The shares allotted rank pari passu in all respects with the Company’s other issued fully paid shares. The Company applied for and received official quotation on the ASX of the new shares.

This issue relates to a drawdown notice issued to Fortrend Securities Pty Ltd under the Standby Subscription Agreement that was advised to the market on 4 August 2008..

This issue raised $148,426. The Company sought to undertake this placement to fund working capital requirements.

The Board elected to proceed by way of placement to Fortrend Securities Pty Ltd as a $5 million Standby Subscription Agreement was already in place and quick access to funding was important.

Under the 15% Rule a company may, within a 12 month period, issue new ordinary securities which amount to up to 15% of the company’s issued ordinary securities without the need for shareholder approval. The allotment of 18,324,230 shares represented approximately 1.5% of the Company’s issued ordinary securities. Shares issued and subsequently approved under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 are not counted towards the 15% Rule. Shareholder approval is sought under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to refresh the Company’s capacity to issue ordinary securities which amount to up to 15% of the Company’s issued ordinary securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

The directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

5 Ratification of issue of shares under Executive Service agreement

Shareholder ratification is being sought for the issue to Tommas Bonvino of 10,000,000 ordinary shares in fulfilment of a termination condition of his Executive Service Agreement which covered his employment as CEO. Mr Bonvino terminated from the company on 20 July 2008. The shares were issued on 25 July 2008.

Pursuant to Chapter 7 of the ASX Listing Rules, a company may within a 12 month period allot up to 15% of its issued capital (whether by way of shares or options) without the need to seek shareholder approval. The allotment of 10,000,000 shares represented approximately 0.8% of IM Medical’s existing issued capital. The Company requires subsequent shareholder ratification in order to keep its 15% refreshed. The issue was made pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 and ratification is being sought to freshen up the Company’s capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The 10,000,000 ordinary shares, as a termination payment, related to the period after Tommas Bonvino resigned as a director and hence does not require approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11.

The directors recommend that you vote in favour of this resolution .

6 Ratification of issue of shares in lieu of consultancy services

This resolution seeks shareholder approval to ratify the issue of shares to the following consultants:

  1. Dr David Eccleston in recognition of the medical services that have been provided for the year ended 30 June 2008. The Company has issued 4,884,772 fully paid ordinary shares of the Company in lieu of $104,067 in services provided. The shares were issued to JCS Investment Group Pty Ltd, an entity nominated by Dr Eccleston.

The Company issued 2,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares of the Company at an issue price of $0.04, giving the issue a face value of $80,000. Upon receipt of written commitment by that hospital, the shares were issued on 29 November 2007. Further discussions with hospital management have led to the abandonment of these trials due to excessive costs of the pilot.

The Company believes that the services provided to the Company have been of a high standard and the willingness of the consultants to forgo monetary compensation for their services and in lieu thereof, to receive equity in the Company is beneficial to the Company and has provided additional working capital that would not otherwise have been available.

Pursuant to Chapter 7 of the ASX Listing Rules, a company may within a 12 month period allot up to 15% of its issued capital (whether by way of shares or options) without the need to seek shareholder approval.
