of Garry W. Marquiss as vice president, Corporate Development. In this
position, Marquiss will manage and oversee the development of all new U.S.
lending relationships for the Curomax RV/Marine loan origination application
as well as to establish other opportunities to expand Curomax in the U.S.
indirect lending market.
Marquiss brings more than twenty-five years of banking experience in the

Bank where he built and acquired consumer finance businesses, managed funding
solutions and developed consumer lending products.
"Curomax has enjoyed some early success in the U.S. RV Marine market,"
said Michael Collins, EVP and COO of Curomax. "Our future success is directly
tied to our ability to build a loan origination tool that dealers prefer and
to allow lenders to continue to compete and differentiate themselves as their
business moves on line. The hiring of Garry Marquiss ensures that our
intimacy with indirect lending continues to be among the most significant
value offerings Curomax can bring to its business partners."
