RE: DeMarco and FHFA-

The FHFA answered questions regarding its conservator role:

http://www.fhfa.gov/webfiles/35/FHFACONSERVQA.pdf

Q: Can the Conservator determine to liquidate the Company?
A: The Conservator cannot make a determination to liquidate the Company, although, short of that, the Conservator has the authority to run the company in whatever way will best achieve the Conservator’s goals (discussed above). However, assuming a statutory
ground exists and the Director of FHFA determines that the financial condition of the company requires it, the Director does have the discretion to place any regulated entity, including the Company, into receivership. Receivership is a statutory process for the
liquidation of a regulated entity. There are no plans to liquidate the Company.

Q: Can the Company be dissolved?
A: Although the company can be liquidated as explained above, by statute the charter of the Company must be transferred to a new entity and can only be dissolved by an Act of Congress.
