Dear Shareholder
The Directors of IM Medical Limited (IMI or the Company) are pleased to enclose a Notice of Meeting in respect to a General Meeting of Shareholders to be held at The Quest Beaumont Kew on August 16 2011 at 2.00pm.
On 25 March and 19 April 2011, the Board of IMI, including the new Directors appointed in March 2011, announced critical steps to address a protracted period of poor financial performance and the Company’s resulting weak solvency position. These steps included:
-
(a) the proposed sale of IMI’s Radiology Business to Capitol Health Limited (Capitol) in order to reduce operating expenses; and
-
(b) a recapitalisation and restructure initiative whereby IMI:
-
(i) raised $750,000 by way of Converting Loans, intended to convert into shares and options;
-
(ii) proposes to undertake a share consolidation; and
-
(iii) proposes to undertake an underwritten non-renounceable entitlement offer to raise new equity capital in order to recapitalise the Company.
Since making these announcements, the Directors have conducted a further review of the operations and financial position of the Company. This review identified significant additional liabilities of the Company which resulted in a breach of the terms of the original underwriting agreement for the entitlement issue and resulted in the terms of the original Converting Loans not being satisfied. As a result, the terms of the recapitalisation and restructure announced on 19 April 2011, have been amended, subject to shareholder approval, to the following:
-
(a) the proposed share consolidation will be amended to a 1 for 50 basis;
-
(b) the Converting Loans will now convert into 150,000,000 ordinary IMI shares at 0.5 cents per Share (post consolidation) and 150,000,000 Options exercisable at 0.5 cents each on or before 31 March 2012. For every Option exercised before expiry, the Company will issue an additional option exercisable at 1.5 cents each on or before 30 June 2015; and
-
(c) the underwritten non-renounceable pro rata entitlement issue will be offered to all shareholders on the basis three (3) shares at 0.5 cents per share for every two (2) shares held, and for every share issued under the entitlement issue, shareholders will be granted one (1) Option exercisable at 0.5 cents on or before 31 March 2012. For every Option exercised before expiry, the Company will issue an additional option exercisable at 1.5 cents each on or before 30 June 2015.

The enclosed Notice of a General Meeting provides further details of the recapitalisation and restructure measures referred to above.
The Board of IMI decided it is critical to take these actions to stem the losses incurred by the Company and to position the Company to be able to consider opportunities to restore and grow shareholder value in future.
The Directors recommend you read the enclosed documentation carefully. If the recapitalisation does not proceed, there is a likelihood that the Company will face solvency issues that would require the Board to consider voluntary administration.
On completion of the entitlement issue and the conversion of the Converting Loans, the Company will pay all existing creditors, after which it expects to hold cash of approximately $0.9 million and have no debt. This cash position is before the receipt of potential proceeds of up to $2.7 million from the exercise of Options expiring on 31 March 2012 and before any potential cash performance payments from Capitol under the terms of the sale of the Radiology Business. Documentation in relation to the sale was signed on 13 July 2011.
In addition, the Company proposes to distribute approximately 45.6 million Capitol � shares received as proceeds from the sale of its Radiology Business by way of an in specie distribution to shareholders within 3 months of completion of the sale. Based on the closing price of Capitol shares on 14 July of 4.0 cents, the shares would be valued at approximately $1.82 million.
By completing the proposed arrangements, the Company expects to restore its solvency position and be well positioned to explore new opportunities to create shareholder value.
Yours faithfully
Nigel Blaze Chairman

3. Background
3.1 Recapitalisation and Restructure
Following a protracted period of disappointing financial performance, on:
-
(a) 23 March 2011 the Company announced changes to its board of Directors;
-
(b) 25 March 2011 the Company announced the proposed sale of its Radiology Business to Capitol Health; and
-
(c) 19 April 2011 the Company announced a recapitalisation and restructure initiative whereby the Company:
-
(i) raised $750,000 by way of an issue of Converting Loans;
-
(ii) proposed to undertake a consolidation of its issued Shares and Options; and
-
(iii) proposed to undertake an underwritten pro-rata entitlement offer to raise new equity capital in order to recapitalise the Company.
Since the above announcements, the new Directors have taken steps to review the operations of the Company and to reduce expenses to stabilise the financial position of the Company. This review also identified significant additional liabilities of the Company that have resulted in the terms of the recapitalisation and restructure, as announced on 19 April 2011, being revised.
The Company is proposing to undertake the restructure and recapitalisation ( Restructure and Recapitalisation ) on the following revised basis:
-
(a) disposing of 100% of its interest in the Radiology Business in consideration for:
-
(i) 45,559,021 ordinary fully paid shares in the capital of Capitol Health; and
-
(ii) up to an aggregate of $600,000 in deferred cash payments depending upon the post-sale financial performance of the Radiology Business;
-
(b) undertaking a consolidation of the number of shares on issue on the basis that every fifty (50) Shares held be consolidated into one (1) Share and that Options currently on issue be consolidated on the same basis with their exercise price adjusted in accordance with the Listing Rules ( Consolidation );
-
(c) conversion of the Converting Loans into 150,000,000 Shares and 150,000,000 Options exercisable at 0.5 cents each on or before 31 March 2012; and
-
(d) undertaking a non-renounceable pro-rata entitlement offer to eligible Shareholders of three (3) Shares at an issue price of 0.5 cents per Share for two (2) existing Shares held (on a post Consolidation basis), and one (1) Option exercisable at 0.5 cents each on or before 31 March 2012 for every new Share issued, to raise up to $1,954,122 before associated costs ( Rights Issue ).
The Company has entered into a conditional underwriting agreement with Patersons Securities Limited ( Patersons ) whereby Patersons has agreed to underwrite the rights issue. The underwriting commitment of Patersons is subject to Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) being passed by Shareholders.
6
The proposed Consolidation will be completed prior to the conversion of the Converting Loans and the record date for the Rights Issue (refer to section 3.3).
The provision of Converting Loans and the proposed Rights Issue provide capital funding that is required by the Company, both to meet its existing liabilities and to provide sufficient working capital to allow the Company to pursue opportunities to restore and create Shareholder value.
The Board considers that if the Restructure and Recapitalisation does not proceed, there exists a risk that the Company will face solvency issues which will require the Board to consider voluntary administration.
3.2 Proposed New Capital Structure
Indicatively (should Shareholders approve the Resolutions in the Notice), the capital structure of the Company after the Consolidation, the conversion of the Converting Loans and the Rights Issue would be as follows:
| Shares | Options | |
|---|---|---|
| Securities on issue as at date of Notice |
5,527,476,886 | 4,731,862,273(1) |
| Consolidation (1:50) | 110,549,538 | 94,637,245 |
| Conversion of Converting Loans (post Consolidation) |
150,000,000 | 150,000,000(2) |
| Rights Issue (3 for 2) | 390,824,307(3) | 390,824,307(2,3) |
| Total | 651,373,845 | 635,461,552 |
(1) Unlisted Options with varying exercise prices and expiry dates. Refer to the Appendix 3B lodged by the Company with ASX on 22 December 2010 for the terms and conditions of these Options.
(2) Refer to Schedule 1 for the terms and conditions of the Options. Note also that the Company will issue one additional Option for each Option exercised prior to the expiry date.
(3) Assuming no Options are exercised prior to the record date.
In the event that all of the Options to be granted under Resolutions 3 and 4 are exercised, and additional Options are granted on their exercise (Refer to Sections 6.1 and 7.1), the capital structure of the Company would be as follows:
| Shares | Options | |
|---|---|---|
| Securities on issue (following exercise of the Options granted under Resolutions 3 and 4) |
1,192,198,152(1) | 94,637,245 |
| Additional Options granted (Converting Loan) |
- | 150,000,000(2) |
| Additional Options granted (Rights Issue) |
- | 390,824,307(3) |

4. Resolution 1 – Authorise Sale of Radiology Business
4.1 Background
The Company seeks Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 11.2 for the disposal of its main undertaking, the Radiology Business.
The Radiology Business was acquired by the Company from companies associated with the Director, Mr Mark Scott, following approval by Company shareholders in July 2010.
Since being acquired by the Company, the trading performance of the Radiology Business has not met expectations and was a significant contributor to the loss of $2,448,777 recorded by the Company in the six month period to 31 December 2010. The Company’s other diagnostic product "Intelliheart" was also unprofitable during this period.
Following a review of the performance of the Radiology Business, in January 2011 the Directors concluded that the Radiology Business was not sustainable in its current form. Having regard to the cashflow position of the Company and the difficulty in raising the amount of capital required to turn the Radiology Business around, the Directors resolved to progress the sale of the Radiology Business.
The Company entered into an agreement dated 13 July 2011 pursuant to which, amongst other things, it was agreed that the Company would sell and Capitol Health would purchase, the Radiology Business ( Sale Agreement ).
4.2 Sale Agreement
The material terms of the Sale Agreement are as follows:
- (a) Completion of the Sale Agreement is subject to the following conditions precedent:
8
-
(i) the parties obtaining ASX and any other regulatory approvals as may be required in order to effect the sale of the Radiology Business; and
-
(ii) there being no prescribed occurrences in respect to Capitol Health, which include, amongst other things, changes to the capital structure of Capitol Health, disposal of a substantial part of its business or property or any insolvency events occurring.
-
(b) If any of the conditions listed above are not satisfied (or waived by the parties) on or before 31 August 2011 (or such other date as the parties agree in writing) the Sale Agreement terminates.
-
(c) The consideration payable by Capitol Health for the Radiology Business is 45,559,021 ordinary fully paid shares in the capital of Capitol Health, together with a performance bonus payable in three instalments of $200,000 on each date that is 12 months, 18 months and 24 months periods after the date of completion of the sale. These additional payments are subject to the Radiology Business achieving agreed post sale operating revenue performance milestones.
-
(d) The Company has provided certain warranties with respect to the Radiology Business as are typical for a transaction of this nature.
-
(e) The Company undertakes that it will, within 3 months of completion of the sale of the Radiology Business and subject to approval by Shareholders and the satisfaction of any regulatory requirements, distribute to Shareholders by way of an in specie distribution, the 45,559,021 shares in Capitol Health received as part consideration for the sale of the Radiology Business.
4.3 Listing Rule 11.2 - Substantial asset and main undertaking
Listing Rule 11.2 provides that a company may not dispose of its main undertaking (that is, its main asset or business) without the approval of its shareholders. The sale of the Radiology Business requires the approval by way of an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders.
Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution.
4.4 Advantages and disadvantages of the Sale Agreement
The advantages and disadvantages to Shareholders of the sale of the Radiology Business pursuant to the Sale Agreement are as follows:
-
(a) Advantages
-
(i) Eliminate operating losses and working capital outflow that has occurred from the ownership of the Radiology Business and that has had a negative impact on the Company’s balance sheet, capital and solvency position.
-
(ii) Management of the Company will be able to focus on identifying and acquiring assets that will provide maximum Shareholder value.
-
(iii) The Directors are satisfied that they have achieved the best possible price attainable for the Radiology Business after interest in the Radiology Business was canvassed with a number of major industry participants.
9
-
(iv) Provide an opportunity for Shareholders to continue to participate in the radiology sector via the shares held in Capitol Health received as consideration for the sale of the Radiology Business.
-
(v) Potential future benefits from the payment by Capital Health of up to $600,000 in performance bonuses based on the future revenue performance of the Radiology Business.
-
(b) Disadvantages
-
(i) The Company will cease to retain any immediate upside exposure to any assets. However, the Company will maintain an indirect ability to gain from any future upside from the Radiology Business as it will receive shares in Capitol Health as consideration for the sale of the Radiology Business. This benefit will be distributed to Shareholders subject to the future in specie distribution referred to in Section 4.7.
-
(ii) Following the sale, the Company will not have any active business operations. The Company will have no source of operating revenue to offset operating expenses until another operating business is acquired or undertaken.
-
(iii) There is a risk that the Company may not be able to locate and acquire suitable new projects in a reasonable timeframe.
4.5 Future of the Company after the Sale of the Radiology Business
As the Company is disposing of its main undertaking it will consider the application of Listing Rule 11.1.2 (Shareholder approval of the acquisition) and Listing Rule 11.1.3 (application of Chapters 1 and 2 of the Listing Rules to the acquisition) at the time of any future acquisition. Depending on the size and nature of any acquisition these Listing Rules may apply to the transaction.
The Directors will actively seek investment opportunities that will create increased Shareholder value. The sale of the Radiology Business will provide the capital required to allow the Directors to pursue a viable opportunity, should one arise.
4.6 Future of the Company if the Sale of the Radiology Business is not approved
If the sale of the Radiology Business is not approved by Shareholders, the sale will not proceed.
The Company will retain ownership of the loss making Radiology Business, without having sufficient funds to finance the business or invest in the business. The Company will continue to be loss making, with significant negative cashflows.
In the event this occurs, the Converting Loans (having an aggregate value of $750,000) will become repayable with interest and a 20% redemption fee payable and the Rights Issue underwriting will be terminated. In these circumstances the Directors do not expect to have sufficient available funds to meet all obligations to the Company's creditors and there is therefore a possibility that the Company will be required to enter into voluntary administration. In this situation the Directors can give no assurance that there would be any recoverable value for Shareholders.
4.7 In Specie Distribution
Part of the consideration payable to the Company for the sale of the Radiology Business is the issue of 45,559,021 ordinary fully paid shares in the capital of Capitol Health. The Company intends, within 3 months of completion of the sale of the
10
Radiology Business, to undertake an in specie distribution of these shares to Shareholders and will seek the necessary Shareholder approval prior to undertaking this distribution.
4.8 Other Material Information
There is no other information material to the making of a decision by a Shareholder whether or not to approve Resolution 1 (being information that is known to any of the Directors and which has not been previously disclosed to Shareholders) other than as disclosed in this Explanatory Memorandum.
4.9 Directors' Recommendation
After considering all relevant factors, the Directors (with the exception of Dr Mark Scott) unanimously recommend the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 for the following reasons:
-
(a) after a full and proper assessment of all available information they believe that the proposed sale of the Radiology Business is in the best interests of the Shareholders and the Company;
-
(b) in the opinion of the Directors, the advantages of the sale of the Radiology Business outweigh its disadvantages; and
-
(c) the directors are satisfied they have achieved the best possible terms for the sale of the Radiology Business in the circumstances facing the Company.
Dr Mark Scott, a Director, has excluded himself from this recommendation as he has a relevant interest in Resolution 1.
5. Resolution 2 – Approval of Share Consolidation
5.1 Background
Resolution 2 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to undertake the Consolidation.
Each Shareholder’s proportional interest in the Company’s share capital will remain unchanged as a result of the Consolidation. The result of the Consolidation is that the Security holding for each shareholder and option holder will be reduced by a factor of fifty from its current level. Any fractional entitlements of Securities as a consequence of the Consolidation will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
The Directors regard the Consolidation as an important step in the recapitalisation of the Company for the following reasons:
-
(a) the Company currently has 5.5 billion Shares on issue. This has resulted in the Company’s Shares trading at the lowest permitted price on the ASX on 0.1 cents per share on all but 2 days in the two month period prior to suspension from Official Quotation of the Shares on the ASX on 1 March 2011; and
-
(b) companies typically raise new equity capital at a discount to their prevailing share price. With the Shares trading at the lowest permitted price on the ASX, the Company has been unable to offer Shares at a discount. The Directors consider this has been a contributing factor to the inability of the Company to raise new capital via the issue of Shares.
11
5.2 Section 254H of the Corporations Act and Listing Rules
Section 254H(1) of the Corporations Act enables a company to convert all or any of its shares into a smaller number of shares by a resolution passed at a general meeting. The Consolidation proposed by Resolution 2 is permitted under that section and under Article 10.1(b) of the Constitution.
Listing Rule 7.20 provides that if an entity proposes to reorganise its capital, it must advise shareholders of certain matters, which are set out below.
In accordance with Listing Rule 7.22 the number of Options on issue will be consolidated on the basis of one (1) Option for every fifty (50) Options held and the exercise price of such Options will increase according to the Consolidation ratio.
Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.
5.3 Effect of Consolidation on Capital Structure
The change in capital structure of the Company following the Consolidation, which is subject to adjustments for rounding, is as follows:
| Class of Security | Number on Issue (Pre- Consolidation) |
Number on Issue (Post-Consolidation) (2) |
|---|---|---|
| Shares | 5,527,476,886(1) | 110,549,538(3) |
| Options | 4,731,862,273 | 94,637,245(3) |
(1) As at the date of this Notice.
-
(2) Assumes no Options are exercised prior to the Consolidation.
-
(3) Unlisted Options with varying exercise prices.
5.4 Taxation Consequences of Consolidation
The Directors do not intend to provide any advice on the taxation consequences of the Consolidation.
If a Shareholder is in any doubt as to his or her tax position as a result of the Consolidation, he or she should seek professional taxation advice. The Company and its respective officers do not accept any liability or responsibility in respect to the taxation consequences arising from the Consolidation.
5.5 Effective Date of Consolidation
The proposed Consolidation will take effect from 16 August 2011 ( Effective Date ).
As from the day that is four Business Days after the Effective Date, the Company may not register transfers on a pre-Consolidation basis. In the case of certificated holdings, this is the last day for the Company to accept transfers accompanied by certificates issued before the Consolidation.

5.6 Directors' Recommendation
After considering all relevant factors, the Directors unanimously recommend the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.
6. Resolution 3 – Issue of Shares and Options pursuant to Converting Loans
6.1 General
The Company has entered into Converting Loans with various clients of Patersons Securities Limited (each of whom "professional" or "sophisticated" investors pursuant to section 708 of the Corporations Act) for an aggregate value of $750,000 for the purposes of supplying immediate working capital for the Company.
The Converting Loans are convertible, post Consolidation, to 150,000,000 Shares at 0.5 cents per Share and 150,000,000 Options exercisable at 0.5 cents each on or before 31 March 2012 ( Converting Securities ). For every option exercised on or before the expiry date, the Company will issue an additional option exercisable at 1.5 cents each on or before 30 June 2015.
13
Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Converting Securities the subject of the Converting Loans. The issue of the Converting Securities will occur following the Consolidation.
The Directors note that if Shareholder approval of Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive) are not obtained, the Converting Loans will become immediately redeemable and the underwriting agreement for the Rights Issue will be subject to termination. The Converting Loans will be redeemable in full, together with interest payable at the rate of 15% per annum for the period from 15 April 2011 to the date of redemption. In addition, a redemption fee equivalent to 20% of the Converting Loans amount will become due and payable. In these circumstances the Directors do not expect to have sufficient available funds to meet all obligations to the Company's creditors there is therefore a likelihood that the Company will be required to enter into voluntary administration. In this situation the Directors can give no assurance that there would be any recoverable value for Shareholders.
Any Shareholder that is also a Converting Loan Holder will be precluded from voting in respect to Resolution 3.
6.2 Listing Rule 7.1
Listing Rule 7.1 requires Shareholder approval for the issue of the Converting Securities. Listing Rule 7.1 provides, subject to certain exceptions, that Shareholder approval is required for any issue of securities by a listed company, where the securities proposed to be issued represent more than 15% of the Company’s securities then on issue.
Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.
6.3 Specific information required by Listing Rule 7.3
For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.3 information regarding the Converting Loans is provided as follows:
-
(a) the maximum number of securities the Company will issue on conversion of the Converting Loans is 150,000,000 Shares and 150,000,000 Options (post Consolidation);
-
(b) the Company will issue the Converting Securities no later than three (3) months after the date of the Meeting (or such longer period of time as ASX may, in its discretion, allow pursuant to a waiver of the Listing Rules);
-
(c) the Converting Securities will be issued on conversion of the Converting Loans;
-
(d) the Shares will be issued to the Convertible Loan Holders on conversion of the Converting Loans who are:
-
(i) professional and sophisticated investors (or otherwise investors that does not require a disclosure document);
-
(ii) clients of Patersons; and
-
(iii) not related parties of the Company;
-
(e) the Shares to be issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company;
14
-
(f) the Options will have an exercise price of 0.5 cents each exercisable on or before 31 March 2012 and are subject to the further terms and conditions as contained in Schedule 1;
-
(g) the Company will raise no funds from the issue of the Converting Securities as they are being issued as consideration for the Converting Loans;
-
(h) the Converting Securities will be allotted progressively; and
-
(i) a voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.
6.4 Directors' Recommendation
After considering all relevant factors, the Directors (with the exception of Dr Mark Scott) unanimously recommend the Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3. Dr Mark Scott, a Director, has excluded himself from this recommendation as he has a relevant interest in Resolution 3.
7. Resolution 4 – Approval of Rights Issue
7.1 General
Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval pursuant to Listing Rule 7.11.3 to enable the Company to offer Shares pro-rata on the basis of three (3) Shares for every two (2) Shares held by Shareholders with any fractional entitlement to be rounded down. In addition, for every one (1) Share issued under the Rights Issue, the Shareholder will be granted one (1) Option exercisable at 0.5 cents on or before 31 March 2012. For every option that is exercised on or before the expiry date, the Company will issue an additional Option exercisable at 1.5 cents on or before 30 June 2015.
The Rights Issue will be undertaken following the Consolidation. The Rights Issue will be underwritten by Patersons, subject to the passing of Resolutions 1 to 4 (inclusive).
Listing Rule 7.11.3 provides an exemption for pro-rata offers that is expressed to be renounceable. The Company does not consider a renounceable offer appropriate in the current circumstances.
Listing Rule 7.11.3 provides generally that a company may not, under a pro rata issue, offer securities to Shareholders at a ratio greater than one new security for each existing security held. Strict compliance with this rule would prevent the Company from undertaking a pro-rata offer of sufficient scale for the purposes of raising sufficient capital to recapitalise the Company.
The Company obtained from ASX a waiver of Listing Rule 7.11.3 to the extent required to enable the Company to make the offer under the Rights Issue non-renounceable. A waiver was sought because the ratio on which Shares would be offered under the Rights Issue is three (3) Shares for every two (2) existing Shares held.
While Shareholder approval is not normally required for a pro rata non-renounceable entitlements issue (as most are completed on a 1:1 basis), ASX granted the waiver of Listing Rule 7.11.3 on the condition that Shareholder approval is obtained. In addition, ASX requires that any person that proposes to underwrite or sub-underwrite the Rights Issue is excluded from voting.
Approval is sought from Shareholders for the issue of Shares on the following terms:
- (a) the maximum number of securities to be issued under Resolution 4 is 390,842,307 Shares and 390,842,307 Options (post Consolidation and subject to rounding);
15
-
(b) the Securities will be allotted and issued in accordance with the Rights Issue timetable;
-
(c) the Shares will be issued at a price of 0.5 cents per Share with the Options being free-carried;
-
(d) The Shares will be offered to all registered Shareholders as at the Record Date;
-
(e) The Shares to be issued pursuant to the Rights Issue are ordinary fully paid shares. The Options are free carried and will be issued for nil consideration exercisable at 0.5 cents each on or before 31 March 2012
-
(f) The intended use of the funds raised under Rights Issue include working capital requirements and to explore potential investment opportunities aimed at increasing Shareholder value; and
-
(g) A voting exclusion statement has been included in this notice which precludes any Substantial Holder, Patersons (as the Underwriter of the Rights Issue) and any sub-underwriter, or their associates from voting.
Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.
