Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[Wise Man]

NWS dividend authorized under one prerequisite: Separate Account plan.
Through the FHFA-C's Incidental Power "best interests of the Agency".
So, it wasn't an actual dividend payment but assessments sent to UST, in the form of capital distributions, under the guise of dividend payments (Restricted and unavailable Earnings for distribution, out of an Accumulated Deficit Retained Earnings accounts)

The dividend was impeccably suspended for the recapitalization of FnF.
Two sides of the same coin: the financial rehabilitation.
