Freddie Mac Prices Approximately $564 Million Securitization of Re-Performing Loans

MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today announced pricing of the third Seasoned Credit Risk Transfer Trust (SCRT) offering of 2021—a securitization of approximately $564 million including both guaranteed senior and unguaranteed subordinate securities backed by a pool of seasoned re-performing loans (RPLs). The SCRT securitization program is a fundamental part of Freddie Mac's seasoned loan offerings which reduce less liquid assets in its mortgage-related investments portfolio and shed credit and market risk via economically reasonable transactions.

Freddie Mac Seasoned Credit Risk Transfer Trust, Series 2021-3 includes approximately $522 million in guaranteed senior certificates and approximately $42 million in unguaranteed mezzanine and subordinate certificates. The mezzanine certificates will be rated. The transaction is expected to settle on October 14, 2021. The underlying collateral consists of 3,738 fixed-, step-, and adjustable-rate, never modified and modified seasoned RPLs, which were modified to assist borrowers who were at risk of foreclosure to help them keep their homes. Consistent with SCRT program criteria, as of the cut-off date, all the mortgage loans have been performing and have not been delinquent for at least the prior six months using the MBA method of calculation.

The loans are serviced by NewRez LLC, d/b/a Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing and Community Loan Servicing, LLC and will be serviced in accordance with requirements that in the event of default, prioritize borrower retention options and promote neighborhood stability.

Advisors to this transaction are Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as co-lead managers and joint bookrunners, and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BofA Securities, Inc, StoneX Financial Inc., and Loop Capital Markets LLC as the co-managers.
