Bexil American Mortgage will be operated by an experienced executive team, led by John M. Robbins, the former CEO of American Mortgage Network and past Chairman of the Mortgage Bankers Association. This team has previously formed startups, and has operated and successfully sold two mortgage banks to major financial institutions, including JP Morgan Chase and Wachovia Bank.

Thomas Winmill, CEO and President of Bexil Corporation, commented, "Bexil seeks to make major equity interests in the best businesses we can find, and to work with superior managers to grow the value of the business prudently and solidly for the long term. John Robbins and his management team have demonstrated skill and experience in operating large, successful, mortgage originators for the past thirty years. This team recognizes the historic dislocation in the mortgage market and we are excited to partner with them to take advantage of it by starting Bexil American Mortgage."

John Robbins, President of Bexil American Mortgage, said, "This is a perfect time to build a new nationwide mortgage bank. I have always felt real opportunity is born in the vacuum created by the bottom of a cycle."

"We are delighted to be working with Bexil for the third time," said Douglas Hendrickson, co-founder and managing partner of MidCap Advisors. "We worked with Bexil twice on the York Insurance Services transaction and now on Bexil American. We expect this investment to be just as successful for Bexil."
