Imaging Dynamics Company Ltd.

Calgary, Alberta – May 11, 2018 - Imaging Dynamics Company Ltd. ("IDC" or the "Company") (TSXV:IDL) is pleased to announce that the financing of Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, IDC Shanghai, has closed (the “Transaction”) effective May 2nd, 2018. IDC Shanghai entered into a financing arrangement with Beijing Sheng Zexin Technology Development Co (BSZ), Beijing Xiangyuda Technology Co. (BXT), and Shanghai FuLi Medical Technology Limited Partnership (“FuLi”). The financing arrangement will result in the following ownership structure: BSZ – 36.5%, BXT – 30.5%, FuLi – 13% and IDC 20%, pursuant to which BSZ, BXT and Fuli will subscribe for 36.5 million common shares (“Shares”), 30.5 million shares and 13 million shares, respectively, in the capital of the Subsidiary, at a price of 1 Renminbi (“RMB”) per share, for gross proceeds of RMB 80 million (approximately CAD $16,091,108).

Full Description of Material Change

The company expects that the Transaction may (a) allow the Subsidiary to improve market penetration in China, where relatively recent changes to government policies and regulations require state owned hospitals, which comprise more than 80% of medical devices market share in China, to purchase medical devices from locally owned or controlled companies; (b) may provide IDC with capital needed to explore strategic growth opportunities both in and outside of China, as well as provide the Subsidiary with the capital needed to support its Chinese operations in the near term; (c) may generally improve the financial situation of both the Subsidiary and the Company and may increase the Company’s credit rating through the repayment of debt.

Proceeds from the Transaction will be used for the repayment of debt of the Subsidiary, research and development of new technology and products, and general corporate purposes of the Subsidiary. As a result of the Transaction, BSZ and BXT now hold 36.5% and 30.5%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Subsidiary. Both BSZ and BXT are arm’s length parties. Pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreements, it is expected that the composition of the Subsidiary’s board of directors will change.

Impact on the Company

Prior to the closing of the Transaction, revenue generated by the Subsidiary constituted approximately 80% of the revenues of the Company on a consolidated basis. It is anticipated that the Transaction may result in a significant and material decrease in IDC’s sales revenue as well as its recognized losses.

The Company also expects that the Transaction may improve the long-term financial health of the Subsidiary and the Company. IDC believes that the Transaction may also result in an increase in the Company’s revenues in the second half of the year in 2018 due to the Subsidiary’s improved access to the Chinese’s medical device market.
