LED Medical Diagnostics Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LMD)(OTCQX:LEDIF)(FRANKFURT:LME)
("LED" or the "Company") announced today that effective October 10, 2013, Dr.
David Gane, DDS is being appointed as CEO. Dr. Gane is the former Vice
President, Dental Imaging, for Carestream Dental LLC (a daughter company of
Carestream Health LLC). LED's current CEO, company founder and president Peter
Whitehead, will voluntarily transition out of his management role to concentrate
on research, development, special projects and business opportunities. 


LED is no longer an early-stage company," said Whitehead. "The time has come for
a succession plan that makes room for new people on the executive team and which
improves our Sales and Marketing team. I have known Dr. Gane since the early
days of the Company, and am confident that he embodies the skill-sets and
experience appropriate to our next phase of growth. On a personal note, I remain
fully committed to LED and will be working closely with Dr. Gane to ensure a
seamless transition. I feel fortunate and very excited to continue my
relationship with the Company while returning to my roots as an inventor of
medical devices." 


David Gane DDS, BSc (Hons), has extensive experience in dentistry and the dental
imaging industry. Since 1988 he has served in executive capacities with
companies such as Source One Dental Imaging, Image FX Software Solutions and
DICOM Imaging Systems.


LED also announces that it has granted a total of 1,700,000 incentive stock
options to employees of the Company. Each stock option is exercisable to acquire
one Common Share of the Company at $0.40 per share and the options have terms
ranging from 32 months to 10 years. 


LED further announces that, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, it is
undertaking a non-brokered private placement of up to 15,000,000 units at an
issue price of CDN$0.35 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $5.25 million. Each
unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant with
each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share at an exercise
price of US$0.50 for a period of 24 months. LED may pay finders' fees with
respect to certain subscriptions in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange
policies. All of the securities issued in connection with the private placement
will be subject to a restricted period that expires four months after the
issuance date. 


The proceeds will be used by LED to build out LED's internal sales team, support
product development, to investigate additional opportunities in the dental
market and for working capital purposes.
