PROSPECTUS SUMMARY |
Business Summary
Global Med Technologies, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Colorado in December 1989 (unless otherwise noted, references herein to Global Med, the Company, we, our, and us refer to Global Med Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries). We are an international medical software company that develops regulated and non-regulated products and services for the healthcare industry. We are a leading provider of blood and laboratory software systems and services and our products are deployed in 20 countries and serve over 1,600 transfusion centers, blood banks and laboratories.
Global Meds domestic divisions are Wyndgate Technologies®, a leader in software products and services for donor centers and hospital transfusion services; eDonor®, which offers web-based donor relationship management systems; and PeopleMed.com, Inc., which provides software validation, consulting and compliance solutions to hospitals and donor centers. PeopleMed.com, Inc. is owned 83% by Global Med Technologies, Inc., 11% by the Companys Chairman and CEO, and 6% by third parties. Our European subsidiary, Inlog, S.A., is a developer of donor center and transfusion management systems as well as cellular therapy software, laboratory information systems and quality assurance medical software systems which are marketed internationally.
On June 26, 2008, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the capital stock of Inlog S.A., a French company and its subsidiaries (Inlog) for a maximum purchase price of $11.5 million in a combination of cash, stock and earn out payments.
On August 1, 2008, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Blueridge Solutions, LC, doing business as eDonor (eDonor) for $3.5 million in cash and the issuance of $1.5 million of our common stock.
Global Med designs, develops, markets and supports information management software products for blood banks, hospitals, centralized transfusion centers and other health care related facilities. Revenues are derived from the software licenses, annual maintenance fees, implementation, consulting and other value added support services, and the resale of software obtained from vendors.
Our core products and their related components were developed by our Wyndgate division and include: SafeTrace®, SafeTrace Tx®, and our ElDorado product suite. As of December 31, 2008 these products were in use in over 740 sites in five countries. SafeTrace is used to assist community blood centers, hospitals, plasma centers and outpatient clinics in the U.S. in complying with the quality and safety standards of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the FDA) for the collection and management of blood and blood products. SafeTrace Tx is a transfusion management information system that is designed to be used by hospitals and centralized transfusion centers to help insure the quality of blood transfused into patient-recipients. SafeTrace Tx provides electronic cross-matching capabilities to help insure blood compatibility with patient-recipients and tracks, inventories, bills and documents all activities with blood products from the time blood products are received in inventory to the time the blood products are used or returned to blood centers. SafeTrace Tx complements SafeTrace, because the combined SafeTrace Tx and SafeTrace software system is also able to integrate hospitals with blood centers and provide a vein-to-veinÒ tracking of the blood supply.
Our ElDorado product suite represents the next generation of our software and will provide a fully-integrated menu of blood management products using advanced tools and technologies. Donor Doc, the first module of the ElDorado product suite was released in May 2007. Donor Doc is an electronic history questionnaire that assists in the blood donor screening process. In February 2008, we released ElDorado Donor, a comprehensive blood management software application designed to provide for the information system needs of blood banks and donor centers. The software manages, automates, and controls activities associated with donors, donor collections, testing, manufacturing, inventory, and distribution. ElDorado Donor was developed with scalability in mind and can manage the system needs of diverse facilities, from small hospital blood banks to community blood centers, to regional and national centers, both domestically and internationally. The blood management software has been designed with input from our technology workgroup which is comprised of leading industry representatives from around the world. The work group's contributions were considered throughout the ElDorado Donor development process to produce a feature-rich and user-friendly solution.
Our Inlog S.A. subsidiary, which we acquired on June 26, 2008, has been developing, implementing, and supporting its blood bank information management solutions since 1992 and currently supplies over 800 sites in 15 countries with its products. Its product line consists of five primary products: EdgeBlood (for the donor center market), EdgeTrace (for the hospital transfusion market), EdgeLab (a laboratory information system LIS), EdgeCell (cellular therapy for tissue banks, stem cell centers and cord blood centers) and SAPA (a regulatory compliance and document management solution). Inlog recently completed the national installation
- 7 -
of its EdgeBlood product in France where all of that countrys 2.5 million annual blood donations are transacted through EdgeBlood including blood collections, infectious disease testing, component manufacturing and distribution. In addition to France, Inlog has software applications in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Greece and Monaco, among other countries.
Our eDonor product, which we acquired on August 1, 2008 with the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Blueridge Solutions, L.C., doing business as eDonor, is a web-based donor relationship management system that integrates recruitment, scheduling, retention and fulfillment for blood donation centers of all sizes. As of December 31, 2008, eDonor was in use at 77 sites.
In 1999, we introduced PeopleMed, through our PeopleMed.com, Inc. subsidiary. PeopleMed supports chronic disease management as an Application Service Provider (ASP). PeopleMeds system helps system users coordinate sources of information and users of a patients clinical information, including laboratory, pharmacy, primary and specialty care providers, claims, and medical records. PeopleMed began offering validation services to the blood bank industry late in 2007 Validation services include documenting and testing systems to enable the user of these systems to conform to specific requirements and regulations. In the fall of 2007, PeopleMeds services were expanded to include validation activities and offering of quality-certified resources to help clients and non-clients perform FDA-required user validation testing on blood bank software systems prior to clients first use of our software (Go-Live). In addition to Go-Live activities, PeopleMed also offers independent services for system revalidation for clients who are upgrading to newer versions.
With our acquisitions of Inlog and eDonor, our software products are now used in 20 countries, including the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, European Union, Africa, French Polynesia, and New Caledonia, among others. With the acquisition of Inlog we immediately expanded our international footprint and with the acquisition of eDonor we gained a complementary product to our existing product offerings. We believe these acquisitions position us for further growth through cross-selling opportunities, particularly through our plans to integrate eDonor in our SafeTrace and ElDorado Donor products and our plans to introduce Inlogs EdgeCell product in the United States.
We intend to continue to commit significant research and development resources to the development of our ElDorado product suite, as well as to continuously improving our existing products. Some of our new products will be considered medical devices by the FDA and we will be required to obtain FDA 510(k) clearance for these medical devices prior to their sale or introduction into the U.S. market, as more fully discussed below in Government Approval and Regulation. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, total research and software development expenditures totaled $4.108 million and $3.344 million, respectively. Of the total expenditures during 2008 and 2007, $284 thousand and $173 thousand, respectively, were capitalized.

RISK FACTORS |
You should carefully consider the risks described below before purchasing our common stock. Our most significant risks and uncertainties are described below; however, they are not the only risks we face. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the trading of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment therein. You should acquire shares of our common stock only if you can afford to lose your entire investment. We have organized our Risk Factors under captions that we believe describe various categories of potential risk. For your convenience, we have not duplicated risk factors that could be considered to be included in more than one category.
Risks Related to Our Business |
Our reported revenue and operating results may fluctuate widely due to irregular sales cycles, contract terms and the application of accounting rules.
The sales cycle for our products, which is the period of time between the identification of a potential customer and completion of the sale, is typically lengthy and subject to a number of factors over which we have little control, such as our customers budgeting constraints and approval processes. Our revenue can fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on our customers buying decisions. In addition, our ability to recognize revenue from software sales can be impacted by contract terms and the application of accounting rules for revenue recognition to contracts that include deliverable and non-deliverable software products, services for modification or customization of our software, acceptance criteria and other contingencies.
We are dependent on major channel partners to sell our products into certain markets, the loss of any of which could have a materially adverse effect on our business
Our medical software products and services are sold through our direct sales force and through our 15 channel partners, most of which are engaged in the sale and marketing of laboratory information systems. Our direct sales force tends to focus on blood donation centers, plasma centers, transfusion centers and hospitals that are purchasing a new blood management information system, replacing antiquated technology or sunsetted products, or upgrading their current system. We typically rely on our channel partners to reach potential customers who are purchasing a comprehensive LIS, including a blood management information system. One of our channel partners accounted for 14.5% and 25.2% of our revenue during 2008 and 2007, respectively and our operating results may be adversely affected if we do not maintain such relationships.
We may not be able to realize our sales backlog as expected which could reduce our revenue and operating results.
As of December 31, 2008, our sales backlog of unrecognized revenue totaled $9.9 million. While this amount represents contracted sales for which revenue has not been recognized, we may ultimately not be able to realize the revenue as expected if our customer delays the project, cancels the order or is otherwise unable to move forward or if we are unable to complete the project for any reason.
Our substantial recurring maintenance revenue could be reduced if we fail to meet service requirements.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, annual maintenance fees represented over 50% of our revenue. Our maintenance agreements range in term from single year to multi-year agreements. Maintenance consists of product bug fixes, continued regulatory compliance, and product updates. If we fail to continue to meet our maintenance commitments, a significant portion of our revenues could be at risk which could reduce our revenue and operating results.
Our results are vulnerable to general economic conditions.
Worsening general economic conditions or a prolonged or recurring recession could adversely affect our operating results if our customers decide to delay or cancel plans to purchase, upgrade or support their healthcare management information systems. In an economic slowdown, we may also experience the negative effects of increased competitive pricing pressure, customer turnover, reductions in customer consulting service requirements and a decline in our customers credit worthiness.
Our cash flows from operations may fluctuate widely from quarter to quarter and our revenue and cash receipts may not be sufficient to meet the operating needs of our business.
- 10 -
The operating cash flows of our Inlog subsidiary are highly seasonal as the majority of its annual maintenance and support fees are billed and collected during the first quarter, while the fourth quarter is characterized by annual cash outflows for taxes and mandated employee-related payments. Consequently, Inlogs cash flows tend to be the highest during the first half of the year and the lowest during the second half of the year. Due to Inlogs significance, our consolidated cash flows from operations are expected to follow this pattern. In addition, our consolidated revenue and cash receipts may not be sufficient to meet our operating needs and other obligations. If this were to be the case, we may need to take action to reduce our operating costs or take other measures to increase or maintain our liquidity. There is no assurance that such actions will be sufficient to provide adequate cash flow to expand our business or continue to operate at our current levels.
If we are unable to successfully integrate the operations of Inlog and eDonor, our revenue and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our operating costs could increase even further if we are unable to successfully combine the acquired operations of Inlog and eDonor or integrate the systems and procedures including research and development, integrated sales, accounting and financial reporting, or to realize the revenue synergies we expect from the combined companies. Our pro forma combined financial results cover a period during which we were not under common control or management and, therefore, are not indicative of our future financial or operating results. Our failure to integrate Inlog and eDonor and obtain all of the expected benefits could impair our future revenue and operating results.
Our business and our software products are subject to substantial competition which may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain customers.
There is substantial competition in all aspects of the medical software industry. Numerous companies are developing technologies and marketing products and services in the healthcare information management area. Many competitors in the blood bank industry have received FDA clearance for their products. Many of these competitors have been in business longer and have substantially greater personnel and financial resources than Global Med which could make their products and services more attractive than ours which may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain customers.
Our revenue may be dependent on our ability to update and enhance our existing products and services and to develop new ones.
The market for applications software is characterized by rapidly changing technology and by changes from mainframe to client/server computer technology, including frequent new product introductions and technological enhancements in the applications software business. During the last ten years, the use of computer technology in the information management industry has expanded significantly to create intense competition. With rapidly expanding technology and our limited resources, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to acquire or maintain any technological advantage. Our success will be in large part dependent on our ability to use developing technology to our maximum advantage and to remain competitive in price and product performance. If we are unable to acquire or maintain a technological advantage, or if we fail to stay current and evolve in the applications software and information management fields, we may be forced to curtail or reduce our planned expenditures which could negatively impact our business operations.
We cannot be certain that our research and development activities will be successful.
While we are committed to enhancing our software products and services and introducing new products, we cannot be certain that our research and development activities will be successful. Furthermore, we may not have sufficient financial resources to identify and develop new technologies and bring new products to market in a timely and cost effective manner, and we cannot ensure that any such products will be commercially successful and profitable if and when they are introduced.
We depend significantly upon our intellectual property rights and the failure to protect our rights could reduce our revenue and/or increase our operating costs.
Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain and enforce intellectual property rights for our technology and software, both in the United States and in other countries. Our proprietary software is protected by the use of copyrights, trademarks, confidentiality agreements and license agreements that restrict the unauthorized distribution of our proprietary data and limit our software products to the customers internal use only. In addition, we have obtained a patent for our SafeTrace Tx product. While we have attempted to limit unauthorized use of our software products or the dissemination of our proprietary information, we may not be able to retain our proprietary software rights and prohibit the unauthorized use of proprietary information. Any patents, copyrights, or
- 11 -
trademarks we have or may obtain may not be sufficiently broad to protect our products, may be subject to challenge, invalidated or circumvented and may not provide competitive advantages. In addition, our competitors may independently develop technologies or products that are substantially equivalent or superior. If our software products infringe upon the rights of others, we may be subject to suit for damages or an injunction to cease the use of such products. Our industry is characterized by frequent intellectual property litigation based on allegations of infringement of intellectual property rights. Although we are not aware of any intellectual property claims against us, we may be a party to litigation in the future that could force us to reduce our planned expenditures which could negatively impact our business operations. For example, on April 25, 2008, we received a letter from their patent counsel stating that a third party, Mediware, has filed for a reexamination of our issued patent. We believe our patent is valid and also believe it will prevail in any reexamination.
Our success also depends in part on our ability to develop commercially viable products without infringing the proprietary rights of others. We have not conducted freedom of use patent searches and patents may exist or could be filed which would have an adverse effect on our ability to market our products or maintain our competitive position with respect to our products.
Failure to comply with government regulations and requirements could preclude us from continuing to market our existing products or introducing new products which could adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.
Our SafeTrace, SafeTrace Tx and ElDorado products and services are subject to regulations adopted by governmental authorities, including the FDA, which govern blood center computer software products regulated as medical devices. Compliance with government regulations can be costly and burdensome and may result in our incurring product development delays and substantial costs. In addition, modifications to such regulations could materially adversely affect the timing and cost of new products and services we introduce. We cannot predict the effect of possible future legislation and regulation. We also are required to follow applicable Good Manufacturing Practices regulations of the FDA, which include testing, control and documentation requirements, as well as similar requirements in other countries, including International Standards Organization 9001 standards. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in, among other things, operating and marketing restrictions and fines, and which could reduce our revenue and operating results.
We may be subject to product liability exposure.
We have product liability exposure for defects in our products that may become apparent through widespread use of our products. To date, we have not had any claims filed against us involving our products and we are not aware of any material problems with them. While we will continue to attempt to take appropriate precautions, we may not be able to completely avoid product liability exposure. We maintain product liability insurance on a claims made basis for our products in the aggregate of at least $4 million. Although we have had a history of being able to obtain such coverage at reasonable prices, such coverage may not be available in the future, or at reasonable prices, or in amounts adequate to cover any product liabilities that we may incur. In the event that we do not have adequate insurance to cover any product liabilities that we may incur, we could incur substantial costs. In addition, any actual or perceived defect in our products could adversely affect the markets perception of us and our products, and could have an adverse effect on our reputation and the demand for our products.
We may pursue strategic acquisitions and if we are unable to successfully acquire or integrate these companies, we may not be able to grow our revenue
As part of our business strategy, we may seek to acquire companies that sell software products that complement our current product mix, particularly companies focused on critical health management. We may use either equity or debt financing or our cash to make acquisitions. There is no assurance that our cash will be adequate and that equity or debt financing will be available on terms favorable to us. In the event we are not able to successfully acquire companies, we may not be able to grow our revenue. In the event we are able to acquire other companies, we may be subject to a number of risks related to the integration and management of such companies, including failure to obtain valid consents to assignment of contracts, failure of the business of the acquired company to achieve expected results, diversion of managements attention, and failure to retain key personnel of the acquired company.
We depend on our key personnel for the success of our business and the loss of one or more key personnel could have an adverse effect on our ability to manage our business.
Our success and our ability to manage our business depend upon the efforts and continued service of our senior management team. The loss of one or more of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations as there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain senior management and key employees having competency in those
- 12 -
substantive areas deemed important to the successful implementation of our plans. The inability to do so or any difficulties encountered by management in establishing effective working relationships among them may adversely affect our business and prospects. Currently, we do not carry key person life insurance for any of our executive management or key employees.
Risks Related to International Operations |
We face a number of risks associated with international operations.
On June 26, 2008, we completed the acquisition of Inlog S.A., a French company and its subsidiaries, including one located in Germany. We face a number of risks relating to remotely managing foreign operations including: linguistic and cultural differences; differing regulatory environments impacting our technology and our customer base; differing labor standards; difficulties and costs of staffing and managing international operations; different economic conditions; and potentially adverse tax consequences. Our failure to adequately acknowledge and manage these conditions and risks could adversely impact our revenue and our operating results.
We are subject to foreign exchange risks.
We are subject to foreign exchange risks because we report our results from operations in U.S. dollars, while our Inlog subsidiarys revenue and expenses are denominated in Euros and converted to U.S. dollars in consolidation. For the year ended December 31, 2008, Inlog accounted for approximately 22% of our total revenue, based on its results from June 26, 2008 through December 31, 2008. We expect Inlog to account for a much larger percentage of our revenue in 2009, which will include a full year of Inlogs results. A decrease in the value of the Euro against the U.S. dollar could affect our consolidated profitability. We currently do not hold forward exchange contracts to manage the foreign currency exchange risk.
Risks Related to Our Stock |
Our common stock is deemed to be a penny stock, subject to special requirement and conditions, and may not be a suitable investment.
Our common stock is deemed to be penny stock as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). Penny stocks are stocks:
Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to resell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline.
Our common stockholders could face substantial potential dilution from our Series A Preferred and outstanding stock options, warrants, unvested restricted stock and contingently issuable shares.
As of December 31, 2008, we had 34.067 million shares of common stock outstanding. In addition, our outstanding Series A Preferred was convertible into approximately 8.3 million shares and outstanding stock options, warrants, contingently issuable shares to the Inlog sellers and unvested restricted stock totaled approximately 19.8 million as of that date. Accordingly, fully-diluted shares outstanding as of December 31, 2008 totaled approximately 62.2 million shares. We cannot predict the actual number of shares of common stock that will be issued upon the conversion our Series A Preferred or upon the exercise of stock options and warrants however, existing common stockholders could experience significant dilution.
- 13 -
The market price of our common stock is highly volatile which may limit our investors ability to actively trade their shares of our common stock.
The market price of our common stock has been and is expected to continue to be highly volatile. Factors, including announcements of technological innovations by us or other companies, regulatory matters, new or existing products or procedures, concerns about our financial position, operating results, litigation, government regulation, developments or disputes relating to agreements, patents or proprietary rights, among other items, may have a significant impact on the market price of our stock.
We do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock.
We have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock. Our dividend practices are determined by our Board of Directors and may be changed from time to time. We will base any issuance of dividends upon our earnings (if any), financial condition, capital requirements, acquisition strategies, and other factors considered important by our Board of Directors. Colorado law and our Articles of Incorporation do not require our Board of Directors to declare dividends on our common stock. We expect to retain any earnings generated by our operations for the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any dividends to our common stockholders for the foreseeable future.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS |
This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements regarding managements plans and objectives for future operations including plans and objectives relating to our planned marketing efforts and future economic performance. The forward-looking statements and associated risks set forth in this Prospectus include or relate to, among other things, (a) our projected sales and profitability, (b) our growth strategies, (c) anticipated trends in our industry, (d) our ability to obtain and retain sufficient capital for future operations, and (e) our anticipated needs for working capital. These statements may be found in this Prospectus generally. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under Risk Factors and matters described in this Prospectus generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will in fact occur.
The forward-looking statements herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that there will be no material adverse competitive or technological change in conditions in our business, that demand for our products will significantly increase, that our Chief Executive Officer and President will remain employed as such, that our forecasts accurately anticipate market demand, and that there will be no material adverse change in our operations or business or in governmental regulations affecting us or those entities that use our products and services. The foregoing assumptions are based on judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any such assumption could prove to be inaccurate and therefore there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in forward-looking statements will be realized. In addition, as disclosed elsewhere in the Risk Factors section of this Prospectus, there are a number of other risks inherent in our business and operations which could cause our operating results to vary markedly and adversely from prior results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Growth in absolute and relative amounts of cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses or the occurrence of extraordinary events could cause actual results to vary materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Management decisions, including budgeting, are subjective in many respects and periodic revisions must be made to reflect actual conditions and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter marketing, capital investment and other expenditures, which may also materially adversely affect our results of operations. In light of significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included in this Prospectus, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved.
Some of the information in this Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Any statement in this Prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference into this Prospectus that is not a statement of an historical fact constitutes a forward-looking statement. Further, when we use the words may, expect, anticipate, plan, believe, seek, estimate, internal, and similar words, we intend to identify statements and expressions that may be forward-looking statements. We believe it is important to communicate certain of our expectations to our investors. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause our future results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Many factors are beyond our ability to
- 14 -
control or predict. You are accordingly cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Important factors that may cause our actual results to differ from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risk factors discussed below. Before you invest in our common stock, you should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described under Risk Factors above or elsewhere in this Prospectus could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. In such a case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.
In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this filing will in fact occur. In addition to the information expressly required to be included in this filing, we will provide such further material information, if any, as may be necessary to make the required statements, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.
USE OF PROCEEDS |
This Prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders.

Shares Acquired Pursuant To Financing Transaction With Global Med
Pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, Global Med sold $9.975 million of Series A Preferred to certain investors. The Company received $9.85 million in cash proceeds for the Series A Preferred. Of the $9.975 million in Series A Preferred, Fusion Capital received $575,000 in Series A Preferred. Fusion Capital had provided the Company with $450,000 in cash proceeds during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. These proceeds were originally to be applied towards the purchase of common stock. In conjunction with the other investors purchases of Series A Preferred, the Company and Fusion Capital terminated their common stock purchase agreement and entered into a new agreement to purchase Series A Preferred. As a result, the Company allocated the $450,000 in proceeds previously received from Fusion Capital towards the purchase of the $575,000 in Series A Preferred. The Series A Preferred includes detachable warrants for the purchase of common stock that can be exercised at $0.72 per common share. The following table summarizes the unregistered securities that were issued by the Company in conjunction with the transaction:

Security | Value | Equivalents | ||
Series A Preferred | $ | 9,975 | 13,854,167 | |

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION |
Each selling stockholder of the common stock of Global Med and any of their pledges, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), if available, rather than under this Prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this Prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed 8%.
- 19 -
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this Prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this Prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling stockholders.
We agreed to keep this Prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to the Prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this Prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this Prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
The Colorado Business Corporation Act (the Act) generally allows for the indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of a corporation against liabilities incurred in any proceeding in which an individual is made a party because he was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation if such person conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed his actions were in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Global Meds Articles of Incorporation provide that Global Med shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any person, and the estate and personal representative of any such person, against all liability and expense (including attorneys fees) incurred by the reason that he is or was a director or officer of Global Med, or while serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary, or agent of, another corporation, individual, entity or of an employee benefit plan. In addition, Global Meds Bylaws provide that in the event of any proceeding in which a person is involved or which may give rise to a right of indemnification, following written request to the Company by the party, the Company shall pay to the person, to the fullest extent permitted by law, amounts to cover expenses incurred by the party in, relating to or as a result of such proceeding in advance of its final disposition.
The foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Act and Global Meds Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled or subsequently acquire under any statute, provision of Global Meds Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to Global Meds directors, officers or controlling persons, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Global Med may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person or entity who or which is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any liability asserted against or incurred by such person or entity in such capacity or arising out of such persons or entitys status as such, whether or not Global Med would have the power to indemnify such person or entity against such liability under the Act, or the provisions of Global Meds Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.
