Medic Vision Limited
("Medic Vision" or the "Company")
Update re holding in Red Paragon Pty Ltd
London, 17 November 2009
The Board of Medic Vision is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Neil Fleming to
acquire 29 shares (the "Red Paragon Shares") equivalent to 9.29% of the issued share capital in Red Paragon Pty Ltd ("Red Paragon"), an Australian based and incorporated private company that manufacturers low cost, lightweight, building panels (walls, floors, ceilings and roof panels) for the construction of modular buildings.
Neil Fleming, a former consultant to Red Paragon, commented as follows:
"I am pleased to have reached this agreement with the Board of Medic Vision and look forward to working with the Company in the future".
The acquisition of the Red Paragon Shares will be funded via the issue of 2,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (the "Consideration Shares"), equivalent to AU$42,000 based on the closing share price of AU$0.021 per ordinary share on 16 November 2009. The Consideration Shares are to be issued within 14 days of the Annual General Meeting.
As referred to in the Notice of Annual General Meeting, dated 6 November 2009, shareholder approval is being sought for the Directors to allot and issue up to 100,000,000 ordinary shares for the purposes of raising capital and other strategic acquisitions. This approval will enable the Directors to issue the Consideration Shares to Mr Fleming without the Company having to utilise its discretionary power to issue further shares up to 15% of the issued capital in the Company without shareholder approval.
Following the acquisition of the Red Paragon Shares, the Company will hold, in aggregate, 96.79% of the issued share capital in Red Paragon. The Board has resolved that it is in the Company's long term strategic interest to acquire the balance of the issued share capital of Red Paragon, being 3.21%, which will result in Red Paragon becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Medic Vision.
