CEO Commentary "One of our common themes in past communication has been the reminder that launching a new product category in the fixed income market involves a high level of legal and industry-specific expertise, expense, and time. So, to finally go live with a product that is one of its kind in the world's largest financial marketplace is a major milestone and a testament to the dedication and fortitude of our entire team," said DelphX CEO Patrick Wood. "Our launch week will be a true live market, with participants drawn from a growing list of institutions that understand the need to address the risk associated with bond downgrades by the major rating agencies. Importantly, this launch will officially begin our revenue and growth cycle, so we look forward to more frequent, substantive updates as our launch phase progresses." "The calibre of our two new team members speaks volumes about the importance of this launch and is a reflection of our goal to increase our operational expertise as we enter our growth phase. Bill Hahn fits this mode perfectly, having held CFO and other executive roles at companies during key transitional periods. He is the kind of hands-on CFO who will help us scale both our product offering and operations as we grow. Similarly, our new Company Advisor, Chris Schnarr, brings a tremendous long-term track record that seems to touch on every aspect of public and private finance and business development. Adding two industry veterans to coincide with our launch will strengthen us as we work to build both commercial and financial momentum in the coming months." About DelphX Capital Markets Inc.
