Resolution Issue of the Warrants to Strand Hanson Securities Limited

Strand Partners Limited (now renamed Strand Hanson Limited) ("Strand") was appointed to act as Nominated Adviser to the Company on 31 October 2008, for a period of two years from the date of appointment, under the terms of an engagement letter between Strand and the Company dated 31 October 2008 (the "Strand Engagement Letter"). In accordance with the terms of the Strand Engagement Letter and the Warrant Instrument, Medic Vision agreed to issue the Warrants to Strand.

The Warrant Instrument, requires the Company to obtain Shareholders approval to issue the Warrant, no later than 30 June 2009. This date was not achieved as the Company did not hold a general meeting at which the resolution could be proposed prior to this date. The Warrant has not been issued as required under the terms of the Strand Engagement Letter and the Warrant Instrument. Notwithstanding this Strand has agreed to extend the deadline for approval to 11 December 2009 at which point, should the issue of Warrantnot have been approved, the Company will be in beach of the Strand Engagement Letter

The Listing Rules set out requirements, which must be satisfied in relation to the issue of shares or securities.  As noted earlier, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 requires that a listed company obtain shareholder approval prior to the issue of shares or securities convertible into shares representing more than 15% of the issued capital of that company in any twelve (12) month period. The allotment and the issue of the shares referred to in this resolution will contravene the provisions of Listing Rule 7.1 unless the prior approval of shareholders via a general meeting is obtained.

 ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires specific information to be disclosed for shareholders to approve an issue of shares or securities, which would otherwise contravene Listing Rule 7.1. In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3 the following information is provided in relation to this resolution: 

  • Following shareholder approval, Medic Vision will issue the Warrants, capable of converting into such number of Shares as is equivalent to 2% of the issued share capital of Medic Vision at the time of exercise, no later than three (3) months after the date of the Meeting (or as modified by ASX waiver).

  • Strand will pay Medic Vision AU$0.02 per Share.

  • After issue, allotment and quotation on ASX, the Shares will rank equally with the existing ordinary Shares in Medic Vision.

  • The Shares will be issued to Strand Hanson Securities Limited.

  • The Company confirms that none of the Warrants/Shares are being issued to related parties.

Resolution 9 - Issue of Shares and Options to Vincenzo (Vince) Leone

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 states that an entity must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to a related party without the approval of holders of ordinary securities.  

In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001, shareholders are being asked to approve the issue of 3,500,000 Shares and 3,500,000 Options to an Executive Director, Vincenzo (Vince) Leone.

The total number of Shares to be issued to Mr. Leone is 3,500,000. The Shares are being issued in lieu of part compensation being paid to Mr. Leone in his capacity as Director and Chief Executive Officer.

The total maximum number of Options to be granted to Mr. Leone is 3,500,000. Each Option will entitle the holder to subscribe for one ordinary share in the Company. If Shareholder approval is gained the Options will be issued no later than one month after the date of the Meeting. The Options will be issued for nil consideration.

The exercise price of the Options shall be AU$0.045. The last trading price of Shares on ASX at the time of preparing this notice was AU$0.02 (30 October 2009) The Company has raised capital via the issue of Convertible Note at AU$0.02, so the option exercise price is at a significant premium to current the market price. An Option may only be exercised after that Option has vested and before its expiry date.

The Options will vest if, at any time following the date of issue and prior to 31 December 2012, the last sale price of the Shares on the ASX equals to or exceeds AU$0.02 for 5 consecutive days trading.

The final exercise date or expiry date for the Options will be 31 December 2012.  

If the Options vest and are subsequently exercised funds received upon exercise of the options will be used for working capital purposes. There is no guarantee that the options will be exercised. The Company will not be applying for Official Quotation of the Options.  

In order to preserve the Company's cash, the Directors have agreed to accept substantially lower directors fees than would be viewed as customary practice for a similar publicly listed company. The vesting conditions of the Options are adequately linked to improvement in share price and hence shareholder value. The Options will provide further incentive to improve the performance of the Company to the commercial benefit of all Shareholders.

The Directors decline to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to this Resolution due to a conflict of interest.

Resolution 12 - Employee Share Option Plan

This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to establish and maintain the Employee Share Option Plan to provide ongoing incentives to employees of the company. If the resolution is passed, the Plan will enable the Company to issue options to subscribe for shares in the Company from time to time to employees as part of a performance based incentive program.

Please note that the Directors of the Company are not eligible to participate in the Plan.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a listed Company must not, subject to certain exceptions, issue or agree to issue more than 15% of its capital within a 12 month period without the approval of shareholders. An exception to Listing Rule 7.1 is Listing Rule 7.2 - Exception 9, which provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years of the date of issue, shareholders have approved the issue as an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.

Shareholder approval is sought to establish and maintain the Plan and to enable the Company to subsequently grant options to subscribe for share in the Company in accordance with the Rules of the Plan ("Plan Rules") and as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 - Exception 9.  

No securities have been issued under the proposed Employee Share Option Plan as at the date of this Explanatory Statement.

The Plan Rules are set out in Annexure A.

Resolution 13 -Placement of Shares

Assuming Resolutions 1 - 12 are approved, the Company will have taken steps to convert debts into equity and improve the strength of its balance sheet. However, the Company will still require further working capital in order to pursue its objectives of continuing to grow its existing projects and to take advantage of new opportunities as and when they arise.  

The Directors seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 13 to allot and issue up to 100,000,000 new shares. Obtaining this approval will give the Company flexibility to issue these Shares to ensure the Company has adequate working capital to properly exploit both its existing projects and potential new opportunities, including the two potential acquisitions, summary of details of which were included in the Company's announcement released to the ASX and AIM on 26 October 2009.

The effect of Resolution 13 will be to allow the Directors to issue up to 100,000,000 of Shares during the period of 3 months after the Annual General Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company's 15% annual placement capacity.

The Directors are yet to determine who the Shares may be issued to but the allottees will not be related parties (or their associates) of the Company.

The Shares will be issued to sophisticateinvestors and/or clients of stockbroking firms.

It is envisaged that the allotment of the Shares will occur progressively and that the funds raised will be used for working capital or for a potential acquisition.

Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1

Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to the Share Placement:

  • the maximum number of Shares to be issued is up to 100,000,000;

  • the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the General Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that allotment will occur on the same date;

  • the issue price will not be less than 80% of the volume weighted average market price (VWAP) for Shares calculated over the 5 days on which sales in the Shares are recorded before the day on which the issue is made;

  • the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing Shares; 

  • funds raised by the issue of the Shares will be used to fund expansion and operational activities on the Company's assets and for general working capital purposes; and

Pro Rata Issue
If, prior to the expiry or lapse of any Options there is a pro rata issue (except a bonus issue) to the holders of Shares in the Company, the Exercise Price of the options may be reduced in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

Adjustment to Number of Options
The Company shall give notice to each Participant of any adjustment to the number of Options which the Participant is entitled to be issued in accordance with the Listing Rules.
Market Details
The Company will provide to a Participant upon request, within a reasonable time, either verbally or in writing, details of the current market price (in Australian dollars) of all Medic Vision listed securities.
                   COMPANY’S RIGHTS NOT WAIVED
The Company’s right to terminate or vary the terms of employment of any Participant shall not be prejudiced in any way by the Company or any Participant participating in the Plan or anything contained in these Rules or both. Further, participation in the Plan and/or the rights or benefits of a Participant under these Rules shall not be used as grounds for granting or increasing damages in any action brought by any Participant against the Company whether in respect of any alleged wrongful dismissal or otherwise.
