EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders in connection with the business to be conducted at the General Meeting to be held at 10:00 AM (EDST) on Wednesday, 31[st] December, 2008, at Bonnie Doon Golf Club, Banks Ave, Pagewood (SYDNEY), NSW 2036
The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolution in the Notice of Meeting.
1. BACKGROUND
On 23 August 2007, the Company entered into a share sale agreement ( Share Sale Agreement ) with iCardia Healthcare Pty Ltd ( iCardia ) with respect to the sale of the issued share capital of Heart Monitors Pty Ltd and all other shares held by the Company in associated medical companies ( Medical Shares ). However, the parties agreed to treat the transactions contemplated by the Share Sale Agreement as being completed only on Shareholder approval being obtained.
In consideration for the acquisition of the Medical Shares, Dr Allan Shell and Mrs Roma Shell (the shareholders of iCardia) agreed to cancel all outstanding debt (including interest and charges) owed by the Company to Dr Allan Shell and Mrs Roma Shell, the value of which was $2,460,405. Dr Shell was a former director of the Company and had resigned prior to the signing of the Share Sale Agreement.
The sale of the Medical Shares (should have but) did not specifically incorporate the sale of the technology in the following medical technology devices:
-
(a) the devices know as “SUPER”, “SUPER RT” and “BPfone” and their related software and other technologies; and
-
(b) all electrocardiogram recorder and blood pressure monitoring devices, technology and software developed by the Company,
(together, the Devices ).
Accordingly, the Company has retained ownership of a number of assets relating to the Devices, including trademarks, patents and other Intellectual Property ( IP ) relating to the Devices and records, contracts, goodwill and receivables relating directly to the Devices ( Assets ). The Company also owned the business of developing and exploiting the Devices ( Business ).
To complete the divestment of all of the Company’s medical assets, as was originally intended in August, 2007, the Company entered into a sale and purchase deed with iCardia on 28 July 2008 ( Sale and Purchase Deed ) pursuant to which it was agreed by the Board of Directors to sell the Business and the Assets to iCardia for $1.00.
The intention of the parties is that the divestment of the IP, the Assets and the Business to iCardia is collateral to the sale of the Medical Shares, and completes the conditions precedent for sale of the Company’s entire interest in medical assets to iCardia, consideration for which has already been received pursuant to the Share Sale Agreement.
Completion of the Sale and Purchase Deed is conditional upon the Company obtaining Shareholder approval to sell the Assets and the Business pursuant to the
4
Sale and Purchase Deed, and treats as complete the original Share Sale Agreement.
Accordingly, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the Company to sell the Business, the IP and the Assets to iCardia and completes part of the conditions precedent of the Sale and Purchase Deed, as noted in 2.
Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Deed, the Company has also agreed to amend the nature of the consideration payable by iCardia to the Company for the acquisition of the Medical Shares. Under the terms of the Sale and Purchase Deed, the Company has agreed to the transfer of the Medical Shares and the Assets, the IP, the business records and the Seller’s loans to iCardia and will issue convertible notes to the value of $1,300,000 to Dr Allan Shell and Mrs Roma Shell, which shall then be deemed to extinguish the $2,460,405 debt owed by the Company to Dr Allan Shell and Mrs Roma Shell.
2. SALE AND PURCHASE DEED
The material terms of the Share Sale Agreement (as amended by the Sale and Purchase Deed) are as follows:
-
(a) The Company agreed to sell all of its interest in the Medical Shares to iCardia.
-
(b) In consideration for the acquisition of the Medical Shares, Dr Allan Shell and Mrs Roma Shell (the shareholders of iCardia) agreed to cancel all outstanding debt (including interest and charges) owed by the Company to Dr Allan Shell and Mrs Roma Shell, the value of which was $2,460,405.
Under the terms of the Sale and Purchase Deed, the Company has agreed to the transfer of the Medical Shares and the Intellectual Property (IP) Assets, the business records and the Seller’s loans to iCardia and will issue convertible notes to the value of $1,300,000 to Dr Allan Shell and Mrs Roma Shell, which shall then be deemed to extinguish the $2,460,405 debt owed by the Company to Dr Allan Shell and Mrs Roma Shell.
- (c) The Share Sale Agreement contained representations and warranties made by the Company in favour of iCardia which are standard for an agreement of this nature.
The Share Sale Agreement occurred in October 2007.
The material terms of the Sale and Purchase Deed are as follows:
-
(d) The Company has agreed to:
-
(i) sell all of its interest in the IP Assets and the Business to iCardia;
-
(ii) use its reasonable endeavours to ensure that as soon as practicable after settlement of the Sale and Purchase Deed, each contract relating to the Assets and nominated by iCardia be novated to iCardia; and
-
(iii) assign to iCardia all loans granted by the Company in connection with the Business and all trade debts owing to the Company in connection with the Business.
5
-
(e) The consideration for the sale is the payment of AUD$1.00 by iCardia to the Company at settlement of the Sale and Purchase Deed.
-
(f) The Sale and Purchase Deed is subject to the following conditions:
-
(i) approval by the Company’s Shareholders; and
-
(ii) the release of the Assets and the Business from the fixed and floating charges granted by the Company to Westpac Banking Corporations and Ozibiz Capital Pty Ltd.
-
(g) Completion of the Sale and Purchase Deed is to occur 5 business days after the satisfaction of the last of the conditions precedent referred to in paragraph (f).
-
(h) The Sale and Purchase Deed contains representations and warranties made by the Company in favour of iCardia which are standard for an agreement of this nature.
3. INFORMATION REGARDING THE BUSINESS AND THE ASSETS
Information regarding the impact of the sale of the Assets and Business have been stated in the Company’s Annual Financial Report, dated as at 28 September, 2007, notified to the ASX and sent to all Shareholders prior to the Annual General Meeting, held on 29 November, 2007.
Subsequent information on the Company’s accounts was provided to all Shareholders through the lodgement of an Appendix 4E, Preliminary Financial Report, to the ASX on 28 August, 2008.
4. FUTURE OF THE COMPANY AFTER COMPLETION OF THE SALE AND PURCHASE DEED
The Company has made a number of announcements to the ASX between 13 September, 2007, and the date of this Notice of Meeting in relation to the Company’s change of activities from a medical company to a property and property management business with a special focus on ‘over 50’s gated communities’. The Company subsequently changed its name from Medical Monitors Limited (ASX: MDM) to Shell Villages and Resorts Limited (ASX: SVC) with the consent of the Shareholders.
As notified to the ASX, on 31 July, 2008, the divestment of the Intellectual Property Assets and the Medical Business pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Deed will complete the Company’s divestment of its related medical assets, and allow the Company to focus on its new direction and business opportunities.
5. TIMETABLE
The timetable for completion of the Sale and Purchase Deed is as follows:
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Shareholder Meeting | 31 December 2008 |
| Satisfaction of the remaining conditions precedent to | 31 December 2008 |
| the Sale and Purchase Deed | |
| Completion of the Sale and Purchase Deed | 31 December 2008 |
These are anticipated dates and are subject to change.

6. DIRECTORS’ RECOMMENDATIONS
The Directors of SVC considered that the completion of the conditions precedent of the Sale and Purchase Deed, with Icardia and with Dr Allan Shell and Mrs Roma Shell, extinguished the $2,460,405 of debt owed by the Company to Dr Allan Shell and Mrs Roma Shell. By signing the Sale and Purchase Deed, the Directors considered that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Deed were fair and reasonable, insofar as the Shareholders are concerned, on the basis that the sale of the Intellectual Property, the relevant Assets and the Medical Business is collateral to the sale of the Medical Shares pursuant to the Share Sale Agreement.
The Directors who signed the Agreement and the Deed, in the absence of a superior proposal, consider that Shareholders vote in favour of the Sale and Purchase Deed by voting for Resolution 1.
