Freddie Mac Multifamily Reaches $80 Billion Securitization Milestone and Announces Ninth Securities Offering This Year, K-F04

MCLEAN, VA--(Marketwired - Aug 4, 2014) -  Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today announced a new offering of Structured Pass-Through Certificates ("K Certificates"), backed exclusively by LIBOR-based, floating rate multifamily mortgages with five- and seven-year terms. The company expects to offer approximately $1.2 billion in K Certificates ("K-F04 Certificates"), which are expected to price the week of August 4, 2014, and settle on or about August 25, 2014. This is Freddie Mac's ninth K Certificate offering this year. The company also reached an important milestone of securitizing more than $80 billion in multifamily mortgages through its K-Deal program.

"Achieving $80 billion in K-Deal securitizations is an important milestone for us," said Mitchell Resnick, vice president of Freddie Mac Multifamily Capital Markets. "We've gone from issuing two K-Deals in our first year to 19 last year, and have grown the investor base."

Resnick added, "Since the program's inception in 2009, we have financed over 4,400 properties and 1.2 million units, the majority of which are affordable. While we continue to finance and help preserve an adequate supply of rental housing, we also employ a business strategy that shifts the majority of risk away from the taxpayer by selling it to private investors."

The K-F04 Certificates are backed by recently originated floating rate multifamily mortgages. The K-F04 Certificates will be offered to the market by a syndicate of dealers led by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as co-lead managers and joint bookrunners. Barclays Capital Inc., CastleOak Securities, L.P., Jefferies LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC will serve as co-managers.

The K-F04 Certificates will not be rated and include one senior principal and interest class and one interest only class. The K-F04 Certificates are backed by corresponding classes from the FREMF 2014-KF04 Mortgage Trust ("K-F04 Trust"). The K-F04 Trust will also issue class B, C and R certificates, which will be subordinate to the classes backing the K-F04 Certificates and will not be guaranteed by Freddie Mac.

Freddie Mac is a leading issuer of agency-guaranteed structured multifamily securities. K Certificates feature a wide range of investor options with stable cash flows and a structured credit enhancement. K-Deals typically include guaranteed senior principal and interest, and interest only classes.
