He added that there is another piece of legislation in Judge Lambert's court about the contractual rights of the preferred shareholders, which he described as the "big elephant in the room."
Nice to see Calabria say what I've been saying for months.
Interesting that he doesn't mention Commons. Maybe only JPS have Contract Rights as previously alluded to?
Pagliara's statement in ValueWalk article consistent with these dates
Sept 14 - Final Listening Session Sept 28 - Finalize Capital Rule Oct 16 - Relist on NYSE Oct 30 - Settle Lawsuits? Nov 6 - Amend PSPA Nov 13 - Approve GSE capital plans Dec 20 - Convert Pfds Jan 11 - Release (under consent decree, depending on election outcome)
Pagliara also noted that operating on a consent decree will allow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to build earnings on their balance sheets by retaining them instead of by issuing a bunch of new shares, which would be dilutive to shareholders. He believes Calabria has plenty of levers he can pull to adjust the capital rule before it's finalized.
