DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General

The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 25,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.10 per share (“Common Stock”), and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”).

Common Stock

Voting Rights

Subject to any special voting rights of any preferred stock that the Company may issue in the future, each outstanding share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters requiring a vote of shareholders.  At any shareholder meeting, the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders holding of record a majority of the votes of shares of the Company then issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of any business.  Holders of Common Stock are not entitled to cumulative voting.  Directors standing for election at any meeting are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote in the election.  The Company’s Board of Directors is “classified” such that, at each annual meeting of shareholders, approximately one-third of the directors are elected to three-year terms.   Any other corporate action, other than the election of directors, to be taken by vote of the shareholders, may be authorized by a majority of votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote on the matter.

Preemptive Rights

Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights to subscribe for additional shares.

Redemption, Conversion and Sinking Funds

The shares of our Common Stock are not subject to any redemption provisions and are not convertible into any other shares of our capital stock.  Holders of our Common Stock are not entitled to any sinking fund provisions.

Liability for Future Calls and Assessments

Our outstanding Common Stock is validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, except that, during such time as no shares of Mediware’s capital stock are listed on a national securities exchange or are regularly quoted in an over-the-counter market, under Section 630 of the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York, the ten largest shareholders of the Company may be personally liable for debts or wages owed to any of the Company’s employees for services performed by them for the Company.

Dividends and Distributions

Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock that may be issued in the future, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any limitations for dividends contained in any of the Company’s outstanding debt instruments.  In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the Company, all holders of Common Stock are entitled to a pro rata share in any distribution of the assets of the Company remaining and available to holders of Common Stock after payment of claims of creditors and liquidation preferences of any Preferred Stock.

Nasdaq Capital Market
 
The Company’s Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MEDW.”
 
Preferred Stock

As of December 2, 2011, no shares of Preferred Stock were outstanding.  At the direction of the Board of Directors, the Company may issue shares of Preferred Stock from time to time. Our Board of Directors may, without any action by holders of our Common Stock, adopt resolutions to issue Preferred Stock in one or more series and establish or change the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock.

The rights of any series of Preferred Stock may include:
 
           •            voting rights;
 
           •            liquidation preferences;
 
           •            dividend rights;
 
           •            redemption rights;
 
           •            conversion or exchange rights; and
 
           •            sinking funds.

The issuance of Preferred Stock could, among other things:
 
           •            adversely affect the voting, dividend, and liquidation rights of the Common Stock;
 
           •            discourage or impede an unsolicited proposal to acquire the Company; or
 
           •            facilitate a particular business combination involving the Company.

Any of these actions could discourage a transaction that some or a majority of our shareholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which our shareholders might receive a premium for their stock over its then market price. The Company is not aware of any effort to accumulate its Common Stock or obtain control of the Company by a tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and the Company has no present intention of using shares of Preferred Stock for anti-takeover purposes.
