Huntington mixes up the right prescription for Roadrunner Pharmacy

[PRESS RELEASE]  San Diego, CA, October 26, 2009 – Huntington Capital mixes up the right prescription for Eaton Veterinary Pharmaceutical, Inc. (dba “Roadrunner Pharmacy”).

Huntington Capital Fund II, LP (“Huntington”), a San Diego based private equity mezzanine fund focused on providing growth capital financing to established lower middle-market businesses throughout California and the Southwestern U.S., is pleased to announce its recent investment in veterinary compounding company Eaton Veterinary Pharmaceutical, Inc. (dba “Roadrunner Pharmacy”).  The purpose of the financing is to support growth and new product development. Founded in 1999, Roadrunner is one of the leading compounding pharmacies in the nation, providing veterinarians and their patients with off the shelf and custom pet medications. Unlike human medical doctors, veterinarians do not have the luxury of a wide variety of commercially available pharmaceuticals.  Eaton has a staff of highly trained pharmacists and prescriptions are compounded in house and shipped out next day air free of charge.

“Roadrunner is the exact type of growth opportunity that we are looking to support in this type of environment,” noted Huntington Partner Tim Bubnack.  “The company is led by an entrepreneur that has done a fantastic job of bootstrapping the business while successfully leading exponential growth over the last few years. In general, we believe that consumers are going to continue to spend money on non-discretionary type items, including medication for their household pets, no matter what is happening in the overall macro environment.  We continue to see this play out in the company’s overall performance.  Outside of their core business, we are also very excited about the potential of several FDA approved medications that are currently in development stage by the company.”
