Freddie Mac announces its intent to sell its sixth offering this year of STACR® debt notes
OREANDA-NEWS. Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) announces its intent to sell its sixth offering this year of Structured Agency Credit Risk (STACR®) debt notes, pending market conditions. Through the award-winning and innovative STACR program, Freddie Mac transfers a significant portion of the mortgage credit risk on certain single-family loans to private capital market investors.
BofA Merrill Lynch and Goldman, Sachs & Co. will serve as co-lead managers and joint bookrunners.
With the STACR 2016-HQA3 offering of loans with LTVs ranging from 80 to 95 percent, Freddie Mac holds the senior loss risk in the capital structure and a portion of the risk in the Class M-1, M-2 and M-3 tranches, and the first loss Class B tranche.
STACR 2016-HQA3 has a reference pool of single-family mortgages with an unpaid principal balance of more than $15.7 billion. The reference pool consists of a subset of 30-year fixed-rate single-family mortgages acquired by Freddie Mac.
Freddie Mac has led the market in introducing new credit risk-sharing initiatives with STACR, Agency Credit Insurance Structure (ACIS®) and Whole Loan Securities (WLS(SM)), and was the first agency to market these types of credit risk transfer transactions. The company has since grown its investor base to more than 200 unique investors, including insurers and reinsurers. Since 2013, the company has transferred a significant portion of credit risk on approximately $527 billion of UPB on single-family mortgages. Additional information about the company's single-family risk sharing offerings is available at http://www.freddiemac.com/creditriskofferings/. Freddie Mac also has a STACR issuance calendar to help investors plan their allocations.

Offers for any given security are made only through applicable offering circulars and related supplements, which incorporate Freddie Mac's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 18, 2016; all other reports Freddie Mac filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) since December 31, 2015, excluding any information furnished to the SEC on Form 8-K; and all documents that Freddie Mac files with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c) or 14 of the Exchange Act, excluding any information furnished to the SEC on Form 8-K.
