HOUSTON, Aug. 26, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spine Pain Management, Inc. (OTCQB:SPIN), a technology-driven, financial services, medical device, and healthcare solution company servicing the multi-billion dollar spine injury sector, today announced the addition of Peter Dalrymple to the Board of Directors. Mr. Dalrymple, who is an investor in SPIN, currently serves as Managing Partner of LPD Investments.
Mr. Dalrymple was one of the co-founders and owners of the Royal Purple Synthetic Lubricants Company, which at the time of its sale in 2012, was one of the largest synthetic lubricants company in North America, with worldwide distribution totaling over 25,000 outlets. While with Royal Purple, he was in charge of Sales and Marketing. After the company was sold to Calumet Specialty Products Partner, a New York Stock Exchange company, for $330,000,000 in July of 2012, Mr. Dalrymple became a very active investor in several companies. He is also a trustee of Norwich University, from which he holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Engineering Management. He previously served as a Lieutenant with the United States Army Corp. of Engineers.
Already a sizable equity investor in SPIN since mid-2012, Mr. Dalrymple provided a $1 million three year term loan to the Company in August 2012. After recently meeting the two new management additions, Mike Smith and David Spencer, and reviewing the company's recently reported financial results, Mr. Dalrymple approached the Company with a proposal to facilitate a $2 million revolving line of credit along with extending and reducing the interest on his original note. The company has agreed to the terms and expects the financing to close in one to two weeks. Additionally, Mr. Dalrymple was asked to and has agreed to join the company's Board of Directors on August 20th.
Mr. Dalrymple stated, "I have had the opportunity to get to know SPIN's management and have closely followed its progress. While the business model for both the core business and QVH has made a lot of sense, my only real concern was a lack of young and aggressive talent on the management team to spearhead development, sales and marketing, areas close to my heart, as a founding and long time SVP of Sales and Marketing with Royal Purple. With the additions of Messrs. Smith and Spencer, I believe the final ingredients are in place to proudly lend my name, money and expertise to the company."
William F. Donovan, M.D., CEO of Spine Pain Management: "With the addition of Peter, we now have SPIN's three largest shareholders on the Board of Directors, including Peter, Jerry Bratton and myself. This should be very comforting to shareholders that their best interests are represented by the Board."
