Global Resource Corp. (OTC: GBRC), a developer of a patent-pending microwave technology and machinery for extracting oil and gas, announced today that it has installed a new management team and added two directors with world-class expertise to execute its transition from research into a major manufacturer and global marketer of hydrocarbon technologies.
Frank Pringle, 65, said he was retiring effective immediately from day-to-day activity but will remain on as a technology consultant and as chairman of the board until the expiration of his term.
The Board has successfully found a replacement Chief Executive Officer with the management and financial expertise to lead the company and is in the final stage of an employment agreement.
Global Resource's board also has been expanded to seven members, with the addition of two new directors, Peter Worthington and Paul Sweeney, who "have the expertise and contacts to help execute a global business strategy in the oil, gas and municipal waste industries."
Jeffrey T. Kimberly, an expert in machine design and fabrication who has been instrumental in design of the company's prototype, was promoted to president, from chief operating officer (COO). As the former president of Ingersoll Production Systems, Rockford, IL, an internationally recognized machine tool company, Kimberly managed a $40 million a year production machinery company. His experience includes mechanical engineering, sales and marketing and project management.
Wayne Koehl, who was executive vice president of business development and finance, has been promoted to COO. The company said that Koehl, a financing and leasing expert, will be instrumental in the planning and financial execution of Global Resource's machinery rollout.
New director Peter Worthington, an international petroleum expert, is a former vice president of global business development for BHP Billiton Petroleum. He has led $1.2 billion in world scale energy projects and is currently the CEO of a publicly traded upstream petroleum company.
New board member Paul Sweeney, who in 2006 was named Investment Manager of the Year by the Bank of Ireland, which has more than 45 billion euros under management, is now an independent financial advisor with more than 18 years of experience in the financial sector. He is a director of a publicly traded petroleum company as well as a director and owner of two private mining exploration companies.
Status of the prototype:
The company said the new management changes come at a key moment in its history, with the near-term completion of a new prototype based on a superior design to improve productivity. "The prototype will be ready for successful testing in September, using oil field drill cuttings and used tires," according to Kimberly.
"Based on the results of these tests, we will be able to establish a date to make the prototype machine available for demonstrations that will launch our marketing program," he added.
Reducing Outstanding Shares
Frank Pringle, at the request of the board of directors, has fully converted his preferred convertible shares, which held 2 to 1 voting rights, to 16 million shares of common stock. Subsequently, management and the board of directors elected to purchase 6.6 million shares of common stock from Mr. Pringle. This action realigns the voting power of the company more favorably towards the shareholders and the management team. Pringle is in the process of establishing a 10b51 plan, which will predetermine his future stock sales. The company noted that this transaction effectively reduces the number of shares outstanding, benefiting the company's public shareholders.
The company said full details are available in the company's latest 8K filing.
