Includes Extended Timeline Pool Offering Targeting Smaller Investors

MCLEAN, Va., March 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) announced today it will offer approximately $120 million in non-performing loans (NPL) for sale via auction. The NPLs being offered consist of seasoned, deeply delinquent residential first lien whole loans held in Freddie Mac’s mortgage-related investments portfolio. The NPLs are currently serviced by Specialized Loan Servicing LLC or NewRez LLC, d/b/a Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing.

The NPLs are being marketed via two pools: a Standard Pool Offering (SPO) and an Extended Timeline Pool Offering (EXPO), which targets participation by smaller investors, including non-profits and Minority, Women, Disabled, LGBTQ+, Veteran or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (MWDOBs).

Bids are due from qualified bidders by April 4, 2024 for the SPO pool, and April 25, 2024 for the EXPO pool.

All eligible bidders, including private investors, MWDOBs, non-profits and neighborhood advocacy organizations are encouraged to bid. To participate, all potential bidders must be approved by Freddie Mac and successfully complete a qualification package to access the secure data room containing information about the NPLs and to bid on the NPL pool(s). The bids are to be made on an all-or-none basis for any pool. The winning bidder for each pool will be determined on the basis of the economics of the bids, subject to meeting Freddie Mac’s internal reserve levels, at Freddie Mac’s sole discretion.

Advisors to Freddie Mac on the transaction are BofA Securities, Inc. and First Financial Network, Inc., a woman-owned business.
