| We have been under conservatorship, with the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) acting as conservator, since September 6, 2008. As conservator, FHFA succeeded to all rights, titles, powers and privileges of the company, and of any shareholder, officer or director of the company with respect to the company and its assets. The conservator has since provided for the exercise of certain authorities by our Board of Directors. Our directors do not have any fiduciary duties to any person or entity except to the conservator and, accordingly, are not obligated to consider the interests of the company, the holders of our equity or debt securities, or the holders of Fannie Mae MBS unless specifically directed to do so by the conservator. | |
| We do not know when or how the conservatorship will terminate, what further changes to our business will be made during or following conservatorship, what form we will have and what ownership interest, if any, our current common and preferred stockholders will hold in us after the conservatorship is terminated or whether we will continue to exist following conservatorship. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) released a plan in September 2019 for housing finance reform (the “Treasury plan”) that includes recommendations related to ending our conservatorship, and FHFA has established 2020 performance objectives for us that include preparing for our eventual exit from conservatorship. Congress and the Administration continue to consider options for reform of the housing finance system, including Fannie Mae. We are not permitted to retain more than $25 billion in capital reserves or to pay dividends or other distributions to stockholders other than Treasury. Our agreements with Treasury include covenants that significantly restrict our business activities. For additional information on the conservatorship, the uncertainty of our future, our agreements with Treasury, and recent developments relating to housing finance reform, see “Conservatorship, Treasury Agreements and Housing Finance Reform,” “Charter Act and Regulation” and “Risk Factors.” | |

Forward-looking statements in this report are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to significant uncertainties and changes in circumstances, as we describe in “Business—Forward-Looking Statements.” Future events and our future results may differ materially from those reflected in our forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report.

Item 1. Business
Introduction
Fannie Mae is a leading source of financing for mortgages in the United States. Our earnings are primarily driven by guaranty fees we receive for managing the credit risk on mortgage-backed securities we issue. Our mission is to provide a stable source of liquidity to support housing in the U.S. for low- and moderate-income borrowers and renters. We operate in the secondary mortgage market, primarily working with lenders, who originate loans to borrowers. We do not originate loans or lend money directly to borrowers in the primary mortgage market. Instead, we securitize mortgage loans originated by lenders into Fannie Mae mortgage-backed securities that we guarantee (which we refer to as Fannie Mae MBS or our MBS); purchase mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities, primarily for securitization and sale at a later date; manage mortgage credit risk; and engage in other activities that support access to credit and the supply of affordable housing. Through our single-family and multifamily business segments, we provided over $650 billion in liquidity to the mortgage market in 2019, which enabled the financing of approximately 3 million home purchases, refinancings or rental units.

2017 vs. 2018 | | 2018 vs. 2019 |
| | |
| | |
The increase in our net income in 2018 compared with 2017 was primarily driven by a reduction in our provision for federal income taxes in 2018 due to: • a one-time tax charge recorded in 2017 for federal income taxes in the amount of $9.9 billion; and • the lower corporate tax rate in effect for 2018 as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”).
.
| | The decrease in our net income in 2019 compared with 2018 was primarily driven by a shift from fair value gains in 2018 to fair value losses in 2019 as a result of decreasing interest rates throughout most of 2019.
|
See “MD&A—Consolidated Results of Operations” for more information on our financial results.
Net worth. Our net worth was $14.6 billion as of December 31, 2019.
Financial performance. Our long-term financial performance will depend on many factors, including:
| |
• | the size of the GSEs’ share and our share of the U.S. mortgage market, which in turn will depend upon such factors as population growth, household formation and home price appreciation; |
| |
• | borrower performance and interest rate movements; and |
| |
• | actions by FHFA, the Administration and Congress relating to our business and housing finance reform, including the capital requirements that will be applicable to us, our ongoing financial obligations to Treasury, potential restrictions on our activities and our business footprint, and our competitive environment. |

| | Business | Executive Summary |
Quarterly fluctuations in acquisition volumes, market share, guaranty fees, or acquisition credit characteristics in any one period have limited impact on the size and stability of our conventional guaranty book of business and the associated revenue, profitability, and credit quality.
Net Worth, Treasury Funding and Senior Preferred Stock Dividends
Treasury has made a commitment under a senior preferred stock purchase agreement to provide funding to us under certain circumstances if we have a net worth deficit. Pursuant to the senior preferred stock purchase agreement, we issued shares of senior preferred stock to Treasury in 2008. We paid dividends to Treasury on the senior preferred stock on a quarterly basis for every dividend period for which dividends were payable since we entered conservatorship in 2008.
Under the terms of the senior preferred stock, effective with the third quarter 2019 dividend period, we will not owe dividends to Treasury until we have accumulated over $25 billion in net worth as of the end of a quarter. Accordingly, no dividends were payable to Treasury for the fourth quarter of 2019, and none are payable for the first quarter of 2020. Changes in our net worth can be significantly impacted by market conditions that affect our net interest income; fluctuations in the estimated fair value of our derivatives and other financial instruments that we mark to market through our earnings; developments that affect our loss reserves such as changes in interest rates, home prices or accounting standards, or events such as natural disasters; and other factors, as we discuss in “Risk Factors” and “MD&A—Consolidated Results of Operations.”
The charts below show information about our net worth, the remaining amount of Treasury’s funding commitment to us, senior preferred stock dividends we have paid Treasury and funds we have drawn from Treasury pursuant to its funding commitment.
| |
(1) | Aggregate amount of dividends we have paid to Treasury on the senior preferred stock from 2008 through December 31, 2019. Under the terms of the senior preferred stock purchase agreement, dividend payments we make to Treasury do not offset our draws of funds from Treasury. |
| |
(2) | Aggregate amount of funds we have drawn from Treasury pursuant to the senior preferred stock purchase agreement from 2008 through December 31, 2019. |
The aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock increased from $127.2 billion as of September 30, 2019 to $131.2 billion as of December 31, 2019 due to the increase in our net worth during the third quarter of 2019. The aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock will further increase to $135.4 billion as of March 31, 2020 due to the increase in our net worth during the fourth quarter of 2019.
For a description of the terms of the senior preferred stock purchase agreement and the senior preferred stock, see “Conservatorship, Treasury Agreements and Housing Finance Reform.”
Treasury owns our senior preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 79.9% of our common stock. Treasury has also made a commitment under the senior preferred stock purchase agreement to provide us with funds to maintain a positive net worth under specified conditions. However, the U.S. government does not guarantee our securities or other obligations.

Our Strategic Objectives
Our vision is to be America’s most valued housing partner and to provide liquidity, access to credit and affordability in all U.S. housing markets at all times, while effectively managing risk.
Planning for Changing Market and Regulatory Conditions
We adopted, and FHFA approved, a new strategic plan in early 2020 in light of changing regulatory and market conditions. In September 2019, Treasury released its plan for housing finance reform, which includes recommendations related to ending our conservatorship, and in October 2019 FHFA released 2020 performance objectives for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the “government-sponsored enterprises” or “GSEs”) that include preparing for our eventual exit from conservatorship. The Treasury plan contains a number of recommendations that could significantly affect our competitive environment. FHFA’s performance objectives include focusing on our core mission responsibilities to foster competitive, liquid, efficient, and resilient national housing finance markets that support sustainable homeownership and affordable rental housing. Our strategic objectives are designed to ensure we are ready for the market and regulatory changes we anticipate:
| |
• | an eventual exit from conservatorship; |
| |
• | a more competitive landscape, in which competition could come from both traditional parties and firms using new technological approaches; and |
| |
• | the need to attract private investment capital as a full participant in the global capital markets. |
We discuss the Treasury plan and FHFA’s objectives more fully in “Conservatorship, Treasury Agreements and Housing Finance Reform—Housing Finance Reform.”
Our Strategic Objectives
Our new strategic plan contains three objectives:
| |
• | Ensure that we are a return-oriented company that is able to attract private capital while managing risk to the company and the housing finance system. |
| |
• | Increase operational agility and accelerate our digital transformation to deliver more value to our customers and to the broader housing finance system. |
| |
• | Build on our mission-oriented activities to become a globally-recognized, top-performing ESG (environmental, social and governance) financial services company by delivering positive mission and community outcomes with our stakeholders. |
Accomplishments under our Recently Completed Strategic Plan
Our pursuit of our new strategic objectives will build on our accomplishments in pursuing our prior strategic priorities:
| |
• | advancing a sustainable and reliable business model with low risk to the housing finance system and taxpayers; |
| |
• | providing great service to our customers and partners, enabling them to serve the needs of American households more effectively; |
| |
• | supporting and sustainably increasing access to credit and affordable housing; and |
| |
• | building a simple, efficient, innovative and continuously improving company. |
Our pursuit of these objectives improved our operations and our relationship with our customers, and helped to position us to compete effectively in a diverse and rapidly changing housing finance market.
Advancing a sustainable and reliable business model with low risk to the housing finance system and taxpayers
We significantly changed our business model over the last decade in ways that reduced risks for the housing system and taxpayers. We strengthened our underwriting and eligibility standards, developed innovative credit risk transfer programs, and transitioned from a portfolio-driven business to a guaranty-driven business.
|
| | |
Fannie Mae 2019 Form 10-K | | 4 |
|
| | |
| | Business | Executive Summary |
Over the last decade, our strong underwriting and eligibility standards significantly improved the credit quality of our single-family guaranty book of business and, combined with improvement in the overall economy, including strong home price growth, drove substantial improvement in our single-family credit performance. Our single-family serious delinquency rate decreased in 2019, primarily driven by improved loan payment performance and nonperforming loan sales. With the exception of 2017, which was marked by several major hurricanes, our single-family serious delinquency rate has decreased in each of the last ten years.
Single-Family Serious Delinquency Rate1
| |
(1) | Calculated as of December 31 for each year shown, based on the number of single-family conventional loans that are 90 days or more past due and loans that have been referred to foreclosure but not yet foreclosed upon, divided by the number of loans in our single-family conventional guaranty book of business. |
In pursuit of advancing our sustainable and reliable business model, we developed new risk-sharing capabilities to transfer portions of our mortgage credit risk to the private market, which we discuss in “Managing Mortgage Credit Risk,” “MD&A—Single-Family Business—Single-Family Mortgage Credit Risk Management” and “MD&A—Multifamily Business—Multifamily Mortgage Credit Risk Management.” We also worked on significant innovations to our securitization operations and business in connection with the development and issuance of single-family uniform mortgage-backed securities, or “UMBS®”, and the launch of the common securitization platform, which we discuss in “Mortgage Securitizations.”
Providing great service to our customers and partners, enabling them to serve the needs of American households more effectively
We achieve our mission through our customers. Responding to and anticipating the changing needs of our mortgage lender and servicer customers and our investors with products, services and tools that offer greater speed, efficiency and effectiveness is a core part of our strategy. In 2019, we continued to make improvements to our business processes and policies to serve our customers better and enhance the value they can deliver to borrowers. We continue to work towards our goal of a digital mortgage process that meaningfully reduces the time, cost and risk of originating and servicing mortgage loans. In addition to providing value to our customers, we believe these improvements will encourage lenders to safely expand their lending to a wider range of qualified borrowers. We also continue to work on enhancing our customers’ day-to-day experience in doing business with us.
Supporting and sustainably increasing access to credit and affordable housing
We have a mission to provide liquidity and promote stability and affordability in the residential mortgage market. This mission includes promoting access to mortgage credit throughout the nation. We focus on supporting sustainable access to credit and affordable housing, within our risk tolerance. In recent years, market forces have contributed to an overall decline in the supply of affordable housing for both single-family homes and multifamily rental housing. We are working on multiple fronts to help address housing affordability issues. Our work includes serving underserved markets through our duty to serve plan, which incorporates solutions to expand our reach into three underserved markets: manufactured housing; affordable housing preservation; and rural housing. We also support housing affordability through our purchases of loans to meet our single-family

and multifamily housing goals and our Multifamily business’s continued investments in low income housing tax credit (“LIHTC”) projects. See “Charter Act and Regulation—Charter Act” for more information about our mission.
Building a simple, efficient, innovative and continuously improving company
With the goal of making Fannie Mae more competitive and responsive to changing market conditions and customer expectations, we continue to work on internal, multiyear initiatives to make our organization simpler, more efficient and more innovative. For example, we made significant progress in 2019 on a number of strategic projects to improve our technology infrastructure, including projects aimed at simplifying the customer experience and improving our data infrastructure. We also continued to implement plans designed to improve the effectiveness of our organization, including continuing to increase the percentage of our workforce using lean and agile management principles and techniques.
Managing Mortgage Credit Risk
We facilitate the flow of global capital into the U.S. mortgage market by assuming and managing credit risk. Accordingly, effective credit risk management is a key component of our overall operations. Our single-family and multifamily businesses have built a comprehensive approach to credit risk management with end-to-end processes.
Our single-family credit risk management strategy includes acquisition and servicing policies, underwriting and servicing standards, portfolio diversification and monitoring, problem loan and real estate owned (“REO”) management, and the transfer of credit risk through credit enhancements including credit risk transfer transactions.
The Federal National Mortgage Association Charter Act, which we refer to as the Charter Act or our charter, requires that we obtain credit enhancements on our single-family conventional mortgage loans that have loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios over 80% when we acquire them. We use several types of credit enhancements, including primary mortgage insurance, pool mortgage insurance and credit risk transfer transactions. We refer to our credit enhancements that we obtain at the time we acquire a loan as “front-end” enhancements, and those we obtain after acquiring a loan as “back-end” enhancements.
In our back-end risk transfer transactions, we use risk-sharing capabilities we have developed to obtain credit enhancement by transferring portions of our single-family and multifamily mortgage credit risk on reference pools of mortgage loans to the private market. In most of our credit risk transfer transactions, investors receive payments, which effectively reduce the guaranty fee income we retain on the loans. In exchange for these payments, our credit risk transfer transactions are designed to transfer to the investors a portion of the losses we expect would be incurred in an economic downturn or a stressed credit environment. Our more recent credit risk transfer transactions have been designed to transfer a greater share of this risk.
We enter into credit risk transfer transactions when it is economically advantageous for us to do so. Because they reduce our credit risk, our credit risk transfer transactions and other credit enhancements also help us manage our capital. Because loans are generally included in back-end credit risk transfer transactions on a lagged basis, we measure the impact of our 2019 credit risk transfer activity by how much it reduced our capital requirements on loans we acquired in 2018. Our single-family credit risk transfer transactions and primary mortgage insurance coverage through December 31, 2019 reduced our conservatorship capital requirement for the single-family loans we acquired in 2018 that were covered by these credit enhancements by over 80%. Our multifamily back-end credit risk transfer transactions and lender risk-sharing through December 31, 2019 reduced our conservatorship capital requirement for our 2018 multifamily business acquisitions by over 70%. See “Charter Act and Regulation—GSE Act and Other Legislation” for more information on the conservatorship capital framework.
The chart below displays the percentage of loans in our single-family guaranty book of business, measured by unpaid principal balance, that are covered by one or more forms of credit enhancement, including mortgage insurance or a credit risk transfer transaction, including transactions under our Connecticut Avenue Securities® (“CAS”) program and our Credit Insurance Risk TransferTM (“CIRTTM”) program.

We provide more information about loans in our single-family guaranty book of business that are currently without credit enhancement and about our single-family credit enhancement programs in “MD&A—Single-Family Business—Single-Family Mortgage Credit Risk Management.” We will continue transferring credit risk to investors in 2020 and future years, subject to market conditions and our ability to obtain economically advantageous terms.
Our Multifamily business uses a shared-risk business model that distributes credit risk to the private markets, primarily through our Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (“DUS®”) program, which was initiated in 1988. Under DUS, we delegate to lenders the ability to underwrite multifamily loans in accordance with our standards and requirements, and our DUS lenders typically share with us approximately one-third of the credit risk on these loans, aligning the interests of lenders and Fannie Mae from day one. The lender risk-sharing we obtain through our DUS program accompanies our multifamily loans at the time we acquire them. To complement this front-end lender-risk sharing, we also engage in back-end credit risk transfer transactions through our multifamily CIRT and Multifamily Connecticut Avenue Securities™ (“MCAS”) transactions. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 98% of the unpaid principal balance of loans in our multifamily guaranty book of business had lender risk-sharing. In addition, the percentage of loans in our multifamily guaranty book of business that were covered by a back-end credit risk transfer transaction increased from 12% as of December 31, 2018 to 25% as of December 31, 2019.
See “MD&A—Multifamily Business—Multifamily Mortgage Credit Risk Management” for more information on how we manage credit risk in our multifamily guaranty book of business.
Mortgage Securitizations
We support market liquidity by issuing Fannie Mae MBS that are readily traded in the capital markets. We create Fannie Mae MBS by placing mortgage loans in a trust and issuing securities that are backed by those mortgage loans. Monthly payments received on the loans are the primary source of payments passed through to Fannie Mae MBS holders. We guarantee to the MBS trust that we will supplement amounts received by the MBS trust as required to permit timely payment of principal and interest on the trust certificates. In return for this guaranty, we receive guaranty fees.
Below we discuss (1) the three broad categories of our securitization transactions; (2) features of our MBS trusts; (3) single-class and multi-class Fannie Mae MBS and (4) UMBS.
Securitization Transactions
We currently securitize a substantial majority of the single-family and multifamily mortgage loans we acquire. Our securitization transactions primarily fall within three broad categories: lender swap transactions, portfolio securitizations, and structured securitizations.
Lender Swap Transactions
Our most common type of securitization transaction is our “lender swap transaction.” In a single-family lender swap transaction, a mortgage lender that operates in the primary mortgage market generally delivers a pool of mortgage loans to us in exchange for Fannie Mae MBS backed by these mortgage loans. Lenders may hold the Fannie Mae MBS they receive from us or sell them to investors. A pool of mortgage loans is a group of mortgage loans with similar characteristics. After receiving the mortgage loans in a lender swap transaction, we place them in a trust for which we serve as trustee. This trust is established for the sole purpose of holding the mortgage loans separate and apart from our corporate assets. We deliver to the lender (or its designee) Fannie Mae MBS that are backed by the pool of mortgage loans in the trust and that represent an undivided beneficial ownership interest in each of the mortgage loans. We guarantee to each MBS trust that we will supplement amounts received by the MBS trust as required to permit timely payment of principal and interest on the related Fannie Mae MBS. We are entitled to a portion of the interest payment as a fee for providing our guaranty. The mortgage servicer also retains a portion of the interest payment as a fee for servicing the loan. Then, on behalf of the trust, we make monthly distributions to the Fannie Mae MBS certificateholders from the principal and interest payments and other collections on the underlying mortgage loans.

Lender Swap Transaction
Our Multifamily business generally creates multifamily Fannie Mae MBS in lender swap transactions in a manner similar to our Single-Family business. Our multifamily lender customers typically deliver only one mortgage loan to back each multifamily Fannie Mae MBS. The characteristics of each mortgage loan are used to establish guaranty fees on a risk-adjusted basis. Securitizing a multifamily mortgage loan into a Fannie Mae MBS facilitates its sale into the secondary market.
Portfolio Securitization Transactions
In contrast to our lender swap securitizations, in which a mortgage lender delivers a pool of mortgage loans to us that we immediately place in a trust for securitization, we also purchase mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities for securitization and sale at a later date through our “portfolio securitization transactions.” Most of our portfolio securitization transactions are driven by our single-family whole loan conduit activities, pursuant to which we purchase single-family whole loans from a large group of typically smaller lenders principally for the purpose of securitizing the loans into Fannie Mae MBS, which may then be sold to dealers and investors. We also securitize loans that have been held in our portfolio for a longer period of time, including reperforming loans. Reperforming loans are mortgage loans on which the borrower had previously been delinquent but subsequently became current, either with or without a modification.

Structured Securitization Transactions
In a “structured securitization transaction,” we create structured Fannie Mae MBS, typically for our lender customers or securities dealer customers, in exchange for a transaction fee. In these transactions, the customer “swaps” a mortgage-related asset that it owns (typically a mortgage security) in exchange for a structured Fannie Mae MBS we issue. The process for issuing Fannie Mae MBS in a structured securitization is similar to the process involved in our lender swap securitizations described above.
We also issue structured transactions backed by multifamily Fannie Mae MBS through the Fannie Mae Guaranteed Multifamily Structures (“Fannie Mae GeMSTM”) program, which provides additional liquidity and stability to the multifamily market, while expanding the investor base for multifamily Fannie Mae MBS.
Features of Our MBS Trusts
Our MBS trusts hold either single-family or multifamily mortgage loans or mortgage-related securities. Each trust operates in accordance with a trust agreement or a trust indenture. Generally, each MBS trust is also governed by an issue supplement documenting the formation of that MBS trust, the identification of its related assets and the issuance of the related Fannie Mae MBS. The trust agreement or the trust indenture, together with the issue supplement and any amendments, are considered the “trust documents” that govern an individual MBS trust.
Single-Class and Multi-Class Fannie Mae MBS
Fannie Mae MBS trusts may be single-class or multi-class. Single-class MBS are MBS in which the investors receive principal and interest payments on the mortgage loans backing the MBS directly in proportion to their percentage ownership of the MBS issuance. Multi-class MBS are MBS, including real estate mortgage investment conduit securities (“REMICs”), in which the cash flows on the underlying mortgage assets are divided, creating several classes of securities, each of which represents a beneficial ownership interest in the assets of the related MBS trust and entitles the related holder to a specific portion and priority of cash flows. Terms to maturity of some multi-class Fannie Mae MBS, particularly REMIC classes, may match or be shorter than the maturity of the underlying mortgage loans and/or mortgage-related securities. After these classes mature, cash flows received on the underlying mortgage assets are allocated to the remaining classes in accordance with the payment terms of the securities. As a result, each of the classes in a multi-class MBS may have a different coupon rate, average life, repayment sensitivity or final maturity. Structured Fannie Mae MBS are either multi-class MBS or single-class MBS that are typically resecuritizations of other single-class Fannie Mae MBS. In a resecuritization, pools of MBS are collected and securitized.
Uniform Mortgage-Backed Securities, or UMBS
Overview
In May 2019, we began using the common securitization platform operated by Common Securitization Solutions, LLC (“CSS”), a limited liability company we own jointly with Freddie Mac, to perform certain aspects of the securitization process for our single-family Fannie Mae MBS issuances. In June 2019, we and Freddie Mac began issuing UMBS. This represented the final implementation of the Single Security Initiative that we, Freddie Mac and FHFA began working on in 2014 to develop a single common mortgage-backed security issued by both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to finance fixed-rate mortgage loans backed by single-family properties. The uniform mortgage-backed security is intended to maximize liquidity for both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage-backed securities in the to-be-announced (“TBA”) market. The issuance of UMBS and use of the common securitization platform represent significant changes for the mortgage market and for our securitization operations and business.
UMBS and Structured Securities
Each of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac issues and guarantees UMBS and structured securities backed by UMBS and other securities, as described below.
| |
• | UMBS. Each of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac issues and guarantees UMBS that are directly backed by the mortgage loans it has acquired, referred to as “first-level securities.” UMBS issued by Fannie Mae are backed only by mortgage loans that Fannie Mae has acquired, and similarly UMBS issued by Freddie Mac are backed only by mortgage loans that Freddie Mac has acquired. There is no commingling of Fannie Mae- and Freddie Mac-acquired loans within UMBS. |
Mortgage loans backing UMBS are limited to fixed-rate mortgage loans eligible for financing through the TBA market. We continue to issue some types of Fannie Mae MBS that are not TBA-eligible and therefore are not issued as UMBS, such as single-family Fannie Mae MBS backed by adjustable-rate mortgages and all multifamily Fannie Mae MBS.
| |
• | Structured Securities. Each of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac also issues and guarantees structured mortgage-backed securities, referred to as “second-level securities,” that are resecuritizations of UMBS or previously-issued structured securities. In contrast to UMBS, second-level securities can be commingled—that is, they can include both Fannie Mae securities and Freddie Mac securities as the underlying collateral for the security. These structured |
|
| | |
Fannie Mae 2019 Form 10-K | | 9 |
|
| | |
| | Business | Mortgage Securitizations |
securities include SupersTM, which are single-class resecuritizations, and REMICs, which are multi-class resecuritizations. While Supers are backed only by TBA-eligible securities, REMICs can be backed by TBA-eligible or non-TBA-eligible securities.
The key features of UMBS are the same as those of legacy single-family Fannie Mae MBS. Accordingly, all single-family Fannie Mae MBS that are directly backed by fixed-rate loans and generally eligible for trading in the TBA market are UMBS, whether issued before or after the June 3, 2019 Single Security Initiative implementation date. In this report, we use the term “Fannie Mae-issued UMBS” to refer to single-family Fannie Mae MBS that are directly backed by fixed-rate mortgage loans and generally eligible for trading in the TBA market. We use the term “Fannie Mae MBS” or “our MBS” to refer to any type of mortgage-backed security that we issue, including UMBS, Supers, REMICs and other types of single-family or multifamily mortgage-backed securities. References to our single-family guaranty book of business in this report exclude Freddie Mac-acquired mortgage loans underlying Freddie Mac mortgage-related securities that we have resecuritized.
We entered into an indemnification agreement with Freddie Mac relating to the commingled structured securities that we and Freddie Mac issue. When we issue a structured security backed in whole or part by Freddie Mac securities, we provide a new and separate guaranty on the structured security. If Freddie Mac were to fail to make a payment due on its securities underlying the structured security, we would be obligated under our guaranty to fund any shortfall. Under the indemnification agreement, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac each have agreed to indemnify the other party for losses caused by: its failure to meet its payment or other specified obligations under the trust agreements pursuant to which the underlying resecuritized securities were issued; its failure to meet its obligations under the customer services agreement described below; its violations of laws; or with respect to material misstatements or omissions in offering documents, ongoing disclosures and related materials relating to the underlying resecuritized securities.
Common Securitization Platform
The common securitization platform operated by CSS has replaced certain elements of Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s proprietary systems for securitizing single-family mortgages and performing associated back-office and administrative functions. The design of the common securitization platform also allows for the potential integration of additional market participants in the future. We no longer use our individual proprietary securitization function for our single-family MBS issuances. In addition to using the common securitization platform for our newly issued UMBS issuances, we are also now using the common securitization platform for certain ongoing administrative functions for our previously issued and outstanding single-family Fannie Mae MBS. We do not use the common securitization platform operated by CSS for securitizing or performing associated administrative functions for our multifamily Fannie Mae MBS.
CSS is jointly owned by us and Freddie Mac. CSS operates as a separate company from us and Freddie Mac, with all funding and limited administrative support services and other resources provided to it by us and Freddie Mac. CSS owns the common securitization platform and has granted a non-exclusive perpetual, paid-up license to each of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to use the materials and intellectual property owned and licensed by CSS while each is a member of CSS. We are parties to the following agreements relating to the governance and operation of CSS and the common securitization platform.
| |
• | Limited Liability Company Agreement. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and CSS are parties to a limited liability company agreement that sets forth the overall framework for the joint venture, including Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s rights and responsibilities as members of CSS, the governance of CSS and the intellectual property rights of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and CSS in the common securitization platform. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac each has a 50% financial ownership interest in CSS, and each company makes capital contributions of equal value to CSS to fund the entirety of CSS’s operations. The agreement provides that FHFA has the decision-making role in CSS’s governance while Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are both in conservatorship or receivership, including: the right to approve specified significant matters such as budgets, business plans, capital contributions, and appointments, compensation and removal of CSS officers; and the authority to resolve any deadlocks. |
In January 2020 FHFA directed us and Freddie Mac to enter into an amended limited liability company agreement that affects our influence and governance rights over CSS even if we exit conservatorship. The amendment removed the requirement that any Board action must be approved by at least one manager from each GSE. The amendment also expanded the CSS Board of Managers from two managers designated by Fannie Mae and two managers designated by Freddie Mac to also include: (1) the CSS Chief Executive Officer; (2) a Board Chair not affiliated with either GSE or CSS (who was designated by FHFA in January 2020); and (3) up to three additional Board members not affiliated with either GSE or CSS. Board actions must be approved by a majority vote and, while we and Freddie Mac both remain in conservatorship, FHFA has the right to designate the additional Board members and the Board Chair, and no Board action may be taken without the affirmative vote of the Board Chair. The Board Chair, CSS CEO and three additional FHFA-designated Board members, if designated, will constitute a majority of the Board, in which case the four managers designated by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will constitute a minority of the Board and could be outvoted by non-GSE designated Board members on any matter during conservatorship and on a number of significant matters following either our or Freddie Mac’s exit from conservatorship.
Under the amended agreement, if either we or Freddie Mac exit conservatorship, approval by at least one manager designated by each GSE will be required for “material decisions,” including the following:
◦material business changes such as adding a new business line or reducing support of UMBS;
|
| | |

|
| | |
| | Business | Mortgage Securitizations |
◦capital contributions beyond those necessary to support CSS’s ordinary business operations;
◦the designation or removal of the CSS CEO; and
◦the admission of new LLC members.
| |
• | Customer Services Agreement. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and CSS are parties to a customer services agreement that sets forth the terms under which CSS provides mortgage securitization services to us and Freddie Mac, including the operation of the common securitization platform. CSS uses the common securitization platform to perform data validation, issuance, at-issuance and ongoing disclosures, tax reporting and bond administration for Fannie Mae’s single-family mortgage-backed securities. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do not pay service fees under the customer services agreement; CSS operations are funded entirely through capital contributions from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pursuant to the limited liability company agreement described above. |
| |
• | Administrative Services Agreement. Each of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is party to a separate administrative services agreement with CSS that sets forth the support services each company provides to CSS. We provide procurement services to CSS. Freddie Mac provides tax-related services to CSS. |
We discuss risks posed by our reliance on CSS in “Risk Factors—GSE and Conservatorship Risk.”
Conservatorship, Treasury Agreements and Housing Finance Reform
Conservatorship
On September 6, 2008, the Director of FHFA appointed FHFA as our conservator, pursuant to authority provided by the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992, as amended, including by the Federal Housing Finance Regulatory Reform Act of 2008 (together, the “GSE Act”). The conservatorship is a statutory process designed to preserve and conserve our assets and property and put the company in a sound and solvent condition.
The conservatorship has no specified termination date. Although the Treasury plan and FHFA’s recently released strategic plan address ending the conservatorship, as we discuss below in “Housing Finance Reform,” there continues to be significant uncertainty regarding the future of our company, including how long the company will continue to exist in its current form, the extent of our role in the market, the level of government support of our business, how long we will be in conservatorship, what form we will have and what ownership interest, if any, our current common and preferred stockholders will hold in us after the conservatorship is terminated, and whether we will continue to exist following conservatorship. For more information on the risks to our business relating to the conservatorship and uncertainties regarding the future of our company and business, as well as the adverse effects of the conservatorship on the rights of holders of our common and preferred stock, see “Risk Factors—GSE and Conservatorship Risk.”
Our conservatorship could terminate through a receivership. For information on the circumstances under which FHFA is required or permitted to place us into receivership and the potential consequences of receivership, see “Charter Act and Regulation—GSE Act and Other Legislation—Receivership” and “Risk Factors—GSE and Conservatorship Risks.”
Management of the Company during Conservatorship
Upon its appointment, the conservator immediately succeeded to (1) all rights, titles, powers and privileges of Fannie Mae, and of any shareholder, officer or director of Fannie Mae with respect to Fannie Mae and its assets, and (2) title to the books, records and assets of any other legal custodian of Fannie Mae. The conservator subsequently issued an order that provided for our Board of Directors to exercise specified authorities. The conservator also provided instructions regarding matters for which conservator decision or notification is required. The conservator retains the authority to amend or withdraw its order and instructions at any time. For more information on the authorities of our Board of Directors during conservatorship, see “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance—Corporate Governance—Conservatorship and Board Authorities.”
Our directors serve on behalf of the conservator and exercise their authority as directed by and with the approval, where required, of the conservator. Our directors have no fiduciary duties to any person or entity except to the conservator. Accordingly, our directors are not obligated to consider the interests of the company, the holders of our equity or debt securities, or the holders of Fannie Mae MBS unless specifically directed to do so by the conservator.
Because we are in conservatorship, our common stockholders currently do not have the ability to elect directors or to vote on other matters. The conservator eliminated common and preferred stock dividends (other than dividends on the senior preferred stock issued to Treasury) during the conservatorship.
Powers of the Conservator under the GSE Act
FHFA has broad powers when acting as our conservator. As conservator, FHFA can direct us to enter into contracts or enter into contracts on our behalf. Further, FHFA may transfer or sell any of our assets or liabilities (subject to limitations and post-transfer notice provisions for transfers of certain types of financial contracts), without any approval, assignment of rights or
|
| | |
Fannie Mae 2019 Form 10-K | | 11 |
|
| | |
| Business | Conservatorship, Treasury Agreements and Housing Finance Reform |
consent of any party. However, mortgage loans and mortgage-related assets that have been transferred to a Fannie Mae MBS trust must be held by the conservator for the beneficial owners of the Fannie Mae MBS and cannot be used to satisfy the general creditors of the company. Neither the conservatorship nor the terms of our agreements with Treasury change our obligation to make required payments on our debt securities or perform under our mortgage guaranty obligations.
Treasury Agreements
On September 7, 2008, we, through FHFA in its capacity as conservator, and Treasury entered into a senior preferred stock purchase agreement, pursuant to which we issued to Treasury one million shares of Variable Liquidation Preference Senior Preferred Stock, Series 2008-2, which we refer to as the “senior preferred stock,” and a warrant to purchase shares of common stock equal to 79.9% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis at the time the warrant is exercised for a nominal price.
The senior preferred stock purchase agreement was amended and restated on September 26, 2008 and was subsequently amended three times: in May 2009, December 2009 and August 2012. In addition, the dividend and liquidation preference provisions of the senior preferred stock were amended in December 2017 and again in September 2019 pursuant to letter agreements between us, through FHFA in its capacity as conservator, and Treasury. In the September 2019 letter agreement, we and Treasury also agreed to negotiate and execute an additional amendment to the senior preferred stock purchase agreement that further enhances taxpayer protections by adopting covenants broadly consistent with recommendations for administrative reform contained in the Treasury plan. In announcing the letter agreement, Treasury noted that subsequent amendments to the senior preferred stock purchase agreement may be appropriate to facilitate the implementation of any eventual recapitalization plan. See “Housing Finance Reform—Treasury Housing Reform Plan” for a discussion of potential approaches to recapitalization discussed in the Treasury plan.
See “Risk Factors” for a description of the risks to our business relating to the senior preferred stock purchase agreement, as well as the adverse effects of the senior preferred stock and the warrant on the rights of holders of our common stock and other series of preferred stock.
Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement
The senior preferred stock purchase agreement provides that, on a quarterly basis, we may draw funds up to the amount, if any, by which our total liabilities exceed our total assets, as reflected in our consolidated balance sheet, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), for the applicable fiscal quarter (referred to as the “deficiency amount”), up to the maximum amount of remaining funding under the agreement. As of the date of this filing, the maximum amount of remaining funding under the agreement is $113.9 billion. If we were to draw additional funds from Treasury under the agreement with respect to a future period, the amount of remaining funding under the agreement would be reduced by the amount of our draw. The senior preferred stock purchase agreement provides that the deficiency amount will be calculated differently if we become subject to receivership or other liquidation process.
The senior preferred stock purchase agreement provides for the payment of an unspecified quarterly commitment fee to Treasury; however, the August 2012 amendment to the agreement provided that this commitment fee will not be set, accrue or be payable, as long as the dividend provisions of the senior preferred stock remain substantially the same in form and content.
Treasury’s funding commitment under the senior preferred stock purchase agreement has no expiration date. The agreement provides that Treasury’s funding commitment will terminate under any of the following circumstances: (1) the completion of our liquidation and fulfillment of Treasury’s obligations under its funding commitment at that time; (2) the payment in full of, or reasonable provision for, all of our liabilities (whether or not contingent, including mortgage guaranty obligations); or (3) the funding by Treasury of the maximum amount that may be funded under the agreement. In addition, Treasury may terminate its funding commitment and declare the agreement null and void if a court vacates, modifies, amends, conditions, enjoins, stays or otherwise affects the appointment of the conservator or otherwise curtails the conservator’s powers. Treasury may not terminate its funding commitment under the agreement solely by reason of our being in conservatorship, receivership or other insolvency proceeding, or due to our financial condition or any adverse change in our financial condition.
In the event of our default on payments with respect to our debt securities or guaranteed Fannie Mae MBS, if Treasury fails to perform its obligations under its funding commitment and if we and/or the conservator are not diligently pursuing remedies with respect to that failure, the agreement provides that any holder of such defaulted debt securities or Fannie Mae MBS may file a claim in the United States Court of Federal Claims for relief requiring Treasury to fund us up to (1) the amount necessary to cure the payment defaults on our debt and Fannie Mae MBS, (2) the deficiency amount, or (3) the amount of remaining funding under the senior preferred stock purchase agreement, whichever is the least. Any payment that Treasury makes under those circumstances will be treated for all purposes as a draw under the agreement that will increase the liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock.
Most provisions of the senior preferred stock purchase agreement may be waived or amended by mutual agreement of the parties; however, no waiver or amendment of the agreement is permitted that would decrease Treasury’s aggregate funding commitment or add conditions to Treasury’s funding commitment if the waiver or amendment would adversely affect in any material respect the holders of our debt securities or guaranteed Fannie Mae MBS.

Senior Preferred Stock
Shares of the senior preferred stock have no par value and have a stated value and initial liquidation preference equal to $1,000 per share, for an aggregate initial liquidation preference of $1.0 billion. Under the terms governing the senior preferred stock, the aggregate liquidation preference is increased by the following:
| |
• | any amounts Treasury pays to us pursuant to its funding commitment under the senior preferred stock purchase agreement (a total of $119.8 billion as of the date of this filing), |
| |
• | any quarterly commitment fees that are payable but not paid in cash (no such fees have become payable, nor will they under the current terms of the senior preferred stock purchase agreement and the senior preferred stock); and |
| |
• | any dividends that are payable but not paid in cash to Treasury, regardless of whether or not they are declared. |
In addition:
| |
• | the December 2017 letter agreement increased the aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock by $3.0 billion as of December 31, 2017; and |
| |
• | the September 2019 letter agreement provides that, beginning on September 30, 2019, and at the end of each fiscal quarter thereafter, the liquidation preference shall be increased by an amount equal to the increase in our net worth, if any, during the immediately prior fiscal quarter, until such time as the liquidation preference has increased by $22 billion pursuant to this provision. |
Accordingly, the aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock was $131.2 billion as of December 31, 2019.
Treasury, as the holder of the senior preferred stock, is entitled to receive, when, as and if declared, out of legally available funds, cumulative quarterly cash dividends. The dividends we have paid to Treasury on the senior preferred stock during conservatorship have been declared by, and paid at the direction of, our conservator, acting as successor to the rights, titles, powers and privileges of the Board of Directors. Dividend payments we make to Treasury do not restore or increase the amount of funding available to us under the senior preferred stock purchase agreement.
The dividend provisions of the senior preferred stock have been amended three times.
| |
• | Original Dividend Rate. As originally issued, the senior preferred stock provided for cumulative quarterly cash dividends at an annual rate of 10% per year on the stock’s then-current liquidation preference. This dividend rate was applicable from the fourth quarter of 2008 through the fourth quarter of 2012. |
| |
• | “Net Worth Sweep” Amendment. As amended in August 2012, the senior preferred stock provides for a “net worth sweep” dividend. For each quarterly dividend period, the dividend amount is the amount, if any, by which our net worth as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter exceeds an applicable capital reserve amount. Our net worth is defined as the amount, if any, by which our total assets (excluding Treasury’s funding commitment and any unfunded amounts related to the commitment) exceed our total liabilities (excluding any obligation in respect of capital stock), in each case as reflected on our balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP. The applicable capital reserve amount was initially $3.0 billion for dividend periods in 2013 and decreased by $600 million each year until it reached $600 million for dividend periods in 2017. These provisions became applicable in the first quarter of 2013 and remain in effect as modified by the December 2017 and September 2019 letter agreements. |
| |
• | December 2017 Amendment. As amended in December 2017, the applicable capital reserve amount was increased to $3.0 billion. The December 2017 letter agreement also reduced by $2.4 billion the dividend amount otherwise payable for the fourth quarter of 2017. |
| |
• | September 2019 Amendment. As amended in September 2019, the applicable capital reserve amount was increased to $25 billion effective for dividend periods beginning July 1, 2019. If we do not declare and pay the dividend amount in full for any dividend period for which dividends are payable, then the applicable capital reserve amount will thereafter be zero. |
As a result of these amended dividend provisions, for each quarterly period beginning with the third quarter of 2019, dividends on the senior preferred stock accumulate and are payable based on the amount by which our net worth as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter exceeds $25 billion. If our net worth does not exceed the applicable capital reserve amount of $25 billion as of the end of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, then dividends will neither accumulate nor be payable for such period.
The senior preferred stock ranks ahead of our common stock and all other outstanding series of our preferred stock, as well as any capital stock we issue in the future, as to both dividends and rights upon liquidation. As a result, if we are liquidated, the holder of the senior preferred stock is entitled to its then-current liquidation preference (which includes any accumulated but unpaid dividends) before any distribution is made to the holders of our common stock or other preferred stock.
The senior preferred stock provides that we may not, at any time, declare or pay dividends on, make distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase or acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any common stock or other securities ranking junior to the senior preferred stock unless (1) full cumulative dividends on the outstanding senior preferred stock (including any unpaid dividends added to the liquidation preference) have been declared and paid in cash, and (2) all amounts
