Description:

Dobbs Management Service (DMS) is the investment arm organized exclusively for the John Hull Dobbs Family that oversees its assets including marketable securities and direct investments. DMS is a legacy of the central corporate office for the Dobbs Automotive business and has been operational for over 25 years in support of the Family's business and investment efforts. The Dobbs Family has an 85 year history of owning and operating successful businesses including: Beverage Distribution, Food Service, Financial Services, Automotive Dealerships, Fire & Security, Financial Services, HMOs, Restaurants, Dental Clinics, Automotive Aftermarket Distribution, Insurance Brokerage, and Heavy Duty Truck Dealerships. In 2005, the Dobbs family made a strategic decision to substantially increase its investment in direct investments in operating companies that it could own and control for the long-term. Dobbs typically seeks companies with the following general parameters: $10MM to $20MM of current or potential EBITDA; $20MM to $75MM targeted initial equity investment (signficantly more in select situations); and $75MM to $125MM theoretical maximum investment with follow-on investments.
