ANN ARBOR, MI / ACCESSWIRE / August 1, 2024 / University Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQB:UNIB)(or "UNIB") announced that it has completed an internal corporate restructuring by acquiring Hyrex Servicing, LLC ("Hyrex Servicing") from University Bank, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Hyrex Servicing Holding Company, LLC. Hyrex Servicing Holding Company, LLC paid $5.5 million for Hyrex Servicing.

Hyrex Servicing, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approved Primary Servicer and currently licensed or otherwise able to own mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") in 42 states, plus the District of Columbia. It has applied for or is in the process of applying for licenses to own MSRs in the remaining eight states. In addition, it can also own whole loans across all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia.

Through its ability to own and manage mortgage related assets, both whole loans and MSRs, Hyrex Servicing plans to partner with third party investment advisors and institutional investors who do not have the necessary licensing or operational framework to invest in such assets. Hyrex Servicing will generate revenue through Primary Servicing or other similar fees based upon the unpaid principal balance of these mortgage related assets on its balance sheet. As Hyrex Servicing partners with more investors and grows the number of assets on its balance sheet, these fees are expected to increase Hyrex Servicing's enterprise value.

Because Hyrex Servicing owned $3.98 million of MSRs at the time of the acquisition, the sale will increase University Bank's Tier 1 Capital by over $3.14 million, while lowering total assets by $5.5 million, which would also release $550,000 in Tier 1 Capital at University Bank, for a total of $3.69 million of capital being released by the transaction. As a result, under the dividend policy of University Bank within a few months the net impact on UNIB's working capital will be reduced to $1.81 million.

As Hyrex Servicing grows the assets on its balance sheet, some of the MSRs being purchased by third-party money management firms are anticipated to be sourced from University Bank and its affiliates, freeing additional Tier 1 Capital at University Bank over time, in the amount of about $7 million. Hyrex Servicing also utilizes University Bank as its primary depository, and Midwest Loan Services as its primary subservicer.

Financial & Operational Update

UNIB had net income of $2,129,852 or $0.43 per share in the first quarter of 2024, versus net income of $855,818, or $0.17 per share in the first quarter of 2023. Shareholders equity at 3/31/2024 rose to $86,348,746, equivalent to $16.70 per share, as calculated using the 5,169,518 shares of UNIB common stock outstanding at 3/31/2024. University Bank is now licensed to originate forward and reverse mortgage loans in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
