Freddie Mac Announces 50th Multifamily Securities Offering Since 2009, Series K-031

MCLEAN, VA--(Marketwired - Aug 5, 2013) - Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today announced its 50(th) offering of multifamily mortgage-backed Structured Pass-Through Certificates ("K Certificates") since the program began in 2009. To date, the company has sold more than $60 billion in multifamily mortgages for securitization.

"When we introduced our K-Deal offerings in 2009, our goal was to make it a scalable program with regular issuance," said Mitchell Resnick, vice president of Freddie Mac Multifamily Loan Pricing and Securitization. "We've achieved that goal and at the same time reduce credit exposure by transferring the riskiest portion of the structure to private capital markets investors."

Resnick added, "Throughout the program's history, investor demand has been solid, enabling us to become one of the largest U.S. issuers of CMBS. We've steadily increased our securitized loan volume every year from $2 billion in 2009 to $21 billion in 2012, and more than $19 billion so far this year. We look forward to continuing to build the program."
