Mr John Genner (CPA, JP) has extensive experience in finance and public company matters and has been actively involved in the Medical Monitors business. He is currently a Director, and the Chairman of Australian Overseas Resources, an ASX listed company.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company must not, without the approval of holders of ordinary shares and subject to certain exceptions, issue during any 12 month period any equity securities, or other securities with rights of conversion to equity (such as an option) if the number of those securities exceeds 15% of the number of securities in the same class on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 allows the Company to obtain from shareholders the subsequent approval of issues of equity securities, the issue of which did not breach Rule 7.1. Such subsequently approved issues are treated as having been made with approval under Rule 7.1 and are thus then excluded from the 15% limit.

Over the past 12 months the company has made the following issues of shares as private placements within the 15% limit set by Rule 7.1.

The number of shares allotted:

A total of 7,555,335 fully paid ordinary shares were allotted in two tranches.

Purpose of the issue

The shares were issued to provide additional working capital for the Company to fund domestic and overseas marketing programs and the development of additional monitoring infrastructure.

The Company seeks subsequent approval for the above share issues in order to provide it with maximum flexibility to raise additional funds for the development of its business. Approval will mean that the Company will not need to include the above issues in calculating the 15% threshold under Rule 7.1.

Accordingly the board of directors ("Board") recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

6. Resolution 5 - Approval of proposed share issues - to Mr Stephen Kaufman

As explained under Resolution 2, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 sets a 15% limit on the number of shares which the Company can issue in any 12 month period without shareholder approval. ASX Listing Rule 7.3.2 allows approval to obtained from shareholders for proposed share issues up to 3 months from the date of the meeting.

In the period to 28 February 2003 he Company is also seeking to issue a maximum of 5 million ordinary fully paid shares and a maximum of 5 million options to acquire one ordinary fully paid share at 20.0 cents per share (exercisable at any time prior to $30^{\text{th}}$ June 2005) to Mr Stephen Kaufman, CEO of Technology Sourcing International Inc.

However, other TSI employees and Mr Kaufman devote considerable time and effort to obtain and develop business opportunities for the Company in North America.

The Board considers it is in the best interests of the company to reward and encourage this contribution in a manner which serves to enhance the alignment of TSPs and Mr Kaufman's interests with the success of the Company, as reflected in the market price of Company shares listed on the ASX.

  • to provide an incentive for employees to maintain and improve personal performance;
  • to provide an incentive for employees to enhance company performance, as reflected in the $\bullet$ market price of shares on the ASX;
  • to assist in the retention of valuable employees in a competitive employment marketplace.
