ACQUISITION LOGIC AND STRATEGY
Consolidate Software Solutions in Canada. Integrate into Quorum DMS. Scale into USA.
• Based on a review of 30 of Quorum’s customers, those dealerships spend approximately $7,000 per month on additional 3rd party software. These 3rd party companies have no or limited integration.
• Dealerships have disparate (non-integrated) systems and we believe that dealerships will pay a similar amount to what they pay today for an integrated solution.
• We believe the Canadian market in particular is quite fragmented with point solutions that, if acquired by Quorum, would be both accretive and strategic as they will increase dealer stickiness and build on recurring revenues.
• Autovance and DealerMine are two examples of this, but we believe there are other similar opportunities out there.
• We would generally be looking for point solutions that can be integrated and then sold into our existing customer base.
• All solutions should also be scalable to the US market.

Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada. In 1991, he received his Chartered Accountant’s designation after articling with Deloitte and Touche in Calgary. In 1992 he began his own practice of technology consulting for small businesses. It was during this time
that his family turned to him to find a new dealer management system for their dealership. Having thoroughly evaluated the market he concluded that the industry had largely stagnated and the idea for forming Quorum was conceived. Maury and his
partners founded Quorum in 1996. Since that time, Maury has focused the company on the development of its flagship XSELLERATOR DMS software.
Marilyn Bown, B.Com., CPA, CGAChief Financial Officer
Marilyn was appointed to Chief Financial Officer of Quorum in November 2011. She joined Quorum in 2008 as a corporate accountant and was promoted to Controller in 2010. Marilyn graduated from Memorial University of Newfoundland with a

generation of desking tools full-time. Rick began building the team at Autovance in late 2014 and by the summer of 2016, Autovance Desk, Canada’s most advanced web-based desking tool, was built. In 2017 Quorum acquired Autovance.
