17th August 2005
Update on UK AIM Listing
REVERSE TAKEOVER OF MDM INTEREST IN MEDPRI LTD (PRIMEDICAL)
SALE OF CERTAIN MDM INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY TO UK AIM LISTED COMPANY
Further to previously released information, and under ASX Listing Rule 3.1, the Directors of Medical Monitors Limited (ASX:MDM) are pleased to announce the following.
Medical Monitors Limited ("MDM") and Medpri Limited ("Medpri"), trading as Primedical International ("Primedical") have entered into a non-binding "Heads of Agreement" with an Alternative Investment Market (AIM) listed company in the UK, Belgravia Telecom Limited ("Belgravia").
The agreement will become binding, once the various shareholder approvals (noted below) have been granted. It is anticipated that this will be finalised within the next two months. There will be two stages to the transaction and these may be subject to approval by MDM shareholders through an EGM, as well as any necessary approval from ASIC and the ASX.
The benefit of this transaction to MDM will be the creation of increased shareholder value, through a significant interest in an AIM listed entity, with access to capital for the expansion of the international business.
Belaravia, a telecoms investment company, will acquire the entire issued share capital of Medpri, subject to Belgravia shareholder approval. In addition, it is proposing to acquire certain intellectual property ("IP") from MDM.
In stage one, Belgravia will acquire Medpri by the issue of 45,991,200 shares in Belgravia credited as fully paid, and be re-admitted to trading on AIM.
In stage two, it is anticipated that the proposed acquisition of certain IP, being the relevant suPER™ and BPfone® technologies for the USA and European business, will be made by Belgravia, who will then issue 11,497,800 shares credited as fully paid to MDM.
On completion, the total shares on issue in Belgravia will be 65,180,000, of which MDM will hold 30,862,516 shares (47.35%) of the AIM entity.
Relevant shareholder and regulatory approvals for both stage one and two will be sought if necessary. The appropriate information and valuation will be provided in the Notice of Meeting documentation, which will be sent to all shareholders prior to the forthcoming EGM.
Medpri holds the exclusive distribution rights which has been licensed from MDM for the USA, UK and Europe which in turn has sub-licensed the US market to iCardia, a USA-based cardiac monitoring service and a fully operational subsidiary of Medpri.
