NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - October 7, 2009) - Spring Creek Capital Corporation (OTCBB: [ SCRK ]) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Eco-Blends, Inc., as a result of which Spring Creek acquired a 30 percent equity position. It also agreed to provide debt capital for the growth of Eco-Blend's products. Eco-Blends has entered into an agreement to acquire the assets and intellectual property from the founders of Lewey's EcoBlends, Inc. in order to manufacture its DEET-free products.

Eco-Blends will be led by Alison Lewey, a Native American, who has utilized her grandfather's herbalist training to develop a line of DEET-free insecticide and insect repellant products. Eco-Blends will manufacture and distribute DEET-free insecticide and insect repellant products under its trade name. The products have been designed to meet the ever increasing environmental concerns of consumers who are turning to homeopathic alternatives as well as stricter environmental guidelines which narrow the range of solutions to control pests and pathogens for agricultural needs. The Eco-Blend products have been demonstrated to ward off mosquitoes, including carriers of West Nile virus, as well as flies, gnats, nits, and other insects. Other applications for the family of products deter the formation of larva in lakes and ponds, regenerate depleted soil and may provide therapeutic relief for skin irritation. The products are all natural.

Glenn T. Hall, a Director of Spring Creek, will spearhead the investment in Eco-Blends and the expansion of the business of Eco-Blends. Eco-Blends will have a management consulting agreement with Spring Creek. He notes, "Adding Eco-Blends demonstrates the commitment of Spring Creek to discover and incubate small emerging companies." Kelly T. Hickel, CEO of Spring Creek added, "We are excited to add the products to our growing family of investments in companies with similar healthcare distribution networks."
