Explanatory Memorandum
The following information provides an explanation of each resolution set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
1. Financial statements and reports
As required by section 317 of the Corporations Act 2001, the financial statements and the reports of the directors and auditors will be laid before the meeting. Shareholders have been provided with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2009 in the 2009 Annual Report. There is no requirement in the Corporations Act or the Company’s Constitution for shareholders to vote on, approve or adopt these Reports. Shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity at the meeting to ask questions and make comments on these Reports and on the management of the Company.
The Auditor of the Company is required to attend the meeting and will be available to take shareholders’ questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report. Shareholders may forward written questions to the Auditor on these matters for response at the meeting. These should be mailed to the Company Secretary, IM Medical Ltd, 117 Church Street Hawthorn 3122. Questions may be submitted up to 5 business days before the meeting.
The Auditor of the Company will also be available to take shareholders’ questions at the meeting relevant to the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the financial statements and the independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
2. Adoption of remuneration report
The Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2009 contains a Remuneration Report, which sets out the policy for the remuneration of the directors, company secretary and executives. The Corporations Act requires that a resolution be put to the vote that the Remuneration Report be adopted. The Corporations Act expressly provides that the vote is advisory only and does not bind the directors or the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration practices and policies of the Company.
The directors recommend that you vote in favour of this resolution.
3. Election of director
Mr Craig Cook
Craig has been chairman of the company’s Audit Committee since his appointment. Craig is currently a director of the Goulburn Murray Rural Water Corporation and the Rural Finance Corporation of Victoria. Mr. Cook, holds other directorships with Australian Cricket Bat Willow Plantation Management Services Limited, Goulburn Ovens Institute of TAFE and Carlton Cricket Club Limited.
The directors (with Mr Craig Cook abstaining) recommend that you vote in favour of this resolution.
4. Refreshing capacity to issue equity securities following issues of equity securities in the Company
The approval proposed in Resolution 4 is a subsequent approval of permitted issues of shares in order to refresh the Company's capacity to issue further shares pursuant to Listings Rule 7.1 and 7.4.
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that the Company can only issue up to 15% of the Company's 'equity securities' (subject to certain exclusions
and exceptions) in any 12 month period without obtaining shareholder approval.
Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of equity securities made without the need for approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 if:
−
the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and
− members of the company subsequently approve it.
Such approval refreshes the capacity of the Company to issue additional equity securities as permitted under Listing Rule 7.1 within the 15% limit. This is the approval the Company now seeks under Resolution 5.
In the period since shareholders approved share placements at the General Meeting held on 10th September 2009, the Company has issued the following equity securities without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 (Equity Securities):
(1) 26,225,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company;
Notice of 2009 Annual General Meeting
Page 4
==> picture [109 x 20] intentionally omitted <==
(2) 905,000 options in the Company over the ordinary shares, exercisable at $0.00378 per option on or before 26 August 2012; and
(3) 1,540,000 options in the Company over the ordinary shares, exercisable at $0.00324 per option on or before 29 September 2012; and
(4) 2,800,000 options in the Company over the ordinary shares, exercisable at $0.00333 per option on or before 7 October 2012.
All of the shares issued and the options when converted will rank equally with the fully paid ordinary shares of the Company already on issue. The issue of the 26,225,000 Equity Securities without approval did not exceed the Listing Rule 7.1 15% limit, and so did not breach Listing Rule 7.1. If members approve this resolution, the Company will have the flexibility to issue more shares in the next 12 months without requiring approval at a meeting of members should the Board believe it is in the best interests of the Company to do so. If this resolution is approved by members, the Company will thereafter be able to issue an additional 3,933,750 equity securities without member approval.
If this resolution is not passed:
(1) the Company was not required, under Listing Rule 7.1, to seek member approval prior to the issues of the equity securities described in this resolution, so the absence of approval will not invalidate the issues of the equity securities;
(2) the Company's ability to issue further equity securities in the 12 month period will be reduced, unless member approval is obtained for the said subsequent issue or that issue falls within an exception to Listing Rule 7.1.
For the purposes of Listing Rules 7.4 and 7.5, the Company notes that:
(3) On 26 August 2009, the Company issued to:
(i) Fortrend Securities Pty Ltd (Fortrend) 4,525,000 fully paid ordinary shares at a subscription price $0.00378 per share and 905,000 options over the ordinary shares, exercisable at $0.00378 per option on or before 26 August 2012 pursuant to the $5 million Standby Subscription Agreement which the Company entered into with Fortrend in August 2008; and
(4) On 29 September 2009, the Company issued to:
(i) Fortrend, 7,700,000 fully paid ordinary shares at a subscription price $0.00324 per share and 1,540,000 options over the ordinary shares, exercisable at $0.00324 per option on or before 29 September 2012, pursuant to the $5 million Standby Subscription Agreement which the Company entered into with Fortrend in August 2008; and
(5) On 7 October 2009, the Company issued to:
(ii) Fortrend, 14,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at a subscription price $0.00333 per share and 2,800,000 options over the ordinary shares, exercisable at $0.00333 per option on or before 7 October 2012, pursuant to the $5 million Standby Subscription Agreement which the Company entered into with Fortrend in August 2008; and
The funds raised from the issues listed above were used for working capital purposes
The directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
5. The issue of Company securities to Pinnacle Equities Pty Ltd
The Company engaged Pinnacle Equities Pty Ltd, a holder of Australian Financial Services License #300776, to procure investors/lenders to refinance the existing asset leasing facility of the Mark Scott Group and also to provide the company with working capital for future needs. As consideration for the services provided by Pinnacle Equities, the Company agreed to pay a fee for these services by the issue of up to 50,000,000 Shares and up to 50,000,000 Options exercisable at $0.0035 within 2 years of issuance. The Directors consider that the quantum of the fees is at the median of fees paid to persons for services of this nature, to companies like the Company and that the terms are otherwise acceptable.
The issue of the shares and options are conditional on Pinnacle Equities ensuring execution of an Equipment Financing facility for $2.8 million or any lower amount deemed acceptable by the company and upon receipt of $500,000 as Working Capital .
Approval is sought for the issue of the above Shares and Options to Pinnacle Equities Pty Ltd and approval is also sought for the exclusion of this issue of Shares and Options to Pinnacle Equities Pty Ltd from the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1.
If this Resolution is passed, the Shares and Options will be allotted to Pinnacle Equities (or its nominee) within three months of the date of this meeting.
The Shares and Options issued to Pinnacle Equities will rank equally with the Shares and Options of the Company already on issue.
The directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution
