Los Angeles, CA – June 26, 2023
– Clean Vision Corporation (the “Company” or “Clean Vision”), parent company of its wholly owned subsidiaries,
Clean-Seas, Inc. (“C-S” or “Clean Seas” and “EcoCell”), today issued the following letter from its
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dan Bates.
Dear Clean Vision Shareholders,
The first half of 2023 reflects the business
traction we have achieved through three years of hard work establishing the Company’s foundation, and we expect this progress to
continue and expand. This diligent effort has brought us to an inflection point, where we no longer see our Company as a scrappy start-up,
trying to find our way in the world of sustainability. We are now moving Clean Vision to a position of solid business fundamentals with
a focus on attacking global waste plastic issues and revenue generation as is discussed below. In doing so, the Company is being recognized
for its work with new deal flow and business opportunities.
Clean-Seas, our wholly owned subsidiary
that is helping to solve the world’s plastic waste problem, has spent the better part of the past three years working the challenges
and the related business opportunities created by China’s National Sword (“National Sword”) policy implemented on January
1, 2018. National Sword banned the importation of many recyclables, including waste plastics, and other
nations followed suit, resulting in a build-up of waste plastics throughout the world. This precipitated a global crisis, whereby
developed countries no longer had an inexpensive or convenient outlet for their recyclable material.
In establishing the patent-pending Plastic
Conversion Network (“PCN”), Clean-Seas has created an opportunity to relieve the pressure presented by National Sword on
the world’s waste plastic problems. We have leveraged pre-existing relationships and developed many more, both domestically and
internationally, in order to stand up what we believe will be a game-changing business, focused on plastic pollution. We have established
relationships with preferred pyrolysis technology vendors and feedstock suppliers across the globe, and I firmly believe that we now
have all the pieces in place to provide a valuable service to countries, states, municipalities, corporations, and multinational petrochemical
companies.
And this belief is being recognized.
The Tipping Point – Clean-Seas
Our facility in Hyderabad, India, in association
with the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (“IICT”), is working on perfecting a process for converting plastic feedstock
into clean hydrogen. The visibility of this project throughout India and the collaborative work we have done with the Hyderabad Marathon
has led to opportunities throughout the country. We are very excited to begin developing these projects in the world’s second most
populous country which, like all other countries, has an enormous plastic problem.
This past May, we announced the completion
of our acquisition of a 51% equity interest of Ecosynergie Group in Agadir, Morocco (“Ecosynergie”) and the establishment
of Clean-Seas Morocco. Clean-Seas Morocco is our first commercial facility and began operations in May 2023. Clean-Seas Morocco is currently
converting 20 tons per day (TPD) of plastic feedstock and plans to expand to 70TPD in July of this year. Current expectations are to
add another 50TPD in October, bringing the total to 120TPD. The two 50TPD units operated by Clean-Seas Morocco were purchased by Ecosynergie
and were included as part of the acquisition. We expect that as we reach 120TPD before the end of this year the facility will be generating
approximately $1M USD per month. In order to expand the facility to 500TPD, Clean-Seas Morocco will need additional capital for technology,
infrastructure and labor to support its growth. We expect to secure this capital in the form of project finance, ESG funding or potentially
launching a green bond, all of which can provide the needed capital to scale operations without diluting our shareholders.

Closer to home, we have announced projects
in West Virginia and Arizona. Clean-Seas West Virginia was recently established to stand up our facility in Quincy, West Virginia. We
have located a site for our project on 10 acres of land which includes a 40,000 square-foot facility from which we currently plan to
launch our 100TPD facility, our first PCN hub for the mid-Atlantic states. The state of West Virginia has offered us a generous $12m+
incentive package, which includes $1.75m in a forgivable loan as long as 40 jobs are created at this site within 3 years of operations.
We anticipate that the total cost to secure the land, facility and fund this project will be approximately $50M USD. While we have not
yet secured a financing source, we are in the process of seeking debt financing in addition to the resources noted above to fund this
project. We have under contract with MacValley, LLC, a feedstock agreement for 100TPD of post-industrial plastic which we will use once
the project is operational. Our current plans are to start operations on our project in West Virginia in the first quarter of 2024. As
with all PCN hubs, we will start conservatively and expect to scale up to 500TPD.

Clean-Seas Arizona
(CSA) has been established under our previously announced Service Agreement with the Rob and Melani Walton Sustainability Solutions Service
(“WSSS”) and Arizona State University (“ASU”). We are in the process of securing a suitable facility near the
city of Phoenix to begin operations at 100TPD with feedstock being supplied from the Phoenix metro area and the western United States.
Under the Services Agreement, WSSS and ASU will assist CSA in securing land, permits, feedstock and other needed services. It is the
goal of both WSSS and CSA to create clean hydrogen from plastic feedstock utilizing
the technology developed with IICT to produce AquaH™, Clean-Seas’ branded hydrogen, in the latter part of 2024. The project
is planned to expand to 500TPD with the WSSS organization leading the way, and CSA will also pursue Biden Administration hydrogen hub
program funding.

Clean-Seas’ AquaHTM:
The Ultimate Clean Hydrogen Fuel
With an eye toward future-proofing our
business plan and enhancing profitability, we are developing a proprietary component in our plastic pyrolysis plants designed to produce
clean hydrogen which we have branded AquaHTM and it is nearing commercial stage, which we anticipate to be ready for deployment
in the 1st Quarter of 2024.
We believe hydrogen is the ultimate clean
fuel with water vapor as its only byproduct. We believe that producing it from waste plastic is the green economy holy grail. Unlike
the traditional method of hydrogen production, electrolysis, AquaH™ does not require electricity or water and diverts the
plastic feedstock from landfills, incineration and our oceans - an environmental home run. It is estimated that half a trillion dollars
are being committed worldwide to the development of clean hydrogen as both a consumer and commercial fuel and the Clean-Seas portfolio
has the opportunity to produce this product at scale.
Not to be forgotten, we have also been
developing a proprietary hydrogen fuel cell, “EcoCell,” for storing that energy safely and efficiently. The initial R&D
has been completed and the first prototype in nearing completion. After final assembly and thorough testing and data collection, we expect
the EcoCell product to be ready for potential customer or partner demonstration in the third quarter of this year.
Our Clean Vision and Clean-Seas family
continues to grow, and I could not be prouder to work shoulder to shoulder with our teams in India, Morocco, the UK and here in the US.
Our Company now includes experts in chemical and mechanical engineering, sustainability, business development, operations and management,
with a Board of Directors that adds years of experience in all facets of public company corporate development and governance.
I hope that this letter has provided a
roadmap of the future of the Company and has answered many of the questions that have been asked in the recent past. I and my team are
committed to the success of Clean Vision and its subsidiaries and to tackling the global was plastic problems at scale, and it would
not be possible without you. I thank you for your support and patience and commitment to making the world a cleaner and more prosperous
place.
Sincerely,
Dan Bates
