Corporate Governance

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors did not hold any formal meetings during the year ended December 31, 2011.

As of the date hereof, Globalwise is a smaller reporting company with a small number of directors and officers who have active roles in our operations. As a result, we do not have a standing compensation or nominating committee, nor do we have an audit committee with an audit committee financial expert serving on that committee. Our entire board of directors acts as our compensation, nominating, and audit committee. After the change in the board of directors that is expected to occur on the Appointment Date, it is anticipated that the board of directors will form separate compensation and audit committees, with the audit committee including an audit committee financial expert.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Although we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined, we have determined that at this time, it is in the best interests of Globalwise and its shareholders to separate these roles. Mr. Santiago is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. A. Michael Chretien will be our Chairman of the Board. We believe it is in the best interests of Globalwise to have the roles separated because it allows us to separate the strategic and oversight roles within our board structure.

3

Our board of directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The board of directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel and others, as considered appropriate regarding Globalwise’s assessment of risks. Management keeps our board apprised of material risks and provides our directors access to all information necessary for them to understand and evaluate how these risks interrelate, how they affect Globalwise, and how management addresses those risks. The board of directors focuses on the most significant risks facing Globalwise and Globalwise’s general risk management strategy. While the board oversees Globalwise, Globalwise’s management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing Globalwise and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.

Board Diversity

While we do not have a formal policy on diversity, our board considers diversity to include the skill set, background, reputation, type and length of business experience of our board members, as well as a particular nominee’s contributions to that mix. Although there are many other factors, the board seeks individuals with industry knowledge and experience, senior executive business experience, and legal and accounting skills.

Board Independence

Neither of our two directors is independent. We have not yet made a determination regarding the independence of the five additional directors that we expect will be appointed on the Appointment Date.

Shareholder Communications

Shareholders may contact our board of directors by mail addressed to the entire board of directors, or to one or more individual directors, in care of Intellinetics, Inc., 2190 Dividend Drive, Columbus, Ohio 43228. All communications directed to our board of directors or individual directors in this manner will be relayed to the intended recipients.

DIRECTOR AND OFFICER COMPENSATION

Officer Compensation

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to compensation for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 earned by or paid to Intellinetics’ President and Chief Executive Officer and its two other most highly compensated executive officers in 2011 (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”).

Director Compensation

Neither the directors of Globalwise nor the directors of Intellinetics received compensation for services rendered as a director during the year ended December 31, 2011.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires Globalwise’s directors and officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of Globalwise’s equity securities, to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of Globalwise’s securities with the SEC on Forms 3, 4 and 5. Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish Globalwise with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on Globalwise’s review of the copies of the forms received by it and written representations that no other reports were required, Globalwise believes that no person who, at any time during such fiscal year, was a director, officer or beneficial owner of more than 10% of Globalwise’s common stock failed to comply with all Section 16(a) filing requirements during such fiscal year.
