LoanLogics Announces Acquisition of LoanBeam NEW DEAL EXPANDS LOANLOGICS' PORTFOLIO OF ORIGINATION TOOLS THAT ENSURE LOAN QUALITY IN MANUFACTURING. L oanLogics has announced the acquisition of LoanBeam, a provider of income calcu- lation and verification technology endorsed by the government- sponsored entities (GSEs)—Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. "LoanBeam, like LoanLogics, has become an integral part of the digital transformation happen- ing within the mortgage indus- try," said Bill Neville, CEO of LoanLogics. "And now, they are expanding LoanLogics' portfolio of origination tools that ensure loan quality at the source." LoanBeam's products enable lenders to get upfront borrower income validation from any income source, cutting days out of the risk review process. Using patent-pending data pairing technology that leverages machine learning, LoanBeam interprets, sanitizes, categorizes, and converts unstructured data points from any document type into an orga- nized set of information. "We at LoanBeam believe we have found the ideal firm in LoanLogics, one to work closely with as we continue to grow and introduce new capabilities to the market," said Steve Puckett, CEO of LoanBeam. "LoanLogics, like LoanBeam, is known as an in- novator using advanced technol- ogy including machine learning to define, identify, extract, and run mortgage rules against static data for the creation of actionable, digital data output. We are similar in many respects." LoanLogics was acquired by an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners in July 2021. The company has already greatly benefited from the exper- tise, collaboration, and investment capability that Sun Capital brings. The LoanBeam acquisition is a result of that collaboration, leverag- ing LoanLogics' financial strength to grow quickly and substantially by increasing its ability to auto- mate various processes across the mortgage workflow. This is the first acquisition made by LoanLogics since it was acquired.

Infrrd's tech has the ability to extract and manage essential information from mortgage borrowers' docu- ments, with the help of mul- tiple AI and machine learning technologies. The new platform allows for the extraction and classification of information from a range of mortgage-related application docu- ments and turns it into actionable data. Infrrd for Mortgage deciphers diverse types of documents, and identifies many variations of fields and images within them, expedit- ing the entire lending process, seamlessly and cost effectively. "Our launch of Infrrd for Mortgage is unveiling at an ex- tremely critical time in that it has become abundantly clear the mort- gage industry is starving for auto- mation," said Amit Jnagal, Infrrd Founder and CEO. "Our solution takes lenders one step closer to clearing a path toward low- or no-touch mortgage loan processes. By leveraging our proprietary, patented IDP technology and expertise, lenders can better scale their businesses and allow their employees to devote their time and skills to higher value tasks." Via AI technology, Infrrd for Mortgage is capable of not only extracting data, but also flagging information that may require human attention, in rare circum- stances, resulting in better use of human capital resources.

CLARITY works with all products, including traditional appraisals, hybrid and bifurcated valuations, broker price opinions (BPOs), and property inspections, as well as custom forms created within ClearValue's ACUITY platform. It also proactively man- ages the ordering and prompt delivery of third-party products and services.
