PROXY STATEMENT
Dated April 17, 1997
For a Special Meeting of Shareholders
To be Held May 1, 1997
This Proxy Statement is furnished to shareholders in
connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of
Directors of Housecall Medical Resources, Inc. ("Housecall" or
the "Company") for use at a Special Meeting of Shareholders
("Special Meeting") to be held on Thursday, May 1, 1997,
including any postponement, adjournment, or adjournments thereof,
for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Special
Meeting. Management intends to mail this Proxy Statement and the
accompanying form of proxy to shareholders on or about April 17,
1997.
Only shareholders of record at the close of business on
April 14, 1996 (the "Record Date"), are entitled to notice of and
to vote in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting. As of the
Record Date, there were 10,276,781 shares of common stock, $.01
par value per share ("Common Stock"), of Housecall outstanding
and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. The presence of a
majority of such shares is required, in person or by proxy, to
constitute a quorum for the conduct of business at the Special
Meeting. Each share is entitled to one vote on any matter
submitted for vote by the shareholders.
Proxies in the accompanying form, duly executed and returned
to the management of the Company, and not revoked, will be voted
at the Special Meeting. Any proxy given pursuant to this
solicitation may be revoked by the shareholder at any time prior
to the voting of the proxy by delivery of a subsequently dated
proxy, by written notification to the Secretary of the Company,
or by personally withdrawing the proxy at the Special Meeting and
voting in person.
Proxies that are executed but which do not contain any
specific instructions will be voted for the approval of the
amendment and restatement of the Company's 1996 Stock Option and
Restricted Stock Purchase Plan, as described below (the "Amended
and Restated Plan") (the original Plan and the Amended and
Restated Plan are sometimes collectively referred to herein as
the "Plan"), and, in the discretion of the persons appointed as
proxies, on any other matter that may properly come before the
Special Meeting or any postponement, adjournment or adjournments
thereof, including any vote to postpone or adjourn the Special
Meeting.
APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF
THE 1996 STOCK OPTION AND RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
(PROPOSAL 1)
SUMMARY AND PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT
The Board of Directors voted to amend and restate the
original Plan on March 14, 1997 to increase the shares of Common
Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan from 500,000 shares
to 1,300,000 shares, subject to shareholder approval. The Amended
and Restated Plan, if approved by the shareholders, will be
effective as of such date. In all other respects, the terms of
the Amended and Restated Plan are the same as those of the
original Plan.
The Board of Directors believes that the Plan plays an
integral role in the ability of the Company to attract and retain
key employees and directors and to provide incentives for such
persons to promote the financial success of the Company. Because
almost all shares available for issuance under the Plan are the
subject of options that have been granted, the number of shares
authorized for issuance pursuant to the Plan must be increased to
allow the Board to grant further awards under the Plan. In the
opinion of the Board of Directors, an increase in the number of
shares to 1,300,000 is necessary to give the Company a sufficient
amount of shares to meet anticipated needs for options or stock
grants under the Plan to be able to attract, retain, and motivate
key employees.
The following description of the material features of the
Plan is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the Plan, a copy of which will be provided to any shareholder
upon written request to the Company.
DESCRIPTION OF AWARDS
Awards granted under the Plan may be "incentive stock
options" ("ISOs"), as defined in Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("IRC"), "nonqualified stock
options" ("NSOs"), or shares of Common Stock subject to terms and
conditions set by the Board of Directors ("restricted stock
awards"). ISOs may be granted only to full-time employees
(including officers) of the Company or its subsidiaries. NSOs
and restricted stock awards may be granted to any person employed
by or performing services for the Company or its subsidiaries,
including directors.
ISOs are subject to certain limitations prescribed by the
IRC, including the requirement that such options may not be
granted to employees who own more than 10% of the combined voting
power of all classes of voting stock (a "principal shareholder")
of the Company, unless the option price is at least 110% of the
fair market value of the Common Stock subject to the option. In
addition, an ISO granted to a principal shareholder may not be
exercisable more than five years from its date of grant. The
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company
(or the full Board) otherwise generally has discretion to set the
terms and conditions of options and restricted stock awards,
including the term, exercise price, and vesting conditions, if
any; to select the persons who receive such grants and awards;
and to interpret and administer the Plan.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
Under current tax law, a holder of an ISO under the Plan
does not, as a general matter, realize taxable income upon the
grant or exercise thereof. (Depending upon the holder's income
tax situation, however, the exercise of the ISO may have
alternative minimum tax implications). In general, a holder of
an ISO will only recognize gain at the time that Common Stock
acquired through exercise of the ISO is sold or otherwise
disposed of. In that situation, the amount of gain which the
optionee must recognize is equal to the amount by which the value
of the Common Stock on the date of the sale or other disposition
exceeds the option price. If the optionee disposes of the stock
after the required holding period -- that is, no earlier than a
date which is two years after the date of grant of the option and
one year after the date of exercise -- the gain is capital gain
income. If disposition occurs prior to expiration of the holding
period, the gain is ordinary income, and the Company is entitled
to a tax deduction equal to the amount of income recognized by
the optionee.
An optionee will not realize income when an NSO option is
granted to him or her. Upon exercise of such option, however,
the optionee must recognize ordinary income to the extent that
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the option
is exercised exceeds the option price. Any such gain is taxed in
the same manner as ordinary income in the year the option is
exercised. Thereafter, any additional gain recognized upon the
disposition of the shares of stock obtained by the exercise of an
NSO will be taxed at capital gains rates, if the employee has
held the shares of stock for at least one year after the exercise
of the NSO. The Company will not experience any tax consequences
upon the grant of an NSO, but will be entitled to take an income
tax deduction equal to the amount which the option holder
includes in income (if any) when the NSO is exercised.
The grant of a restricted stock award will not be a taxable
event for the holder thereof or result in a tax deduction for the
Company at the time of grant. Upon the lapse or termination of
any restrictions on the award, the holder will recognize ordinary
income equal to the fair market value of the portion of the
restricted stock award no longer subject to the restrictions,
less any amount of payment by the holder of such restricted stock
award. The Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction
in the same amount at the time the holder is required to
recognize income.
2
NEW PLAN BENEFITS
As of April 14, 1997, virtually no options were available
for grant under the Plan. Other than options for 200,000 shares
of Common Stock previously granted (subject to shareholder
approval of the Amended and Restated Plan) to Daniel J. Kohl, who
became President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company on
March 11, 1997 and a director on April 9, 1997, the Company has
no specific plans to grant options or stock awards pursuant to
the Amended and Restated Plan in any amounts to any particular
person or group of persons. The Company expects, however, that
the Compensation Committee of the Board will identify and select
key employees from time to time, including in the near future, to
receive grants under the Amended and Restated Plan that will be
made possible as a result of the shareholders' approval being
sought at the Special Meeting.
VOTE REQUIRED AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD
Shareholder approval of the Amended and Restated Plan is
required under the IRC and the terms of the Plan because the
proposal would increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock for which ISOs may be granted under the Plan. The
affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of the
Common Stock of the Company represented and voted at the Special
Meeting, assuming the presence of a quorum, is required to
approve the Amended and Restated Plan.
The Board, which unanimously approved the Amended and
Restated Plan, recommends a vote "FOR" approval of the Amended
and Restated Plan by all of the Company's shareholders who are
entitled to vote.

termination and a pro rata amount of any performance bonus to
which Mr. Kohl would otherwise be entitled for the fiscal year in

base salary under the agreement for the twelve months following
the day of termination and a pro rata amount of any performance
bonus to which the officer would otherwise be entitled for the
fiscal year in which such termination occurs. The agreements
contain fairly customary proscriptions against misuse of
confidential Company information, competition with the Company
and solicitation of employees of the Company.
