Resolution 7 - Issue of Ordinary Shares to Related Parties
Shareholders are being asked to approve Resolution 7 in connection with the
issue of a total of 5,400,050 Shares to Messrs Leone, Horley and Cannavo (or
their nominees) in satisfaction of accrued but unpaid remuneration.
In accordance with the AIM Rules, the Company has issued an announcement (the
"Announcement") in respect of the proposed issue of Shares to Messrs Leone,
Horley and Cannavo, as set out below, which is considered to be a related party
transaction under the AIM Rules (the definition of a related party under AIM
Rules includes, inter alia, any person appointed as a director within the last
twelve months preceding the date of the transaction). As set out in the
Announcement, the independent director of the Company (being Indrajit (Jitto)
Arulampalam) considers, having consulted with Strand Hanson Limited, that the
terms of the issue of the Shares to Messrs Leone, Horley and Cannavo are fair
and reasonable insofar as Shareholders are concerned.
+---------------------------+-------------+---------------+
| Name of Related Party | Number of | Amount being |
| | Shares to | satisfied |
| | be Issued | (AU$) |
+---------------------------+-------------+---------------+
| Vince Leone | 2,305,000 | 46,100.00 |
+---------------------------+-------------+---------------+
| Ross Horley | 1,886,700 | 37,734.00 |
+---------------------------+-------------+---------------+
| Frank Cannavo | 908,350 | 18,167.00 |
+---------------------------+-------------+---------------+
| Total | 5,100,050 | 102,001 |
+---------------------------+-------------+---------------+
By virtue of their position as current directors of the Company, Messrs Leone
and Cannavo are considered related parties of the Company. In accordance with
section 228 of the Corporations Act, any person who was a related party at any
time within the previous six months is also considered to be a related party of
the Company. Accordingly, approval is also sought for the issue of Shares to Mr
Horley (or his nominee).
Resolution 7 seeks Shareholder approval in order to comply with the requirements
of ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not
issue equity securities (including shares) to a related party of the company
unless the issue has been approved by shareholders by ordinary resolution.
Pursuant to Resolution 7 the Company seeks approval from Shareholders for the
issue of 5,100,050 Shares in accordance with the table outlined above. If
approval is given under Listing Rule 10.11, then approval is not required under
Listing Rule 7.1. In accordance with Listing Rule 10.13, the Company gives the
following additional information:
Date of issue
The Shares the subject of Resolution 7 will be issued within one month of the
passage of Resolution 7.
Reason for Issue
Shares are being offered in lieu of cash in respect of outstanding directors
fees.
Terms and Ranking of Shares
All Shares to be issued pursuant to Resolution 7 are to be issued on the same
terms as and rank equally with all other Shares on issue.
Issue price and value
The issue price and value related to each related party has been determined
based on the following criteria:
* Vince Leone joined the Company on 21 January 2009 following the Red Paragon
Acquisition (as announced on 20 January 2009) and was subsequently appointed as
a Director on 6 April 2009 and then Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of Medic
Vision on 4 June 2009. Medic Vision is due to pay Vince a sum of AU$46,100 for
services rendered during the period April to May 2009. To preserve Company cash,
Mr. Leone agreed, as per Minutes of Board Meeting dated 24 June 2009, to accept
shares in lieu of cash for this payment. This equates to an issue of 2,305,000
Shares at AU$0.02 per Medic Vision share, subject to Shareholder approval. To
further preserve the Company's cash position, Mr. Leone has agreed to
significantly lower terms and conditions for the provision of his services to
Medic Vision as of 1 June 2009. · Ross Horley was the Companys Managing Director up until 4 June 2009and
continued with the Company as an Executive Director up until 2 September 2009.
Mr. Horley was due a payment of AU$37,734 for services rendered during the
period April to May 2009. To preserve Company cash, Mr Horley agreed, as per
Minutes of Board Meeting dated 24 June 2009, to accept 1,886,700 Shares in lieu
of cash for this payment at a price of AU$0.02 per share, subject to Shareholder
approval. The terms and conditions for the provision of services by Mr. Horley
to Medic Vision were significantly reduced as of 1 June 2009. Mr. Horely later
resigned when the Company took measures to reduce costs when sales results were
less and operational costs were higher than forecast. Mr. Horely has agreed to
continue working for the company as a consultant on a case by case basis. · Frank Cannavo was appointed as an Executive Director of Medic Vision on 5
April 2007. Mr. Cannavo became a Non Executive Interim Chairman of Medic Vision
on 15 July 2009 and led the initiative to recruit the Companys new Chairman,
whilst continuing to support the Companys CEO and Board to realise the
Companys potential. Prior to becoming a Non Executive Director, Mr. Cannavo was
due a payment of AU$18,167 for services rendered during the period April to May
2009. To preserve Company cash, Mr. Cannavo agreed, as per Minutes of Board
Meeting dated 24 June 2009, to accept an issue of 908,334 Shares in lieu of cash
for this payment, at a price of AU$0.02 per share, subject to Shareholder
approval. Mr Cannavo continues to support the Company as a Non Executive
Director.
Resolution 8 - Issue of the Warrants to Strand Hanson Securities Limited
Strand Partners Limited (now renamed Strand Hanson Limited) ("Strand") was
appointed to act as Nominated Adviser to the Company on 31 October 2008, for a
period of two years from the date of appointment, under the terms of an
engagement letter between Strand and the Company dated 31 October 2008 (the
"Strand Engagement Letter"). In accordance with the terms of the Strand
Engagement Letter and the Warrant Instrument, Medic Vision agreed to issue the
Warrants to Strand.
The Warrant Instrument, requires the Company to obtain Shareholders approval to
issue the Warrant, no later than 30 June 2009. This date was not achieved as the
Company did not hold a general meeting at which the resolution could be proposed
prior to this date. The Warrant has not been issued as required under the terms
of the Strand Engagement Letter and the Warrant Instrument. Notwithstanding this
Strand has agreed to extend the deadline for approval to 11 December 2009 at
which point, should the issue of Warrants not have been approved, the Company
will be in beach of the Strand Engagement Letter.
The Listing Rules set out requirements, which must be satisfied in relation to
the issue of shares or securities. As noted earlier, ASX Listing Rule 7.1
requires that a listed company obtain shareholder approval prior to the issue of
shares or securities convertible into shares representing more than 15% of the
issued capital of that company in any twelve (12) month period. The allotment
and the issue of the shares referred to in this resolution will contravene the
provisions of Listing Rule 7.1 unless the prior approval of shareholders via a
general meeting is obtained.
ASX Listing Rule 7.3 requires specific information to be disclosed for
shareholders to approve an issue of shares or securities, which would otherwise
contravene Listing Rule 7.1. In accordance with Listing Rule 7.3 the following
information is provided in relation to this resolution:
* Following shareholder approval, Medic Vision will issue the Warrants, capable of
converting into such number of Shares as is equivalent to 2% of the issued share
capital of Medic Vision at the time of exercise, no later than three (3) months
after the date of the Meeting (or as modified by ASX waiver).
* Strand will pay Medic Vision AU$0.02 per Share.
* After issue, allotment and quotation on ASX, the Shares will rank equally with
the existing ordinary Shares in Medic Vision.
* The Shares will be issued to Strand Hanson Securities Limited.
* The Company confirms that none of the Warrants/Shares are being issued to
related parties.
Resolution 9 - Issue of Shares and Options to Vincenzo (Vince) Leone
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 states that an entity must not issue or agree to issue
equity securities to a related party without the approval of holders of ordinary
securities.
In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001,
shareholders are being asked to approve the issue of 3,500,000 Shares and
3,500,000 Options to an Executive Director, Vincenzo (Vince) Leone.
The total number of Shares to be issued to Mr. Leone is 3,500,000. The Shares
are being issued in lieu of part compensation being paid to Mr. Leone in his
capacity as Director and Chief Executive Officer.
The total maximum number of Options to be granted to Mr. Leone is 3,500,000.
Each Option will entitle the holder to subscribe for one ordinary share in the
Company. If Shareholder approval is gained the Options will be issued no later
than one month after the date of the Meeting. The Options will be issued for nil
consideration.
The exercise price of the Options shall be AU$0.045. The last trading price of
Shares on ASX at the time of preparing this notice was AU$0.02 (30 October
2009). The Company has raised capital via the issue of Convertible Note at
AU$0.02, so the option exercise price is at a significant premium to current the
market price. An Option may only be exercised after that Option has vested and
before its expiry date.
The Options will vest if, at any time following the date of issue and prior to
31 December 2012, the last sale price of the Shares on the ASX equals to or
exceeds AU$0.02 for 5 consecutive days trading.
The final exercise date or expiry date for the Options will be 31 December 2012.
If the Options vest and are subsequently exercised funds received upon exercise
of the options will be used for working capital purposes. There is no guarantee
that the options will be exercised. The Company will not be applying for
Official Quotation of the Options.
In order to preserve the Company's cash, the Directors have agreed to accept
substantially lower directors fees than would be viewed as customary practice
for a similar publicly listed company. The vesting conditions of the Options are
adequately linked to improvement in share price and hence shareholder value. The
Options will provide further incentive to improve the performance of the Company
to the commercial benefit of all Shareholders.
The Directors decline to make a recommendation to Shareholders in relation to
this Resolution due to a conflict of interest.
Resolution 10 - Issue of Options to Indrajit (Jitto) Arulampalam
ASX Listing Rule 10.11 states that an entity must not issue or agree to issue
equity securities to a related party without the approval of holders of ordinary
securities.
In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, shareholders

be issued for nil consideration.

Shares on ASX at the time of preparing this notice was AU$0.022 (30 October

AU$0.02, so the option exercise price is at a significant premium to current the

31 December 2012, the last sale price of the Shares on the ASX equals to or
exceeds AU$0.02 for 5 consecutive days trading.
The final exercise date or expiry date for the Options will be 31 December 2012.
If the Options vest and are subsequently exercised funds received upon exercise
of the Options will be used for working capital purposes. There is no guarantee
that the Options will be exercised. The Company will not be applying for
Official Quotation of the Options.
In order to preserve the Company's cash, the Directors have agreed to accept
substantially lower directors fees than would be viewed as customary practice
for a similar publicly listed company. The Options which are being provided to
the Directors will provide further incentive. The vesting conditions of the
Options are adequately linked to improvement in share price and hence
Shareholder value. The Options will provide further incentive to improve the
performance of the Company to the commercial benefit of all Shareholders.

Resolution 12 - Employee Share Option Plan
This Resolution seeks Shareholder approval to establish and maintain the

options to subscribe for shares in the Company from time to time to employees as
part of a performance based incentive program. The Options will be granted and

Options may be subject to vesting conditions. Please note that the Directors of
the Company are not eligible to participate in the Plan.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a listed Company must not, subject to certain
exceptions, issue or agree to issue more than 15% of its capital within a 12
month period without the approval of shareholders. An exception to Listing Rule
7.1 is Listing Rule 7.2 - Exception 9, which provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does
not apply to an issue under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years
of the date of issue, shareholders have approved the issue as an exception to
Listing Rule 7.1.
Shareholder approval is sought to establish and maintain the Plan and to enable
the Company to subsequently grant options to subscribe for share in the Company
in accordance with the Rules of the Plan ("Plan Rules") and as an exception to
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 - Exception 9.
No securities have been issued under the proposed Employee Share Option Plan as
at the date of this Explanatory Statement.
The Plan Rules are set out in Annexure A.
Resolution 13 -Placement of Shares
Assuming Resolutions 1 - 12 are approved, the Company will have taken steps to
convert debts into equity and improve the strength of its balance sheet.
However, the Company will still require further working capital in order to
pursue its objectives of continuing to grow its existing projects and to take
advantage of new opportunities as and when they arise.
The Directors seek Shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 13 to allot and
issue up to 100,000,000 new shares. Obtaining this approval will give the
Company flexibility to issue these Shares to ensure the Company has adequate
working capital to properly exploit both its existing projects and potential new
opportunities, including the two potential acquisitions, summary of details of
which were included in the Company's announcement released to the ASX and AIM on
26 October 2009.
The effect of Resolution 13 will be to allow the Directors to issue up to
100,000,000 of Shares during the period of 3 months after the Annual General
Meeting (or a longer period, if allowed by ASX), without using the Company's 15%
annual placement capacity.
The Directors are yet to determine who the Shares may be issued to but the
allottees will not be related parties (or their associates) of the Company.
The Shares will be issued to sophisticated investors and/or clients of
stockbroking firms.
It is envisaged that the allotment of the Shares will occur progressively and
that the funds raised will be used for working capital or for a potential
acquisition.
Technical information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.1
Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.3, the following
information is provided in relation to the Share Placement:
* the maximum number of Shares to be issued is up to 100,000,000;
* the Shares will be issued no later than 3 months after the date of the General
Meeting (or such later date to the extent permitted by any ASX waiver or
modification of the ASX Listing Rules) and it is intended that allotment will
occur on the same date;
* the issue price will not be less than 80% of the volume weighted average market
price (VWAP) for Shares calculated over the 5 days on which sales in the Shares
are recorded before the day on which the issue is made;
* if issued for the purposes of capital raising, the Shares will be allotted and
issued to sophisticated and professional investors within the meaning of Section
708 of the Corporation Act;
* the Shares issued will be fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the
Company issued on the same terms and conditions as the Company's existing
Shares;
* funds raised by the issue of the Shares will be used to fund expansion and
operational activities on the Company's assets and for general working capital
purposes; and
* the Shares may be issued for the purposes of full or part consideration in any
acquisition which meets the relevant selection criteria as determined by the
Directors.

the Plan Rules together with a holding statement confirming the issue of the
relevant Shares.
A Share issued pursuant to the exercise of any Option ranks equally with all
existing Shares of that class from the date of allotment.
PARTICIPATION IN FUTURE ISSUES
No Entitlement
There are no participating rights or entitlements inherent in the Options and
Option Holders will not be entitled to participate in new issues of securities
offered to Shareholders during the currency of the Options. However, the Company
will ensure that the record date for determining entitlements to any such issue
will be at least 10 business days after the issue is announced. Participants
shall be given the opportunity to exercise Options in accordance with section 7
of the Plan Rules prior to the record date for determining entitlements to
participate in any such issue.
Bonus Issues
In the event of a Bonus Issue of Shares being made pro-rata to ordinary
shareholders (other than issue in lieu of dividends), the number of Shares over
which an Option is exercisable will be increased by the number of Shares which
the Option Holder would have received if the Option had been exercised before
the record date for the Bonus Issue. No adjustment will be made to the exercise
price per share of the Option.
Pro Rata Issue
If, prior to the expiry or lapse of any Options there is a pro rata issue
(except a bonus issue) to the holders of Shares in the Company, the Exercise
Price of the options may be reduced in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.
Reorganisation of Capital
If, prior to the expiry or lapse of any Options, there is a reorganisation of
the Companys Capital, those Options will be reorganised in accordance with the
ASX Listing Rules.
OVERIDING RESTRICTIONS ON ISSUE
Notwithstanding anything else in these Rules an Option or a Share may not be
offered or issued if to do so:
1.1 Would contravene the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules; or
1.2 would contravene the local laws of, or the rules or requirements
of any regulatory or statutory body in, a Participants country of residence or
in the opinion of the Board compliance with those local laws, rules or
requirements would be impractical or result in any unnecessary or unreasonable
expense in the circumstances.
ADVICE
Independent Advice
Participants should obtain their own independent advice at their own expense on
the financial, taxation and other consequences to them of or relating to
participation in the plan.
Adjustment to Number of Options
The Company shall give notice to each Participant of any adjustment to the
number of Options which the Participant is entitled to be issued in accordance
with the Listing Rules.
Market Details
The Company will provide to a Participant upon request, within a reasonable
time, either verbally or in writing, details of the current market price (in
Australian dollars) of all Medic Vision listed securities.
COMPANYS RIGHTS NOT WAIVED
The Companys right to terminate or vary the terms of employment of any
Participant shall not be prejudiced in any way by the Company or any Participant
participating in the Plan or anything contained in these Rules or both. Further,
participation in the Plan and/or the rights or benefits of a Participant under
these Rules shall not be used as grounds for granting or increasing damages in
any action brought by any Participant against the Company whether in respect of
any alleged wrongful dismissal or otherwise.
None of the Company, its directors, officers or employees represents that the
Companys share price will attain, maintain or exceed any price. A Participant
who chooses to Exercise an Option issued under the Plan does so at his/her own
risk in that he/she may suffer financial detriment if the Companys share price
falls.
TAXATION
Neither the Company nor its Directors are liable for taxes assessed against or
imposed upon a person participating in the Plan and neither the Company nor its
Directors represents or warrants that any person will gain any taxation
advantage by participating in the Plan.
GOVERNING LAW
This Plan and these Rules shall in all respects be governed by and shall be
construed in accordance with the laws of Victoria, Australia.
SEVERENCE
If any provision in these Rules is void, voidable by any party or illegal, it
shall be read down so as to be valid and enforceable or, if it cannot be so read
down, the provision (or where possible, the offending words) shall be severed
from these Rules without affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of
the remaining provisions (or parts of those provisions) of these Rules which
shall continue in full force and effect.
AMENDMENT OF RULES
The Board will have the power to alter or add to the terms and conditions of the
Plan Rules, subject to and in accordance with the Corporations Act and the
Listing Rules (including any waivers granted by the ASX)
TERMINATION OF THE PLAN
The Board may terminate the Plan at any time; upon termination of the Plan the
Company shall not make any further issue of Options under the Plan.
