Clayton's Murrayhill Company Unites Under Common Brand.

SHELTON, Conn. & DENVER -- Clayton Holdings, Inc. today announced that its subsidiary, The Murrayhill Company, is changing its name to Clayton Fixed Income Services effective October 21, 2005.

"Creating a common brand between parent and sister companies will allow us to better represent to our markets the full spectrum of our analytic and business intelligence capabilities that help clients achieve continuous improvement from origination through performance management," said Frank Filipps, Chairman & CEO.

Clayton's Fixed Income Services will continue to provide clients, security issuers and investors with servicer oversight and transparent reporting on MBS and ABS securities using the patent-pending risk filtering process from which it created the credit risk management business. In addition, Fixed Income Services will expand its solutions to include new products that benefit from the collective analytics and expertise across the Clayton enterprise.

"The strength of our business is based on the real world expertise and collective intelligence gained from the number of loans we review annually, amount of securities we monitor and the volume of loan performance data we maintain," said Filipps. "When we united Clayton Services and The Murrayhill Company, we did so to help our clients capitalize on the combined expertise of these two industry leaders. This is the next step in expanding upon that commitment."

Clayton's combined businesses have supported over $2.1 trillion in loan transactions, monitor $1 trillion (original balance) in securities under management, review 1 million loans annually and maintain the performance data on over 4 million loans.
