Very Truly Yours, /s/ Darrel W. Francis Darrel W. Francis /s/ Richard M. Brown Richard M. Brown DEFINITIVE PROXY MATERIALS DATED NOVEMBER 27, 2001 PROXY STATEMENT OF DARREL W. FRANCIS AND RICHARD M. BROWN, D.O. --------------------- 2001 ANNUAL MEETING OF THE STOCKHOLDERS OF UNITED AMERICAN HEALTHCARE CORPORATION --------------------- We are sending this proxy statement to you as two of the holders of common stock, no par value, of United American Healthcare Corporation, a Michigan corporation (the "Company"), in connection with our solicitation of your proxy for use at the 2001 Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of United American Healthcare Corporation, scheduled on Friday, November 30, 2001 at 10:30 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, at the Atheneum Suite Hotel, 1000 Brush Avenue, Detroit, Michigan, and at any adjournments or postponements thereof. We are Richard M. Brown, D.O., a natural person, who beneficially owns 411,727 shares (6.1%) and Darrel W. Francis, a natural person, who beneficially owns 50,000 shares of United American Healthcare Corporation's outstanding shares of common stock. We are soliciting your proxy to vote on the following proposal at the 2001 Annual Meeting. THE ELECTION OF OUR NOMINEES, Richard M. Brown, D.O., Ronald E. Hall Sr., Linda A. Watters and Peter F. Hurst Jr., as Directors of United American Healthcare Corporation in the class with a three-year term continuing until the 2004 Annual Meeting. THIS PROXY STATEMENT AND THE BLUE PROXY CARD ARE FIRST BEING FURNISHED TO SHAREHOLDERS ON OR ABOUT NOVEMBER 27, 2001. WE URGE YOU TO SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE BLUE PROXY CARD IN FAVOR OF THE ELECTION OF OUR NOMINEES AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT. WE ARE ASKING YOU TO ELECT A SLATE OF DIRECTORS WITH A STRONG OWNERSHIP INTEREST AND ORIENTATION TO PROTECT THE INTERESTS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS OF UNITED AMERICAN HEALTHCARE CORPORATION. AS THE WHITE PROXY CARD YOU RECEIVED FROM UNITED AMERICAN HEALTHCARE CORPORATION DID NOT GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, IN ORDER TO VOTE FOR OUR NOMINEES YOU MUST SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD. THE LATEST DATED PROXY IS THE ONLY ONE THAT COUNTS. ANY PROXY MAY BE REVOKED AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE 2001 ANNUAL MEETING BY DELIVERING A WRITTEN NOTICE OF REVOCATION OR A LATER DATED PROXY FOR THE 2001 ANNUAL MEETING TO GEORGESON SHAREHOLDER OR TO THE SECRETARY OF UNITED AMERICAN HEALTHCARE CORPORATION, OR BY VOTING IN PERSON AT THE 2001 ANNUAL MEETING. As the beneficial owners of 50,000 shares and 411,727 shares (6.1%) respectively, of United American Healthcare Corporation's common stock, Mr. Darrel W. Francis and Mr. Richard M. Brown have substantial investments at stake. It is our opinion that our interests are clearly aligned with yours as fellow shareholders. We seek the opportunity for our nominees to participate constructively as Directors. We are not seeking to control the Company. Our nominees, if elected, plus Darrel Francis, who is a continuing member of the Board of Directors will not constitute a majority of the Board and, accordingly, will not be able to control the actions of the Board. We have no special interest, other than to safeguard shareholder interests. However, we can make no assurances that if our nominees are elected as Directors of United American Healthcare Corporation that their election will safeguard the shareholders' interests. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT PLEASE REVIEW THIS DOCUMENT AND THE ENCLOSED MATERIALS CAREFULLY. YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT, NO MATTER HOW MANY OR HOW FEW SHARES YOU OWN. 1) If your shares are registered in your own name, please sign, date and mail the enclosed BLUE Proxy Card to Georgeson Shareholder in the postage-paid envelope provided TODAY. 2) If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank nominee or other institution, only it can sign a BLUE Proxy Card with respect to your shares and only after receiving your specific instructions. Accordingly, please sign, date and mail the enclosed BLUE Proxy Card in the postage-paid envelope provided, and to ensure that your shares are voted, you should also contact the person responsible for your account. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND AND RECENT EVENTS We are nominating four Directors and soliciting your proxy to elect such nominees in response to the Proxy Statement of the Company, first mailed to the shareholders, including the two of us on or about October 29, 2001 (the "Company Proxy Statement"). As stated in the Company Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors has directed that the election of four Directors be on the agenda for the Company's 2001 Annual Meeting and in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. There were, however, no Director nominees for election at the meeting, because a majority of the Board did not approve any nominees. As a 6.1% shareholder of the Company and the beneficial holder of 50,000 shares (25,000 of which are options), we believe this situation to be not in the interests of the shareholders of the Company and on November 8, 2001, we provided the Company with our Notice of Intent to nominate four Directors, a copy of such Notice is attached as Annex A hereto. The Company Proxy Statement further stated that unless any shareholder or shareholders validly nominated at least four Director candidates for election at the meeting, there would be no election of Directors at the Annual Meeting. (See "ELECTION OF DIRECTORS" below.) The Company Proxy Statement stated that neither the Company nor the members of its Board of Directors intend to bring before the Annual Meeting any matters other than those set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting, and they represented that they have no present knowledge that any other matters will be presented for action at the meeting by others. Other than the election of four Directors and ratification of the appointment of independent auditors for the year 2002, the persons named in the enclosed proxy do not request any authority to act on any additional matters or proposals, except with respect to matters presented at the meeting unknown to us that haven't been provided in reasonable time before this solicitation. VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF The Company Proxy Statement stated further that only holders of record of shares of no par value common stock of the Company ("Common Stock"), at the close of business on October 15, 2001 are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the meeting or at any adjournment or adjournments thereof, each share having one vote. On such record date, the Company had issued and outstanding 6,779,128 shares of Common Stock. Based on information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), or otherwise provided to the Company, the Company noted that as of October 15, 2001, Richard M. Brown, D.O., 2774 Franklin Road, Southfield, Michigan 48034, beneficially owns 411,727 shares (6.1%) of the Company's 2 outstanding Common Stock. Management stated in the Company Proxy Statement that it does not know of any other person who, as of October 15, 2001, beneficially owns more than 5% of the Company's Common Stock. We are also unaware of any person who beneficially owns more than 5% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. The shareholder votes cast for all items considered at the meeting will be calculated by an officer of Computershare Investor Services LLC., the Company's Registrar and Transfer Agent, as the Board-designated Inspector of Election. The Inspector of Election shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, hear and determine challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate votes, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election. PROPOSAL I. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS The Company's Proxy Statement stated that the election of four Directors of the Company, to hold office until the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2004 or until their successors are elected and qualified, will take place at the 2001 Annual Meeting of Shareholders only if at least four Director candidates are validly nominated at the Annual Meeting by one or more shareholders, and not otherwise. (See "Shareholders' Right to Nominate Director Candidates" below). The Company's form of proxy which you received, expressly excludes voting for the election of any Directors, because a majority of the Board of Directors has not nominated anyone for election as a Director at the Annual Meeting (as more fully explained beginning in the next paragraph below). We were advised in the Company's Proxy Statement that if at least four Director candidates are validly nominated at the Annual Meeting by one or more shareholders, the election of Directors will occur at the Annual Meeting, and the four nominees receiving the greatest number of votes cast at the meeting shall be elected. Abstentions, withheld votes and broker non-votes will not be deemed votes cast in determining which nominees receive the greatest number of votes cast. The Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Gregory H. Moses, Jr., represented that he caused the Company's Proxy Statement and the Company's form of proxy (which excludes the election of Directors) to be mailed to the shareholders in the exercise of his responsibilities to act in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, as he deems necessary in the circumstances described below. In the absence of any nominations by a majority of the 12-member Board of Directors, Mr. Moses has deemed it necessary to thus provide the shareholders the opportunity to exercise their right to nominate Director candidates themselves and thereby have the ability to exercise their voting rights to elect the persons to succeed the four Directors whose current terms expire this year. The circumstances resulting in this action by the President and Chief Executive Officer were described as follows in the Company Proxy Statement. Under the Company's bylaws and its corporate governance guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors effective August 5, 1999: (i) the Board of Directors is responsible for selecting and recommending Director candidates for shareholder approval, (ii) the Board of Directors has delegated the preliminary review process involved to the Company's Governance Committee (formerly called the Nominating Committee), and (iii) the Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing the appropriate skills and characteristics required for Board members. On October 1, 2001, the Governance Committee unanimously (with six of its seven members present and voting) recommended that only one person, Linda A. Watters (an incumbent Director whose present term expires this year), be nominated for election as a Director at the 2001 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, thus reducing the Board of Directors from twelve to nine members upon such election. At a meeting of the Board of Directors on October 5, 2001, at which all of the current 12 Directors were present and voting, a motion was made to approve such recommendation of the Governance Committee. Before that motion was voted upon, it was amended to propose nominating all of the four incumbent Directors whose present terms expire this year (Anita C. R. Gorham; Harcourt G. Harris, M.D.; Ronald M. Horwitz, Ph.D.; and Linda A. Watters) for election to new three-year terms as Directors of the Company, to hold office until the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2004 or until their successors are elected and qualified. The Board of Directors voted six-to-six 3 on such amended motion, which therefore was defeated, and the Board thus was deadlocked on nominating any Director candidates at that meeting. On October 15, 2001, the Board of Directors met again but was unable to break their six-to-six deadlock. Subsequent attempts to resolve the deadlock have apparently been unsuccessful, resulting in the above-explained decision of the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company to send the shareholders a Notice of Meeting, the Company Proxy Statement and a form of proxy (which excludes the election of Directors). We were advised in the Company Proxy Statement that in no event will the persons named in the Company's form of proxy vote any of the shares represented by such proxies for the election of any Director nominees. SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS TO NOMINATE DIRECTOR CANDIDATES The Company's bylaws allow any shareholder who is entitled to vote in the election of Directors generally to nominate one or more persons for election as Directors at the Company's 2001 Annual Meeting, but only if written notice of intent to make such nomination is given to the Secretary of the Company and received at the Company's principal executive offices (at 1155 Brewery Park Boulevard, Suite 200, Detroit, Michigan 48207) not later than the close of business on November 8, 2001 (the tenth day after the day on which notice of the 2001 Annual Meeting date is being given to the shareholders). To be valid under the Company's bylaws, each such notice of intent ("Notice") must set forth: (a) the name and address of the shareholder who intends to make such nomination and of each person to be nominated; (b) a representation that such shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Company entitled to vote for the election of Directors on the date of such Notice and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the 2001 Annual Meeting to nominate each person specified in such Notice; (c) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such shareholder and each nominee proposed by such shareholder and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination is to be made by the shareholder; (d) such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such shareholder as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the SEC if the Board nominated, or intended to nominate, that nominee; and (e) each such nominee's consent to serve as a Director of the Company if so elected. If a person who is thus validly designated as a Director nominee thereafter becomes unable or unwilling to stand for election to the Board, the shareholder who proposed such nominee may designate a substitute Director nominee upon delivery, not fewer than 10 days before the 2001 Annual Meeting date, of a written notice to the Secretary of the Company setting forth such information regarding such substitute nominee as would have been required to be delivered to the Secretary had such substitute nominee been initially proposed as a nominee. Such notice shall include each such substitute nominee's signed consent to serve as a Director of the Company, if elected. In accordance with the bylaw provisions of the Company regarding Shareholders' rights to nominate Director candidates, our nominees have been submitted and include the following candidates: Richard M. Brown, D.O., Ronald E. Hall, Sr., Peter F. Hurst, Jr., and Linda A. Watters. If our nominees are elected, Anita C.R. Gorham, Harcourt G. Harris, M.D. and Ronald M. Horwitz, Ph.D. will no longer be on the Company's Board of Directors. Ms. Linda A. Watters, an incumbent Director whose current term on the Board expires this year, will continue to serve until 2004 and the Company will have three new Directors, Ronald E. Hall, Sr., Peter F. Hurst, Jr., and Richard M. Brown, D.O., who each shall serve as Directors until their terms expire in 2004. 4 CONSENT OF NOMINEES Our nominees understand that, if elected as Directors of United American Healthcare Corporation, each of them will have an obligation under Michigan law to discharge fiduciary duties to United American Healthcare Corporation and its shareholders. Each of the nominees have consented to being named as candidates for Directors of United American Healthcare Corporation and have agreed to serve if elected. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE ELECTION OF OUR NOMINEES.

OTHER MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE 2001 ANNUAL MEETING PROPOSAL II. RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS As set forth in United American Healthcare Corporation's Proxy Statement, at the 2001 Annual Meeting, United American Healthcare Corporation Shareholders will be asked to ratify the appointment by United American Healthcare Corporation's independent auditors for the year 2001. We are not making any recommendation on this proposal. VOTING PROCEDURES In order to ensure that your views on the proposals are heard by United American Healthcare Corporation Directors and that your vote is represented at the 2001 Annual Meeting, we urge you to sign and date the enclosed BLUE Proxy Card and return it to Georgeson Shareholder ("Georgeson"), in the enclosed postage paid envelope TODAY. Execution of the BLUE Proxy Card will not affect your right to attend the 2001 Annual Meeting and to vote in person. You are eligible to execute a BLUE Proxy Card only if you owned the Common Stock on the Record Date. United American Healthcare Corporation's Board has set October 15, 2001 as the Record Date for determining those shareholders who will be entitled to notice of and vote at the 2001 Annual Meeting. You will retain the right to execute a proxy card in connection with this proxy solicitation even if you sell your shares after the Record Date. Accordingly, it is important that you vote the Shares held by you on the Record Date, or grant a proxy to vote such Shares on the BLUE Proxy Card, even if you sell such shares after the Record Date. 7 As of the close of business of the Record Date, we believe that there were 6,779,128 shares of common stock of United American Healthcare Corporation's issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Shareholders will have one vote for each share of common stock they own with respect to all matters to be considered at the 2001 Annual Meeting. RIGHT TO REVOKE PROXY In order for your views on the above-described proposals to be represented at the 2001 Annual Meeting, please sign and date the enclosed BLUE Proxy Card and return it to Georgeson Shareholder in the enclosed prepaid envelope TODAY. Execution of the BLUE proxy card will not affect your right to attend the 2001 Annual Meeting and to vote in person. Any proxy may be revoked at any time prior to the 2001 Annual Meeting by delivering a written notice of revocation of a later dated proxy for the 2001 Annual Meeting to Georgeson Shareholder or the Secretary of United American Healthcare Corporation, or by voting in person at the 2001 Annual Meeting. Only your latest dated proxy will count. PARTIAL PROXY REVOCATION Unless otherwise indicated, the BLUE Proxy authorizes the persons named in the proxy to vote, and such persons will vote, properly executed and duly returned proxies for the nominees made by Darrel W. Francis and Richard M. Brown, D.O. If no marking is made on your BLUE Proxy with respect to the ratification of the appointment of United American Healthcare Corporation's independent auditors, you will be deemed to have given a direction to abstain from voting on such matter. However, in the event you have voted "FOR", "AGAINST" or to "WITHHOLD AUTHORITY" on the Company proxy card and fail to vote on the BLUE Proxy with respect to the ratification of the Company's independent auditors, your initial vote with respect to the auditors will remain in effect. We further believe that in the event that you have voted "FOR", "AGAINST", or to "WITHHOLD AUTHORITY" on our Blue Proxy card with respect to our nominees for Director and you vote "FOR", "AGAINST", or to "WITHHOLD AUTHORITY" with respect to the ratification of the Company's independent auditors on our Blue Proxy card and at a later date change your vote with respect to the ratification of the Company's independent auditors using the Company Proxy card, your initial vote with respect to our nominees will remain unless you attend the 2001 Annual Meeting and verbally change your vote, or revoke your vote through a representative who presents a subsequently dated written Proxy at the 2001 Annual Meeting. VOTE REQUIRED Based on currently available bylaws of the Company, we believe a quorum will exist at the 2001 Annual Meeting if holders of not less than a majority of the shares of United American Healthcare Corporation's common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the 2001 Annual Meeting are present in person or by proxy. If a quorum is present, our view is that under Michigan law and the United American Healthcare Corporation bylaws, our nominees should be deemed elected if they receive the greatest number of votes cast at the 2001 Annual Meeting. The Company has stated that abstentions will not be counted either for or against any action for which a vote is cast. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE ELECTION OF OUR NOMINEES. PROXY SOLICITATION; EXPENSES Executed proxies may be solicited in person, by mail, overnight courier, advertisement, telephone, or telecopier. Solicitation may be made by Darrel W. Francis and Richard M. Brown, D.O., neither of whom will receive additional compensation for such solicitation. Proxies will be solicited from individuals, brokers, bank nominees and other institutional holders. We have requested banks, brokerage houses and other custodians, 8 nominees and fiduciaries to forward all solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the shares they hold of record. We will reimburse these record holders for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, we have retained Georgeson Shareholder to solicit proxies on our behalf in connection with the 2001 Annual Meeting. Georgeson Shareholder may be contacted at 1-866-884-5921 (toll free), with any questions about this Proxy Statement and the Blue Proxy Card. Georgeson Shareholder will employ approximately 25 people in its efforts. We have agreed to reimburse Georgeson Shareholder for its reasonable expenses and to pay to Georgeson Shareholder fees not to exceed $50,000. The entire expense of our proxy solicitation is being borne by Darrel W. Francis. In the event that our nominees are elected to United American Healthcare Corporation's Board, we may seek reimbursement of such expenses from United American Healthcare Corporation. Darrel W. Francis does not intend to seek shareholder approval of reimbursement of his expenses. In addition to the engagement of Georgeson Shareholder described above, costs related to the solicitation of proxies include expenditures for printing, postage, legal and related expenses and are expected to be approximately $95,000. Total payment of costs to date in furtherance of our proxy solicitation is approximately $55,000. WE URGE YOU TO SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE BLUE PROXY CARD IN FAVOR OF THE ELECTION OF OUR NOMINEES DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT. SHAREHOLDERS' PROPOSAL IN THE UNITED AMERICAN PROXY STATEMENT Pursuant to Rule 14a-8(e)(2) under the Exchange Act, any proposal by a shareholder at the 2002 annual Meeting to be included in the United American Healthcare Proxy Statement, must be received in writing at the United American principal executive offices not less than 120 calendar days in advance of the date of the United American proxy statement released to the security holders in connection with its 2001 Annual Meeting.
