VANCOUVER, March 29 /CNW/ - VendTek Systems Inc. (VSI - TSX Venture) (the "Company") today announced the appointment of Mr. Gordon Glenn and Mr. David Wright to the Company's Board of Directors. The appointments are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

"VendTek is committed to sound corporate governance practices as evidenced by the recent changes we have made to our board," said Martin Parent, Chairman of VendTek Systems Inc.

Mr. Gordon Glenn has 35 years of corporate management experience in the healthcare, government information technology and transaction processing industries, including 20 years at the Chief Executive and Chief Operating Officer level. He is experienced in all facets of executive management of public companies including strategic planning, organizational development, budgeting and forecasting, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, recapitalizations, public offerings and investor/analyst relations (U.S. and Canada).

Mr. Glenn joined SXC Health Solutions Inc. ("SXC") in June 1998 as President and Chief Executive Officer and was named Chairman in 2006. When he joined the company, SXC was an unprofitable Canadian-based, software company with $8 million in revenue and a market capitalization of less than $10 million. Today, the Chicago-based company is a pharmacy benefits management and healthcare information-technology (IT) company publicly traded on the NASDAQ (SXCI) and the Toronto Stock (SXC) Exchanges that generates more than $1 billion in annual revenue. Mr. Glenn completed his tenth year as CEO with SXC posting a revenue run-rate of more than $800 million, strong earnings and cash flow, and a solid balance sheet. He increased SXC's market capitalization sixty-fold to more than $600 million since taking over as CEO. During his tenure he sourced, financed, closed and integrated three successful acquisitions of U.S. companies that expanded product/service offerings and increased EPS, yielding improved investor interest.

Mr. David Wright has more than 17 years of capital markets experience. From 1998 to 2008, he was an Equity Research Analyst with BMO Capital Markets, most recently as a Managing Director providing investment recommendations regarding North American Software and IT Services companies.
