and other stakeholders of both emerging and established companies. The Company's shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol CVG. The Company, which operates in only one business segment, actively seeks to form mutually beneficial investments with entrepreneurial businesses. As at March 31, 2020, Clairvest invests its own capital, and that of third parties, through Clairvest Equity Partners III Limited Partnership ("CEP III"), Clairvest Equity Partners IV Limited Partnership ("CEP IV"), Clairvest Equity Partners IV-A Limited Partnership ("CEP IV-A"), Clairvest Equity Partners V Limited Partnership ("CEP V"), CEP V HI India Investment Limited Partnership ("CEP V India"), Clairvest Equity Partners V-A Limited Partnership ("CEP V-A"), Clairvest Equity Partners VI Limited Partnership (“CEP VI”), Clairvest Equity Partners VI-A Limited Partnership (“CEP VI-A”) and Clairvest Equity Partners VI-B Limited Partnership (“CEP VI-B”) (together, the "CEP Funds"). CEP III, CEP IV and CEP IV-A are herein referred to as Clairvest Equity Partners III and IV. CEP V, CEP V India, CEP V-A, CEP VI, CEP VI-A and CEP VI-B are herein referred to as Clairvest Equity Partners V and VI. Clairvest contributes financing and strategic expertise to support the growth and development of its investee companies in order to create realizable value for shareholders. Clairvest is incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario. The Company's head office is located at 22 St. Clair Avenue East, Suite 1700, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M4T 2S3. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation and adoption of new accounting standard The consolidated financial statements of Clairvest are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). Effective April 1, 2019, the Company adopted IFRS 16, Leases on a modified retrospective basis. The Company has identified that it has approximately $4.2 million in right of use assets and $4.2 million in lease liabilities which were identified from adoption of IFRS 16, and in accordance with transitional provisions, has chosen to not restate its comparative information. Accordingly, the comparative information continues to be presented in accordance with the Company’s previous accounting policy. The Company recognized right-of-use assets and their corresponding lease liabilities for all significant lease contracts. In applying IFRS 16, the Company has used the following practical expedients as permitted by the standard: 1) Operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at April 1, 2019 were treated as short-term leases under IFRS 16; and 2) Payments associated with leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight- line basis as an expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Other than noted above, the Company has consistently applied the same accounting policies throughout all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, as if these policies had always been in effect. These consolidated financial statements and related notes of Clairvest for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 ("consolidated financial statements") were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on June 24, 2020. The consolidated financial statements have been presented on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000s), except where otherwise indicated. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements ("IFRS 10"), as issued by the IASB and include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. As discussed under critical accounting estimates and judgments, the Company has determined it meets the definition of an investment entity. Consolidated subsidiaries In accordance with IFRS 10, subsidiaries are those entities that provide investment-related services and that the Company controls by having the power to govern the financial and operating policies of these entities. Such entities 36 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2020 and 2019 (tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per share information) would include those which earn priority distributions or management fees from the CEP Funds and carried interest from Clairvest Equity Partners III and IV. All intercompany amounts and transactions amongst these consolidated entities have been eliminated upon consolidation. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable and shareholder agreements are considered when assessing whether the Company controls an entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Company and are subsequently deconsolidated from the consolidated financial statements on the date that control ceases. The following entities, which are significant in nature, do not meet the definition of an investment entity and provide investment-related services on behalf of the Company. Clairvest GP Manageco Inc. Clairvest GP (GPLP) Inc. CEP MIP GP Corporation Clairvest USA Limited Clairvest General Partner Limited Partnership Clairvest General Partner III Limited Partnership (“Clairvest GP III”) Clairvest General Partner IV Limited Partnership (“Clairvest GP IV”) Interests in unconsolidated subsidiaries ("acquisition entities") In accordance with IFRS 10, interests in subsidiaries other than those that provide investment-related services are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) rather than consolidating them. As discussed under critical accounting estimates and judgments, management exercised judgment when determining whether subsidiaries are investment entities. On November 22, 2019, the Company determined that Clairvest General Partner V Limited Partnership (“Clairvest GP V”) met the definition of an investment entity, as defined in IFRS 10. This change in status resulted from an amendment to the business purpose of Clairvest GP V for it to invest directly in CEP V Co-Investment Limited Partnership. As a result of this change in status, the assets and liabilities of Clairvest GP V have been derecognized from the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position and the Company’s investment in Clairvest GP V has been recognized in corporate investments as at November 22, 2019, with an initial fair value of $0.1 million. There was no material transition gain or loss on the change. Effective November 22, 2019, Clairvest GP V is considered an acquisition entity of Clairvest and investments made by Clairvest GP V in CEP V Co-Investment Limited Partnership are measured at FVTPL. The change in status of Clairvest GP V has been accounted for prospectively from November 22, 2019, in accordance with IFRS 10. The following entities, which are significant in nature, are controlled by Clairvest either directly or indirectly and are used as acquisition entities of the Company. The entities' principal place of business is in Canada. 37 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2020 and 2019 (tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per share information) 2141788 Ontario Corporation ("2141788 Ontario") 2486303 Ontario Inc. ("2486303 Ontario") CEP III Co-Investment Limited Partnership ("CEP III Co-Invest") MIP III Limited Partnership ("MIP III") CEP IV Co-Investment Limited Partnership ("CEP IV Co-Invest") MIP IV Limited Partnership ("MIP IV") CEP V Co-Investment Limited Partnership ("CEP V Co-Invest") Clairvest GP V MIP V Limited Partnership ("MIP V") CEP VI Co-Investment Limited Partnership (“CEP VI Co-Invest”) MIP VI Limited Partnership (“MIP VI”) Clairvest SLP VI Limited Partnership (“Clairvest SLP VI”) The Company may also use intermediate subsidiaries whose sole purpose is to hold investments for the Company, and therefore, are not included in the list above. Interests in the CEP Funds Clairvest manages and invests alongside the CEP Funds, which meet the definition of structured entities under IFRS. Clairvest provides loans to and earns priority distributions or management fees and carried interest from the CEP Funds, which are further described in notes 6 and 7. The Company concluded that its ownership interests in the CEP Funds do not meet the definition of control under IFRS. Accordingly, the financial positions and operating results of the CEP Funds and other funds it manages for certain co-investors are not included in Clairvest's consolidated financial statements. (a) Classification and recognition of financial instruments In accordance with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”), financial instruments classified as FVTPL would include cash and cash equivalents, temporary investments, loans receivable, derivative instruments and corporate investments. These financial instruments are classified at initial recognition at FVTPL on the basis that they are part of a group of financial assets that are managed and have their performance evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with risk management and investment strategies of the Company. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to its derivative instruments. Accounts receivable and other assets would include balances relating to its acquisition entities, indirect investee companies (“investee companies”) and the CEP Funds as well as other short‐term receivables. These receivable balances are recognized at amortized cost in accordance with IFRS 9. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are considered to be payable in respect of goods or services received up to the balance sheet date and are recognised at amortised cost in accordance with IFRS 9. (b) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. (c) Temporary investments and corporate investments The Company carries its temporary investments and its corporate investments at fair value. When a financial instrument is initially recognized, its fair value is generally the value of consideration paid or received. Acquisition costs relating to corporate investments are not included as part of the cost of the investment. Subsequent to initial recognition, the fair value of an investment quoted on an active market is generally the closing traded price on the principal exchange on which the investment is traded. Investments that are escrowed or otherwise restricted as to sale or transfer are recorded at a value which takes into account the escrow terms or other restrictions. In determining the fair value for such investments, the Company considers the nature and length of the restriction, business risk of the investee company, its stage of development, market potential, relative trading volume and price volatility and any other factors that may be relevant to the ongoing and realizable value of the investments. The amounts at which Clairvest's publicly traded investments could be disposed of may differ from this fair value and the differences could be material. 38 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2020 and 2019 (tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per share information) Differences could arise as the value at which significant ownership positions are sold is often different from the quoted market price due to a variety of factors such as premiums paid for large blocks or discounts due to illiquidity. Estimated costs of disposition are not included in the fair value determination. In the absence of an active market, the fair values are determined by management using the appropriate valuation methodologies after considering the history and nature of the business, operating results and financial conditions, the general economic, industry and market conditions, capital market and transaction market conditions, contractual rights relating to the investment, public market comparables, private company transaction multiples and, where applicable, other pertinent considerations. The process of valuing investments for which no active market exists is inevitably based on inherent uncertainties and the resulting values may differ from values that would have been used had an active market existed. The amounts at which Clairvest's privately held investments could be disposed of may differ from the fair value assigned and the differences could be material. Estimated costs of disposition are not included in the fair value determination. (d) Foreign currency translation Income and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars using exchange rates in effect as at the consolidated statement of financial position dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost are translated into Canadian dollars using the exchange rate at the date of transaction. Non- monetary assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are translated into Canadian dollars using exchange rates at the date the fair value was determined. Exchange gains and losses are included in income in the period in which they occur. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses on financial instruments classified as FVTPL are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income as part of net investment gain (loss). (e) Derivative instruments The Company and its acquisition entities enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge their exposure to exchange rate fluctuations on their foreign currency-denominated investments and loans. These foreign exchange forward contracts and their underlying investments and loans are valued at exchange rates in effect as at the consolidated statement of financial position dates. Foreign exchange forward contracts entered into by the Company are included in the consolidated statements of financial position as derivative instruments and are valued at fair value representing the estimated amount that the Company would have been required to pay, or received, had the Company settled the outstanding contracts as at the consolidated statement of financial position dates. Any unrealized gains or losses are included in finance and foreign exchange expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Foreign exchange forward contracts entered into by the Company's acquisition entities are included in the fair value determination of these acquisition entities. (f) Income recognition Realized gains or losses on disposition of corporate investments and change in unrealized gains or losses in the value of corporate investments are calculated based on weighted average cost and are included in net investment gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Management fees and advisory and other fees are recorded as income on an accrual basis when earned. Distributions and interest income are recognized on an accrual basis and dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Carried interest includes amounts receivable from Clairvest Equity Partners III and IV. Each Clairvest Equity Partners III and IV Fund is separately reviewed as at the consolidated statement of financial position date and an accrual for carried interest is made when the performance conditions are achieved in accordance with IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”) based on the assumption that the remaining underlying investments are realized at their estimated fair values. The fair value of the underlying investments is determined consistently with the Company’s valuation methodology and is measured as at the consolidated statement of financial position date. Carried interest is accrued only in the event that it is highly probable that there will not be a significant reversal in future financial periods. 39 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2020 and 2019 (tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per share information) (g) Income taxes Current income tax Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the countries where the Company and its acquisition entities operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate. Deferred income tax The Company records deferred income tax expense or recovery using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes reflect the expected deferred tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, as well as certain carryforward items. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined for each temporary difference based on the income tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the asset or liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are only recognized to the extent that, in the opinion of management, it is probable that the deferred income tax asset will be realized. (h) Stock-based compensation plans The Company's stock option plans allow for a cash settlement of stock options. As the economics to choose cash or shares as settlement is the same for all holders, compensation expense is recognized over the applicable vesting period and a corresponding liability is recorded based on the fair value of the outstanding stock options as at the consolidated statement of financial position dates. Fair value is measured by use of an appropriate option-pricing model. On the exercise of stock options for shares, the liability recorded with respect to the options and consideration paid by the employees is credited to share capital. On the exercise of stock options for cash, the liability recorded is reduced and any difference between the liability accrued and the amount paid is charged to share-based compensation expense. (i) Deferred share unit plans Directors of the Company may elect annually to receive all or a portion of their compensation in deferred share units ("DSUs") based on the closing price of a Clairvest common share on the date directors’ fees are payable. Upon redemption of DSUs, the Company pays to the participant a lump sum cash payment equal to the number of DSUs to be redeemed multiplied by the closing price of a Clairvest common share on the redemption date. A participant may redeem his or her DSUs only following termination of board service. Under the Company's DSU plan, a change to the fair value of the DSUs is charged to share-based compensation expense and recorded as a liability. Certain directors were also granted appreciation deferred share units ("ADSUs"). Upon redemption of the ADSUs, the Company pays to the participant a lump sum cash payment equal to the number of ADSUs to be redeemed multiplied by the difference between the closing price of a Clairvest common share on the redemption date and the closing price of a Clairvest common share on the grant date. A participant may redeem his or her ADSUs only following termination of board service. Under the Company's ADSU plan, a change to the fair value of the ADSUs is charged to share-based compensation expense and recorded as a liability. Certain employees of the Company may elect annually to receive all or a portion of their annual bonuses in employee deferred share units ("EDSUs"). The number of EDSUs granted to a participant is determined by dividing the amount of the elected bonuses to be received by way of EDSUs by the five-day volume-weighted average closing price of the Clairvest common shares. EDSUs may be redeemed for cash or for common shares of the Company. A participant may redeem his or her EDSUs only following termination of employment. Under the Company's EDSU plan, a change to the fair value of the EDSUs is charged to share-based compensation expense and recorded as a liability. (j) Book value appreciation rights plan The Company may elect to issue all or a portion of a participant's stock option grant by way of book value appreciation rights units ("BVARs"). Upon redemption of BVARs, the Company pays to the participant a lump sum cash payment equal to the number of BVARs to be redeemed multiplied by the increase in book value per share between the grant date and the redemption date, and grossed up such that the participant's after-tax proceeds equate to an amount as if 40 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2020 and 2019 (tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per share information) the proceeds were taxed at the capital gains rate. The BVARs vest over a five-year period and the participant may only redeem his or her BVARs at the earlier of (i) five years from the grant date or (ii) cessation of employment with the Company. Fair value of the BVARs is calculated based on the latest book value per share published at the time the value is being determined. As the Company's BVAR plan is a cash-settled plan, a change to the fair value of the BVARs is charged to share-based compensation expense and recorded as a liability. (k) Entitlements of partners of a limited partnership The Company consolidates subsidiaries which includes various limited partnerships and the entitlements of partners of these limited partnerships that are external to the consolidated group of the Company are recorded as a liability and an expense of the Company. Accordingly, that portion of the carried interest from Clairvest Equity Partners III and IV which are ultimately paid to the limited partners of the corresponding MIP partnerships which are external to the consolidated group are recorded as a management participation liability and a management participation expense on the consolidated financial statements. The amounts ultimately paid to the limited partners of the corresponding MIP Partnerships resulting from carried interest from Clairvest Equity Partners V and VI are accounted for at FVTPL. (l) Leases Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Each lease payment is allocated between the repayment of the lease liability and finance expenses. Finance expenses are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the lease period to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability for each period. The associated right-of-use assets were measured at an amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for previously recognized lease accruals, in accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 16, and comprised entirely real estate premises. The right-of-use assets are included within fixed assets in the consolidated statement of financial position and amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term. There was no impact to retained earnings on April 1, 2019 resulting from the adoption of IFRS 16. (m)Fixed assets Fixed assets are accounted for at cost less accumulated amortization. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term including reasonably assured renewal options. All other fixed assets are amortized on a straight-line basis at the following rates per year: Aircraft Computer equipment Computer software Furniture, fixtures and equipment Leasehold improvements Right-of-use asset 10% 30% 50% 20% Term of lease Term of lease The computer assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that a fixed asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, the Company estimates the fixed asset’s recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less cost of disposal and its value in use. When the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, the fixed asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. (n) Net income and comprehensive income per share Basic net income and comprehensive income per share is determined by dividing net income and comprehensive income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Fully diluted net income and comprehensive income per share are determined in accordance with the treasury stock method and is based on the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the year. 41 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2020 and 2019 (tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per share information) (o) Critical accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates could materially differ from the related actual results. The following estimates, assumptions and judgments have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next fiscal year: Determination of investment entity Judgment is required when making the determination that the Company or its various subsidiaries meet the definition of an investment entity under IFRS. In accordance with IFRS 10, an investment entity is an entity that: "obtains funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing them with investment management services, commits to its investors that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income, or both, and measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis." In addition, IFRS 10 clarifies that an investment entity may earn fee income from the provision of investment-related services to external parties. The Company has historically invested alongside third-party capital in the CEP Funds that it manages. In determining its status as an investment entity, the Company has determined that fair value is the primary measurement attribute used to monitor and evaluate its investments. Fair value of financial instruments Certain financial instruments are recorded in the Company's consolidated statements of financial position at values that are representative of or approximate fair value. The fair value of a financial instrument that is traded in active markets at each reporting date is determined by reference to its quoted market price or dealer price quotations. The fair values of certain other financial instruments are determined using valuation techniques. By their nature, these valuation techniques require the use of estimates and assumptions. Changes in the underlying estimates and assumptions could materially impact the determination of the fair value of a financial instrument. Imprecision in determining fair value using valuation techniques may affect net investment gain (loss) reported in a particular period. The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is any objective evidence to revise the fair values of its financial instruments. The assessment of the fair value of a financial instrument requires significant judgment, where management evaluates, among other factors, the financial health and business outlook of their investees. Fair value information is presented in note 17. Recognition of carried interest and corresponding expenses The determination of the Company's carried interest is recorded on the consolidated statements of financial position is based on the fair values of the financial instruments held by Clairvest Equity Partners III and IV. In accordance with IFRS 15, the calculated carried interest can only be recognized to the extent to which it is highly probable that there will not be a significant reversal when the relevant uncertainty is resolved. This judgement is made on a fund-by-fund basis, based on its specific circumstances, including consideration of: remaining duration of the fund, position in relation to the cash hurdle, the number of assets remaining in the fund and the potential for clawback. The actual amounts of carried interest received and paid will depend on the cash realizations of Clairvest Equity Partners III and IVs’ portfolio investments and valuations may change significantly in future financial periods. As discussed previously, fair values of certain financial instruments are determined using valuation techniques and by their nature, the use of estimates and assumptions. Changes in the underlying estimates and assumptions could materially impact the determination of the fair value of these financial instruments. Imprecision in determining fair value using valuation techniques may affect the calculation of carried interest and the resulting accrued liabilities for future payouts relating to the carried interest as at the consolidated statement of financial position dates. 42 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2020 and 2019 (tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per share information) Income taxes The determination of the Company's income and other tax liabilities requires interpretation of complex laws and regulations often involving multiple jurisdictions. Judgment is required in determining whether deferred income tax assets should be recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that the Company believes it is probable that the deferred income tax asset will be realized. Furthermore, deferred income tax balances are recorded using enacted or substantively enacted future income tax rates. Changes in enacted income tax rates are not within the control of management. However, any such changes in income tax rates may result in actual income tax amounts that may differ significantly from estimates recorded in deferred tax balances. Impact on COVID-19 on Significant Estimates On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. A number of the Company’s investee companies are located in jurisdictions or are in segments of the economy which have been severely impacted by COVID-19, where some have suffered a temporary 100% decline in revenue as a result of a shutdown of all non- essential businesses as mandated by the local or federal government. As a result, the fair value estimates of the Company’s corporate investments as at March 31, 2020 were impacted due to cash flow forecasts and risk premiums implied by equity and credit markets. These fair value estimates required significant judgment given the uncertainty regarding the long-term impact of COVID-19 and the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s investee companies are unknown. If the duration or the spread of the pandemic, the related advisories and restrictions are significantly longer than the Company’s estimate, or the impact on the equity or credit markets or the economy in general is significantly worse than the Company’s estimate, the fair value of its corporate investments may be materially adversely affected resulting in a material adverse impact to the Company’s financial results. 3. CASH EQUIVALENTS AND TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS Cash equivalents consist of deposits in investment and money market savings accounts which have maturities of less than 90 days from the date of acquisition. As at March 31, 2020, the pre-tax weighted average yield was 0.8% (2019 – 2.2%) per annum. As at March 31, 2020, temporary investments comprised guaranteed investment certificates, corporate bonds, marketable securities and other fixed income securities as permitted by the Company's treasury policy which in aggregate may not exceed 10% of book value and with no single issue greater than 1.5% of book value.

The Company has an EDSU plan which provides, among other things, that participants may elect annually to receive all or a portion of their annual bonus amounts that would otherwise be payable in cash in the form of EDSUs. EDSUs may be redeemed for cash or for common shares of the Company in accordance with the terms of the plan. Clairvest is required to reserve one common share for each EDSU issued under the EDSU Plan. The maximum number of Clairvest common shares reserved for the EDSU Plan is 200,000, which represented approximately 1.3% of the outstanding number of common shares as at March 31, 2020. During fiscal 2020, 29,047 (2019 – 27,893) EDSUs were issued based on the terms and conditions of the EDSU Plan. As at March 31, 2020, a total of 107,496 (2019 – 78,449) EDSUs were outstanding, the accrual in respect of which was $4.5 million (2019 – $3.7 million) had been included in share-based compensation liability.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The Company and its acquisition entities entered into foreign exchange forward contracts as economic hedges against the fair value of its foreign currency-denominated investments and loans in accordance with its foreign exchange hedging policy. During fiscal 2020, the Company paid $1.0 million (2019 – $8 thousand) on the settlement of realized foreign exchange forward contracts. As at March 31, 2020, the Company had an unexpired foreign exchange forward contract to sell US$11.2 million (2019 – nil) at an average rate of C$1.4141 per U.S. dollar (2019 – nil) through to April 2020. The fair value of the forward contract as at March 31, 2020 was a gain of $0.1 million (2019 – nil). The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts entered into by the Company’s acquisition entities to hedge against foreign-denominated investee companies had been included in the fair value of Clairvest's investment in these acquisition entities on the consolidated statements of financial position. The net impact of foreign exchange on the investee companies are described in note 5 and 17 under Currency Risk. No collateral was funded to the counterparties for Clairvest's foreign exchange forward contracts and those of its acquisition entities as at March 31, 2020 and 2019. 16. CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES (a) Clairvest has committed a total of $55.5 million (2019 – $55.5 million) in the Wellington Funds, all of which was unfunded as at March 31, 2020 and 2019. As a result of the sale of Wellington Financial to CIBC in January 2018, the Wellington Funds are in the process of being wound up and may no longer invest in new investments. (b) Under Clairvest's Bonus Program, a bonus of 10% of after-tax cash income and realizations on certain of Clairvest's corporate investments would be paid to management annually as applicable (the "Realized Amount"). As at March 31, 2020, the Realized Amount under the Bonus Program was $2.3 million (2019 − $7.0 million) and had been accrued under accrued compensation expense liability. In accordance with IFRS, Clairvest is also required to record a liability equal to a bonus of 10% of the after-tax cash income and realizations which are applicable, but which have yet to be realized. Accordingly, Clairvest recorded a $2.3 million (2019 − $2.8 million) accrued compensation expense liability that would only be payable to management when the corresponding realization events have occurred. The Bonus Program does not apply to the income generated from investments made by Clairvest through CEP III Co-Invest, CEP IV Co-Invest, CEP V Co-Invest and CEP VI Co-Invest. (c) In conjunction with the sale of Casino New Brunswick, Clairvest provided a guarantee which as at March 31, 2020 was $1.6 million (2019 – $1.8 million) to fund any valid claims made by the purchaser under the indemnity provisions of the sale for a specified period of time. Any funding pursuant to the guarantee will be allocated 25% to CEP III Co-Invest and 75% to CEP III. As at March 31, 2020 and 2019, no amounts with respect to this guarantee have been funded. (d) As part of the holding structure of Chilean Gaming Holdings, acquisition entities of CEP III Co-Invest had loans totalling $39.5 million as at March 31, 2019 from an unrelated financial institution, while another acquisition entity of CEP III Co- Invest held term deposits totalling $39.5 million as at March 31, 2019 with the same financial institution as security for these loans. During fiscal 2020, the deposits were redeemed and used to repay the loan in full. (e) Clairvest has agreed to guarantee up to US$2.5 million to support SunSystem Technology’s credit facility with its bank. The guarantee is callable by the lender under certain circumstances and should it be called, Clairvest will assume the lender’s security position that supports the loans provided by the lender. Clairvest intends to allocate any amounts called under this guarantee to CEP VI Co‐Invest, CEP VI, CEP VI-A and CEP VI‐B on a pro‐rata basis in accordance with 62 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2020 and 2019 (tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per share information) their respective capital commitments in the CEP VI Fund. As at March 31, 2020, the total contingent exposure under this guarantee is US$2.0 million, US$0.5 million of which would be assumed by CEP VI Co‐Invest if called. Any additional guarantee is subject to Clairvest’s consent at its sole discretion. (f) As at March 31, 2020, the Company had an accrued liability resulting from future minimum annual lease payments for the use of office space. The detail of the lease liability recognized from April 1, 2019 is as follows: $000's Operating lease commitment disclosed as at March 31, 2019 Discount of future lease payments Lease liability recognized as at April 1, 2019 Payments applied from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020 Lease liability as at March 31, 2020 (1) As at March 31, 2020, the incremental borrowing rate was prime plus 1.25% per annum (April 1, 2019 - Prime plus 1.25%) $ $ 5,144 (969) 4,175 (414) 3,761 (g) In connection with its normal business operations, the Company is from time to time named as a defendant in actions for damages and costs allegedly sustained by plaintiffs. While it is not possible to estimate the outcome of the various proceedings at this time, the Company does not believe that it will incur any material loss in connection with such actions. 17. RISK MANAGEMENT The private equity investment business involves accepting risk for potential return, and is therefore affected by a number of risk factors. Fair value risk Fair value risk includes exposure to fluctuations in the fair market value of the Company’s investments as described in note 18. The Company's corporate investment portfolio was diversified across 17 investee companies in 10 industries and 5 countries as at March 31, 2020. Concentration risk by industry and by country as at March 31, 2020 and 2019 was as follows: March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019 Canada United States International(1) Total Canada United States International(1) Total Dental services $ — $ 16,636 $ — $ 16,636 $ Equipment rental Financial services Gaming Information technology Marketing services Renewable energy Residential services Specialty aviation and defence services Waste management Other investments — 3,009 2,914 — — — 6,375 81,016 — 50 7,102 — 72,594 8,602 7,471 18,523 — — 27,117 5,207 — — 7,102 3,009 110,976 186,484 8,602 7,471 18,523 6,375 — — — — — — — 81,016 56,687 27,117 5,257 — 355 — $ — 22,634 17,323 — — — 6,375 — $ — $ — — 54,591 7,016 10,055 12,463 — — 43,390 3,254 — — 105,405 — — — — — — — — — 22,634 177,319 7,016 10,055 12,463 6,375 56,687 43,390 3,609 Total $ 93,364 $ 163,252 $ 110,976 $ 367,592 $ 103,374 $ 130,769 $ 105,405 $ 339,548 (1) Includes investments in Chile, India and the UK 63 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2020 and 2019 (tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per share information) The Company has considered current economic events and indicators, including an estimate on the impact of COVID-19, in the valuation of its investee companies. Interest rate risk Fluctuations in interest rates affect the Company's income derived from its cash, cash equivalents and temporary investments ("treasury funds"). For financial instruments which yield a floating interest rate, the income received is directly impacted by the prevailing interest rate. The fair value of financial instruments which yield a fixed interest rate would change when there is a change in the prevailing market interest rate. The Company manages interest rate risk on its treasury funds by conducting activities in accordance with the fixed income securities policy that is approved by the Audit Committee. Management's application of these policies is regularly monitored by the Audit Committee. As at March 31, 2020, $270.9 million (2019 - $285.9 million) of the Company’s treasury funds are held in accounts which pay interest commensurate with prime rate changes, and $127.4 million (2019 - $126.2 million) of the Company’s treasury funds are in guaranteed investment certificates with an average remaining duration of 0.6 years (2019 – 0.7 years). If interest rates were higher or lower by 1% per annum, and assuming the renewal rates of these guaranteed investment certificates commensurate with prime rate changes, the potential effect would have been an increase of $4.0 million (2019 – $4.4 million) per annum or decrease of $4.0 million (2019 – $4.3 million) per annum to distributions and interest income on a pre-tax basis. Certain of the Company's investments in the investee companies are also held in the form of debentures and loans. Significant fluctuations in market interest rates can have a significant impact on the carrying value of these investments as described in note 18. Currency risk The Company has implemented a hedging strategy because it has, directly and indirectly, several investments outside of Canada, currently in the United States, India, Chile and the United Kingdom. The Company may also advance loans to investee companies which are denominated in foreign currency. In order to limit its exposure to changes in the value of foreign-denominated currencies relative to the Canadian dollar, Clairvest and its acquisition entities, subject to certain exceptions, entered into hedging positions against these foreign-denominated currencies. As at March 31, 2020, the Company foreign exchange exposure with respect to the CLP and with respect to its equity investment in India are unhedged. Significant depreciation in value in these currencies could result in a material impact to the performance of Clairvest’s investment portfolio and potentially the carried interest it could earn from the CEP Funds. A number of investee companies are subject to foreign exchange risk. A significant change in foreign exchange rates can have a significant impact on the profitability of these entities and in turn the Company's carrying value of these investee companies. The Company manages this risk through oversight responsibilities with existing investee companies and by reviewing the financial condition of investee companies regularly. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss occurring as a result of default of a counterparty on its obligations to the Company. For the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no material income effects on changes of credit risk on financial assets. The carrying values of financial assets subject to credit exposure as at March 31, 2020 and 2019, net of any allowances for losses, were as follows: 64 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2020 and 2019 (tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per share information) March 31, 2020 Acquisition entities Clairvest Total Clairvest March 31, 2019 Acquisition entities $ Financial assets Cash and cash equivalents Temporary investments Accounts receivable(1) Loans receivable(2) Derivative instruments Corporate investments(3) 272,938 137,954 27,863 11,855 85 – 450,695 (1) Account receivable from investee companies or the CEP Funds.

Management's application of these policies is regularly monitored by the Board of Directors. Management and the Board of Directors review the financial condition of its investee companies regularly. The Company is also subject to credit risk on its accounts receivable and loans receivable, a significant portion of which are with its investee companies and its CEP Funds. The Company manages this risk through its oversight responsibilities with existing investee companies by reviewing their financial conditions regularly, and through its fiduciary duty as Manager of the CEP Funds and by maintaining sufficient uncalled capital for the CEP Funds to settle obligations as they come due. The Company manages counterparty credit risk on derivative instruments by only contracting with counterparties which are Schedule 1 Canadian chartered banks. As at March 31, 2020, the Company held derivative instruments which had a net mark-to-market gain of $0.1 million (2019 – nil). Additionally, the Company's acquisition entities held derivative instruments which had a net mark-to-market loss of $11.4 million (2019 – $1.6 million). The Company believes the counterparty risk with respect to its acquisition entities' derivative instruments is nominal. The Company manages credit risk on its treasury funds by conducting activities in accordance with the fixed income securities policy which is approved by the Audit Committee. The Company also manages credit risk by contracting with counterparties which are Schedule 1 Canadian chartered banks or through investment firms where Clairvest's funds are segregated and held in trust for Clairvest's benefit. With respect to the other fixed income securities under temporary investments, the Company reviews the credit quality of the counterparties through underwriting information provided by agents or brokers which are specialized in brokering these investments and in each case the Company’s investment in these counterparties represents the most senior security in the counterparty’s capital structure. Management's application of these policies is regularly monitored by the Audit Committee. Management and the Audit Committee review credit quality of cash equivalents and temporary investments regularly. 65 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2020 and 2019 (tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per share information) The credit ratings, based on the Dominion Bond Rating Services rating scale, with the exception of corporate bonds and loans which are based on Standard & Poor's rating scale, were as follows: Cash Money market savings accounts R1-High R1-Low March 31, 2020 March 31, 2019 Clairvest $ 270,984 Acquisition entities 29,769 Clairvest Total 300,753 $ 287,610 Acquisition entities 28,115 Total 315,725 389 235 279 — 668 235 283 — 154 — 437 — Guaranteed investment certificates and investment savings accounts AA A+ A A-(1) BB+(1) BB-(1) BBB-(1) Not rated(1) Corporate bonds A+ A 122,093 — 5,909 311 — 105 210 105 3,012 — 16,195 — — — — — 102 306 138,288 — 5,909 311 — 105 312 411 107,618 102 18,110 513 102 102 306 407 10,465 — 5,790 406 — — — — 118,083 102 23,900 919 102 102 306 407 — — 3,012 — 2,997 3,006 — — 2,997 3,006 Other fixed income securities Not rated(3) Total cash, cash equivalents and fixed income securities 7,539 $ 410,892 9,781 56,432 17,320 31,169 467,324 $ 452,325 3,007 47,937 34,176 500,262 (1) Principal protected by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. Financial obligations arising from off-statement of financial position arrangements have been previously discussed. Accounts payable, loans payable, and derivative instruments have maturities of less than one year. Management participation liability, share-based compensation liability, and amounts accrued under the Bonus Program are only due upon cash realization or completion of the respective vesting periods. Total unfunded commitments to co-invest alongside the CEP Funds, as described were $404.6 million (2019 – $122.0 million) as at March 31, 2020. The timing of any amounts to be funded under these commitments is dependent upon the timing of investment acquisitions, which are made at the sole discretion of the Company. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining a conservative liquidity position that exceeds all liabilities payable on demand. The Company invests treasury funds in liquid assets such that they are available to cover any potential funding commitments and guarantees. In addition, the Company maintains a $100.0 million (2019 – $100.0 million) credit facility which was undrawn as at March 31, 2020. As at March 31, 2020, Clairvest had treasury funds of $410.9 million (2019 – $452.3 million) and access to $100.0 million (2019 – $100.0 million) in credit to support its obligations and current and anticipated corporate investments. Clairvest also had access to $56.4 million (2019 – $47.9 million) in treasury funds held by its acquisition entities and $1.0 billion (2019 – $286.2 million) in uncalled committed third-party capital through the CEP Funds as at March 31, 2020 to invest along with Clairvest's capital. 66 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2020 and 2019 (tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per share information) 18. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Cash, cash equivalents, temporary investments, loans receivable, corporate investments, and derivative instruments are carried at fair value in accordance with the Company's accounting policy as described in note 2(c) to the consolidated financial statements. All other financial instruments, including receivables and payables, are short-term in nature. (a) Fair value hierarchy The Company classifies financial instruments measured at FVTPL according to the following hierarchy, based on the lowest level of significant input used in measuring fair value. Level Level 1 Level 2 Fair value input description Financial instruments Quoted prices (unadjusted) from active markets Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) Quoted equity instruments Quoted corporate bonds Money market and investment savings accounts Quoted equity instruments which are not actively traded (i.e. significant ownership positions) Guaranteed investment certificates Quoted corporate bonds or loans which are not actively traded Level 3 Inputs that are not based on observable market data Unquoted equity instruments or partnership units Corporate bonds, debentures or loans not traded The following table presents the financial instruments measured at fair value classified by the fair value hierarchy: March 31, 2020 Fair value measurements using Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets/liabilities at fair value Financial assets Cash equivalents Money market savings accounts $ 423 $ Investment savings accounts Temporary investments Guaranteed investment certificates Corporate bonds Marketable securities Other fixed income securities Derivative instruments Corporate investments 25,894 26,317 — — 17,964 — 17,964 127,403 3,012 — — 130,415 — 85 $ — — — $ — — — 423 25,894 26,317 127,403 3,012 17,964 7,539 155,918 85 — — — 7,539 7,539 — $ — 44,281 $ 50,619 181,119 $ 349,672 357,211 $ 400,291 582,611 67 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2020 and 2019 (tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per share information) Financial assets Cash equivalents Money market savings accounts Investment savings accounts Temporary investments Guaranteed investment certificates Corporate bonds Other fixed income securities March 31, 2019 Fair value measurements using Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets/liabilities at fair value $ $ 283 26,354 26,637 $ — — — — — — — 126,231 6,003 — 132,234 $ — — — — — 31,169 31,169 283 26,354 26,637 126,231 6,003 31,169 163,403 Corporate investments $ — 26,637 $ 19,679 151,913 $ 346,600 377,769 $ 366,279 556,319 For financial instruments that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole at the end of each reporting period. Transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred at the date of event. During fiscal 2020, the Company transferred the fair value pertaining to its investment in CIBC common shares to level 1 from level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the sale restriction expired. Also during fiscal 2020, the Company transferred the fair value pertaining to its investment in Accel Entertainment to level 2 from level 3 of the fair value hierarchy upon completion of the business combination described in note 5. (b) Level 3: Reconciliation between opening and closing balances The following table presents the changes in fair value measurements for instruments included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy set out in IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement: Fair value April 1, 2019 Transfer to (from) level 3 Amount included in earnings Purchases of assets / issuances of liabilities Sales of assets / settlements of liabilities Fair value March 31, 2020 Financial assets Other fixed income securities Corporate investments Financial assets Other fixed income securities Corporate investments $ $ $ $ 31,169 $ 346,600 377,769 $ — $ (50,619) (50,619) $ (2) $ 20,154 20,152 $ — $ 57,524 57,524 $ (23,628) $ (23,987) (47,615) $ 7,539 349,672 357,211 Fair value April 1, 2018 Transfer to (from) level 3 Amount included in earnings Purchases of assets / issuances of liabilities Sales of assets / settlements of liabilities Fair value March 31, 2019 17,305 $ 494,994 512,299 $ — $ — — $ 86 $ (121,688) (121,602) $ 14,575 $ 15,104 29,679 $ (797) $ (41,810) (42,607) $ 31,169 346,600 377,769 68 Range Range NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2020 and 2019 (tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per share information) (c) Level 3: Fair value measurement based on reasonably possible alternative assumptions While Clairvest considers its fair value measurements to be appropriate, the use of reasonably possible alternative assumptions could result in different fair values. On a given measurement date, it is possible that other market participants could measure a same financial instrument at a different fair value, with the valuation techniques and inputs used by these market participants still meeting the definition of fair value. The fact that different fair value measurements exist reflects the judgment, estimates and assumptions applied as well as the uncertainty involved in determining the fair value of these financial instruments. Included in corporate investments are investee companies (refer to note 5) for which the fair values have been estimated based on assumptions that are not supported by observable inputs. The following tables present quantitative information on the primary valuation techniques and unobservable inputs based on the form of investment: March 31, 2020 Unquoted equity warrants) or partnership units instruments (including Public comparables Valuation techniques Significant unobservable input and company (a) EBITDA Earnings (c) 3.9x to 9.2x Recent transactions multiples (b) (a) n/a (b) n/a Corporate bonds, debentures or loans not traded or other finite set of cash flows Discounted cash flows Discount rates (c) 6.0% to 20.0% March 31, 2019 Unquoted equity warrants) or partnership units instruments (including Public comparables Valuation techniques Significant unobservable input and company (d) EBITDA Earnings (f) 3.5x to 9.0x Recent transactions multiples (e) (d) n/a (e) n/a Corporate bonds, debentures or loans not traded or other finite set of cash flows Discounted cash flows Discount rates (f) 6.0% to 20.0% The most significant unobservable input for fair value measurement are earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and the earnings multiple which is applied to the EBITDA in valuing each individual investee company. In determining the appropriate multiple, Clairvest considers (i) public company multiples for companies in the same or similar businesses; (ii) where information is known and believed to be reliable, multiples at which recent transactions in the industry occurred; and (iii) multiples at which Clairvest invested directly or indirectly in the company, or for follow-on investments or financings. The resulting multiple is adjusted, if necessary, to take into account differences between the investee company and those the Company selected for comparisons and factors include public versus private company, company size, same versus similar business, as well as with respect to the sustainability of the company's earnings and current economic environment, including an estimate of the potential impact of COVID-19. As at March 31, 2020, 10 investee companies were valued using the earnings multiple approach. If the Company had used an earnings multiple for each investee company that was higher or lower by 0.5 times, the potential effect would be an increase of $18.0 million or decrease of $16.3 million to the carrying value of corporate investments and net change in unrealized gains or losses on corporate investments, on a pre-tax basis for the year ended March 31, 2020 (2019 – increase of $16.8 million or decrease of $16.8 million). Earnings multiples used are based on public company valuations as well as private market multiples for comparable companies. Earnings are based on the last twelve-month EBITDA and if necessary, adjusted for any non-recurring items such as, restructuring expenses and annualized pro-forma adjustments from recently completed acquisitions. Adjustments to EBITDA may also consider forecasted impacts arising from the current economic environment or recent developments of the investee company. Clairvest may also use information about recent transactions carried out in the market for valuations of private equity investments. When fair value is determined based on recent transaction information, this value is the most 69 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2020 and 2019 (tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per share information) representative indication of fair value for a period of up to 12 months. The fair value of corporate bonds, debentures or loans is primarily determined using a discounted cash flow technique. This technique uses observable and unobservable inputs such as discount rates that take into account the risk associated with the investment as well as further cash flows. For those investments valued based on recent transactions, Clairvest has determined that there are no reasonable alternative assumptions that would change the fair value materially as at March 31, 2020 and 2019. 19. CAPITAL DISCLOSURES Clairvest considers the capital it manages to be shareholders' equity. Clairvest also manages capital held in acquisition entities, the third-party capital committed or invested in the CEP Funds and co-investments made by other investors. Clairvest's objectives in managing capital are to: - - - - Preserve a financially strong company with substantial liquidity to pursue new acquisitions and growth opportunities as well as to support its operations and the growth of its existing investee companies; Achieve an appropriate risk adjusted return on capital; Build long-term value in its investee companies to generate superior returns; and Have appropriate levels of committed third-party capital available to invest alongside Clairvest's capital. The management of third-party capital also provides management fees and/or priority distributions to Clairvest and the ability to enhance Clairvest's returns by offsetting a portion of its operating costs and by earning a carried interest. As at March 31, 2020 and 2019, Clairvest had no external capital requirements, other than as disclosed in note 16. 20. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Since the outbreak of COVID-19, emergency measures taken in response to the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in significant disruption to business operations globally, resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity and capital markets have also experienced significant volatility and weakness. The governments have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. These developments are constantly evolving, and the duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time but could have a material impact on the future financial results of the Company. In the face of the current environment of heightened uncertainty, the Company continues to closely monitor its investee companies and its treasury funds. Subsequent to year end, CEP VI Co-Invest and the CEP VI Fund invested US$30.2 million to acquire the solar operations and maintenance business of SunPower Corporation. Upon closing the business was renamed as NovaSource Power Services (“NovaSource”). CEP VI Co-Invest invested US$9.2 million (C$13.0 million) for a 29.2% ownership interest in NovaSource. Also subsequent to year end, CEP VI Co-Invest and the CEP VI Fund invested US$10.0 million in Arrowhead Environmental Partners (“AEP”), a non-hazardous waste-by-rail operator in Northeastern United States markets. CEP VI Co- Invest invested US$2.7million (C$3.7M) in AEP in the form of 2,706 Class A preferred units representing a 11.3% ownership interest. 70 SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION As at, and for the year ended, March 31, 2020 (unaudited) SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATION Clairvest has both the obligation and desire to provide its shareholders with full and continuous disclosure, on a timely basis, throughout the fiscal year.
