Medical Facilities Corporation Announces Approval of Normal Course Issuer Bid
for Debentures and Automatic Securities Purchase Plan

TORONTO, Nov. 22 /CNW/ - Medical Facilities Corporation ("Medical Facilities" or the "Company") (TSX: DR.UN), announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange has approved its notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid for up to $3,440,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 7.50% convertible secured debentures (the "Debentures") (TSX: DR.DB), representing 8% of its $43,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Debentures outstanding as of November 15, 2010. The Company may purchase the Debentures at prevailing market prices during the period from November 24, 2010 to November 23, 2011. Purchases will be made at market prices in accordance with the rules and policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange. Subject to the Toronto Stock Exchange's block purchase exceptions, daily purchases will be limited to $4,300 aggregate principal amount of Debentures on any trading day to and including November 23, 2011. All Debentures purchased by Medical Facilities under the normal course issuer bid will be cancelled.

Medical Facilities believes that from time to time, the market price of its Debentures may not reflect their underlying value and that the purchase of its Debentures may represent an appropriate and desirable use of Company funds. Medical Facilities intends to fund the purchases out of available cash.

The Company has also implemented an automatic securities purchase plan (the "Plan") in connection with its normal course issuer bid for its Debentures. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company may purchase Debentures under its normal course issuer bid during such times that are considered, under the insider trading and disclosure policy of Medical Facilities, outside of a permitted trading window or during a designated blackout period. The Plan is effective as of today and terminates with the normal course issuer bid for the Debentures. The Plan constitutes an "automatic plan" for purposes of applicable Canadian securities legislation and has been approved by the Toronto Stock Exchange.
