SideDrawer Announces Significant Investment From The David Slabodkin Family Trust

TORONTO, March 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SideDrawer, the API-first client-facing document collaboration platform, is pleased to announce a significant investment from The David Slabodkin Family Trust (“The Trust”). David Slabodkin was the Founder & CEO of Canada Protection Plan, and recently exited the business through a sale to Foresters Financial, a leading North American insurance underwriter.

“We are thrilled to have an insurance pioneer like David support our vision. Canada Protection Plan was built on the premise of helping Canadians, establishing itself as a leading provider of life insurance and related products distributed through 28,000 independent life insurance advisors. Life insurance sales, similar to financial planning, mortgages, loans, property and casualty insurance, and many other routine engagements, rely heavily on email for receiving and delivering sensitive client data. With increasing awareness of cybersecurity risks and data security, businesses and consumers want a better experience around these processes. We believe David’s deep insurance expertise will be a significant benefit as we expand our insurance and related financial distribution channels,” said J. Gaston Siri, Co-Founder & CEO of SideDrawer.  

“As the family moves forward from Canada Protection Plan, we are focused on advancing businesses and technologies that benefit society. We view the protection and privacy of data as a fundamental right for people and a primary concern for consumers. The SideDrawer team has created a unique platform which will not only help individuals be prepared for life changes but allows businesses and enterprises to integrate the flexible technology to help their clients. We think SideDrawer is a unique offering, and something we believe every individual will benefit from,” said Max Fine, on behalf of The David Slabodkin Family Trust.

“We are very excited to contribute to the digital transformation for client experience around secure document collaboration. Currently this experience remains quite challenging, and has not evolved with enhancements found in other business functions. Our objective is to offer businesses the ability to collaborate with customers in a secure and engaging manner. With this additional investment, we will grow our team and infrastructure to support our SMB and enterprise clients. We know business priorities and product roadmaps can shift; as such, our solution can allow resources to be focused on enhancing core products, while easily integrating SideDrawer’s APIs for better document workflows, access controls, engagement features, and analytics,” said Ali Qureshi, Chief Revenue Officer & Co-Founder of SideDrawer.

Along with The Trust’s investment, SideDrawer is making the following appointments to its Board of Directors and Advisory Board:

He is an established financial literacy expert with experience across financial planning, insurance, business succession, group benefits and pensions.

Peter coincidentally was an early adopter of SideDrawer for his practice, and recognized the value add the platform brought to his business and clients. We are fortunate to have Peter’s insight to continuously enhance our product and navigate the needs of the financial sector professionals.
  • Max Fine – Max is a product and UX designer with a background in industrial design.  Max’s previous experience includes founding Bender Inc. a startup that is currently developing a digital retail platform. He has spent the past 2 years at thinktum Inc. focusing on the customer facing side of product design mainly in the fintech, insurtech and healthcare industries. He has also served on the Board of The Nourish and Develop Foundation for the past 12 years.

The exact timing and terms of the offering will depend on market conditions and other factors.

The Notes have not been and are not expected to be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

In his new role, Mr. Seto will continue to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Dr. Paul Walker, current CEO, will remain committed to the Company as a member of the Board of Directors, where he will be responsible for a seamless transition of leadership, and focus his efforts on the Tigris Trial supporting Dr. John Kellum, Spectral’s recently announced Chief Medical Officer.

Previously, Mr. Seto was responsible for overseeing the financial and operational management of the Company including, finance, accounting, treasury and capital markets, as well as corporate planning and development, and investor relations. Prior to joining Spectral Medical, Mr. Seto was the CFO of MJardin Group Inc. (CSE:MJAR) and GrowForce Holdings Inc. Mr. Seto has over 25 years of capital markets and financial management experience, including senior investment banking positions with Paradigm Capital, UBS Securities and CIBC World Markets; and financial management experience in the telecom and healthcare industries with Bell Canada and Warren Shepell.

Since joining the Company, Chris has demonstrated outstanding operational and financial leadership, and has played a key role in defining our strategy for the Dialco subsidiary. With the recent addition of Dr. John Kellum to our organization, I am confident that we are well positioned to successfully complete the Tigris Trial and to advance our scientific and product development agenda for Spectral.”  

Anthony Bihl, Chairman of Spectral, further noted, “Chris’ transition to CEO is a reflection of his unwavering commitment and outstanding leadership. Moreover, I would like to personally express our sincere gratitude to Dr. Paul Walker, who has successfully led the organization over the last twenty years through a transition from a diagnostic focused company to a leading theranostics company focused on bringing unique commercial products to market—positioning us for long-term success. As one of the world’s leading experts on endotoxin and its role in sepsis, as well as the co-inventor of the Endotoxin Activity Assay (EAA™), we look forward to his continued contributions as we advance the Tigris Trial.”

About Spectral

Spectral is a Phase III company seeking U.S. FDA approval for its unique product for the treatment of patients with septic shock, Toraymyxin™ (“PMX”). PMX is a therapeutic hemoperfusion device that removes endotoxin, which can cause sepsis, from the bloodstream and is guided by the Company’s Endotoxin Activity Assay (EAA™), the only FDA cleared diagnostic for the risk of developing sepsis.

PMX is approved for therapeutic use in Japan and Europe, and has been used safely and effectively on more than 200,000 patients to date. In March 2009, Spectral obtained the exclusive development and commercial rights in the U.S. for PMX, and in November 2010, signed an exclusive distribution agreement for this product in Canada. Approximately 330,000 patients are diagnosed with severe sepsis and septic shock in North America each year.
