DelphX Capital Markets Provides Update on CRS Program and Expands Broker-Dealer Services to Include Private Placements for Mid-Market Companies

‍

(TSXV: DELX) (OTCQB: DPXCF) ("DelphX" or "the Company"), a leader in the development of new classes of structured products for the fixed income market, wishes to update investors on the advancements in its Credit Rating Security ("CRS") program. As the merits of the CRS solution becomes more widely recognized, the Company has been able to expand both potential buyers and sellers of CRS to now include three leading hedge funds and two insurance companies, who together are negotiating terms to the first groupings of bonds which will be referenced in these first issuances. In a list of over 30 bonds being reviewed the Company expects transactions in CRS to be finalized in Q2 2025. Positive reception from hedge funds and institutional buyers underscores the potential for CRS to become a significant risk management tool. Under normal circumstances the Company expects to receive fees of USD $100,000 or more on each bond under which a CRS is issued.

The Company also wishes to announce the expansion of its broker-dealer services to include private placement business across all credit market products. This strategic initiative leverages DelphX's expertise in structured products and credit risk management to deliver innovative funding solutions tailored to mid-market companies. It also follows the requests from hedge funds to provide new lines of investment opportunities which are currently not being presented. Under no circumstances will this expansion infringe on the CRS program or any of its strategic initiatives.

"Based on demand from hedge funds and others who seek new investment opportunities, we are excited to broaden our broker-dealer capabilities to include private placements, targeting mid-market companies with unique financing needs," said Patrick Wood, President and CEO of DelphX Capital Markets Inc. "Our team's experience in bond markets, combined with strategic partnerships, enables us to connect growing corporations with capital efficiently and without harm to our primary focus of Credit Rating Securities. This expansion reinforces our commitment to innovation and value creation in the credit markets and further enhances revenue opportunities for the Company."
