DELPHX HIRES STRUCTURED FINANCE VETERAN JEFFREY NABI TO LEAD INSTITUTIONAL SALES TEAM FOR INDUSTRY-FIRST CREDIT RATING SECURITY PRODUCT

Delphx Capital Markets Inc. has appointed industry expert Jeffrey Nabi as managing director, credit product sales, to spearhead the new sales team and the commercialization phase of the Delphx credit rating security (CRS) product. Today's announcement marks a major milestone as the operational starting point for the company's wholly owned broker dealer and creates the potential for significantly improved margins on each transaction. The Delphx CRS product is a novel new offering in the space -- giving bond holders and traders the ability to position against potential rating changes on existing bonds.

Mr. Nabi is an industry veteran with senior-level experience across multiple structured product categories, including mortgage and asset backed securities, fintech banking, and deal structuring and investment. Most recently, he served as head of capital markets for Imperial Fund, where he helped launch the fund's securitization program, which produced 15 deals totalling $4.9-billion in non-qualified mortgage loans. His role at Imperial included supervising day-to-day capital markets as a key member of the executive management team, with oversight of warehouse funding relationships, and development of key alliances with funding partners, investment banks and rating agencies, as well as helping with monitoring of credit and interest risks, and portfolio modelling.

Previously, Mr. Nabi also served as chief financial officer and head of capital markets at education lender Funding U; was managing director of debt capital markets at Cantor Fitzgerald; and held senior positions at bond insurers Assured Guaranty, Ambac and Financial Security Assurance, in addition to positions at Deloitte & Touche and Goldman Sachs. His experience in the financial markets is comprehensive, covering both debt and equity, investment, underwriting, risk assessment and mitigation, and involvement in structured finance and asset-backed securities secondary markets.

"We are very excited to have someone of Jeffrey's calibre join Delphx to lead our internal sales team," said Patrick Wood, Delphx's chief executive officer. "His resume is a perfect blend of both investment and risk mitigation experience, giving him a working knowledge of the target customers required on both sides of each CRS transaction. From an organizational standpoint, Jeff has a proven track record developing new business and managing teams at several successful companies in the structured products space, making him an ideal candidate to lead our sales effort. With close to two decades in various segments of finance, he also brings with him a seasoned contact list that will significantly expand our outreach to potential customers."

"I have been fortunate during my career to align myself with a number of strong growth opportunities where I was able to build successful business units," explained Mr. Nabi, new sales lead. "That is exactly the kind of scenario I envisioned when I was introduced to the Delphx CRS product, as it fills an unmet need across a very large market where I already have deep roots."

The company also wishes to announce that its board of directors has approved the grant of 900,000 stock options to eligible participants under its stock option plan. The options have a two-year maturity and are exercisable for common shares of Delphx at an exercise price of 25 cents per common share, all in accordance with the plan.
