Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[FOFreddie]

Does the fact that FNMA is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 have any bearing? Didnt Fannie and Freddie comply with the Securities Act voluntarily?

I think this became an issue with FMCC when they were raising equity prior to the Conservatorship because they had not filed 10-Ks or S-1s before 2008.

Here is a summary of the issue. Perhaps it has no bearing but FNMA and FMCC may be exempt issuers.
