Conservatorship, Preferred Stock Agreements, And Related Parties [Abstract]  
Summary Of Stock Purchase Agreement The senior preferred stock purchase agreement and accompanying stock certificate as amended to date include key
provisions that impact us, including those described in the table below. For a discussion of the current terms of the
senior preferred stock related to dividends, liquidation preference, and limits on redemptions and paydowns, see “Note
12, Equity.”
Treasury Funding
Commitment
On a quarterly basis, we may draw funds from Treasury to cover the amount that our total
liabilities exceed our total assets for the applicable fiscal quarter (referred to as the
“deficiency amount”), up to the amount of remaining funding commitment under the
agreement.
As of the date of this filing:
$119.8 billion has been paid to us by Treasury under this funding commitment; and
$113.9 billion of funding commitment from Treasury remains; this amount would be
reduced by any future payments by Treasury under the commitment.
Termination
Provisions for
Funding
Commitment
Treasury’s funding commitment has no specified end date, but will terminate upon:
our liquidation and the fulfillment of Treasury’s obligations under its funding commitment;
the payment in full of, or reasonable provision for, our liabilities (whether or not contingent,
including guaranty obligations); or
Treasury funding the maximum amount under the agreement.
Treasury also may terminate its funding commitment and void the agreement if a court
vacates, modifies, amends, conditions, enjoins, stays or otherwise affects the appointment
of the conservator or curtails the conservator’s powers.
Rights of Debt
and MBS Holders
Holders of our debt securities or our guaranteed MBS may file a claim in the United States
Court of Federal Claims for relief if we default on our payment obligations on those
securities and:
we and the conservator fail to exercise all rights under the agreement to draw on
Treasury’s funding commitment, or
Treasury fails to perform its obligations under its funding commitment and we and/or the
conservator are not diligently pursuing remedies for Treasury’s failure.
Holders may seek to require Treasury to fund us up to:
the amount necessary to cure the relevant payment defaults;
the deficiency amount; or
the amount of remaining funding under the agreement, whichever is the least.
Any Treasury funding provided under these circumstances would increase the liquidation
preference of the senior preferred stock.
The terms of the agreement generally may be amended or waived; however, no such
amendment or waiver may decrease Treasury’s aggregate funding commitment or add
conditions to Treasury’s funding commitment that would adversely affect in any material
respect the holders of our debt or guaranteed MBS.
Commitment Fee
The agreement provides for the payment of an unspecified quarterly commitment fee to
Treasury to compensate it for its ongoing support under the agreement.
The agreement also provides that:
Until the capital reserve end date, the periodic commitment fee will not be set, accrue, or
be payable. The capital reserve end date is defined as the last day of the second
consecutive fiscal quarter during which we have had and maintained capital equal to or
exceeding the capital requirements and buffers set forth in the enterprise regulatory
capital framework.
No later than the capital reserve end date, we and Treasury, in consultation with the Chair
of the Federal Reserve, will agree on the amount of the periodic commitment fee.
The senior preferred stock purchase agreement contains covenants that prohibit us (and, in one instance, FHFA) from
taking several actions without the prior written consent of Treasury or require us to take specified actions, including the
following described in the table below:
Dividends and
Share
Repurchases
We may not pay dividends or make other distributions on or repurchase our equity securities
(other than the senior preferred stock).
Issuances of
Equity Securities
We may not issue equity securities, except for common stock issued:
upon exercise of the warrant;
as required by any pre-conservatorship agreements; and
following the satisfaction of two conditions: (a) the exercise of the warrant in full, and (b)
the resolution of all currently pending significant litigation relating to the conservatorship
and the August 2012 amendment to the senior preferred stock purchase agreement.
Termination of
Conservatorship
Neither we nor FHFA may terminate or seek to terminate the conservatorship without the
prior consent of Treasury, other than through a mandatory receivership.
Asset Dispositions
We may not sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any assets, except for dispositions
for fair market value in limited circumstances, including if:
the transaction is in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice; or
the assets have a fair market value individually or in the aggregate of less than
$250 million.
Subordinated
Debt
We may not issue any subordinated debt securities.
Mortgage Assets
Limit
We may not hold mortgage assets in excess of $225 billion.
Indebtedness
Limit
We may not have indebtedness in excess of $270 billion.
Executive
Compensation
We may not enter into any new compensation arrangements or increase amounts or
benefits payable under existing compensation arrangements with any of our executive
officers (as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules) without the
consent of the FHFA Director, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury.
Equitable Access
and Offers for
Single-Family
Mortgage Loans
We may not vary our pricing or acquisition terms for single-family loans based on the
business characteristics of the seller, including the seller’s size, charter type, or volume of
business with us.
We must offer to purchase at all times, for equivalent cash consideration and on
substantially the same terms, any single-family mortgage loan that:
is of a class of loans that we then offer to acquire for inclusion in our MBS or for other non-
cash consideration;
is offered by a seller that has been approved to do business with us; and
has been originated and sold in compliance with our underwriting standards.
Single-Family
Loan Eligibility
Program
We must maintain a program reasonably designed to ensure that the single-family loans we
acquire are limited to:
qualified mortgages, as defined in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (the
“CFPB’s”) ability-to-repay and qualified mortgage rule;
loans exempt from the CFPB’s ability-to-repay and qualified mortgage rule;
loans secured by an investment property;
refinancing loans with streamlined underwriting originated in accordance with our eligibility
criteria for high LTV ratio refinancings;
loans originated with temporary underwriting flexibilities during times of exigent
circumstances, as determined in consultation with FHFA;
loans secured by manufactured housing; and
such other loans that FHFA may designate that were eligible for purchase by us as of
January 2021. In 2021, FHFA notified us that we are permitted to continue to acquire any
government loan that would have been eligible for acquisition by us as of January 2021.
Enterprise
Regulatory
Capital
Framework
We are required to comply with the enterprise regulatory capital framework rule as amended
from time to time.
Risk Management
Plan
While in conservatorship, we must provide an annual risk management plan to Treasury.
Schedule of Related Party Transactions Recurring transactions with our related parties are described below:

Treasury
Temporary Payroll
Tax Cut Continuation
Act of 2011 (“TCCA”)
Under the TCCA, we have an obligation to collect 10 basis points in
guaranty fees on single-family mortgages delivered to us and pay the
associated revenue to Treasury. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs
Act was enacted in November 2021 and extended our obligation under the
TCCA to October 1, 2032. In January 2022, FHFA advised us to continue
to collect and pay these TCCA fees on and after October 1, 2032 with
respect to loans we acquired before this date until those loans are paid off
or otherwise liquidated.
Capital Magnet Fund
The GSE Act requires us to set aside funding obligations for Treasury’s
Capital Magnet Fund. These funding obligations are measured as the
product of 4.2 basis points and the UPB of our total new business
purchases for the respective period, with 35% of this amount payable to
Treasury’s Capital Magnet Fund.
FHFA
Annual Assessments
under the GSE Act
The GSE Act authorizes FHFA to establish an annual assessment for
regulated entities, including Fannie Mae, for FHFA’s costs and expenses,
as well as to maintain FHFA’s working capital.
Treasury &
Freddie Mac
Making Home
Affordable Program
We served as program administrator for Treasury’s Home Affordable
Modification Program (“HAMP”) and other initiatives under Treasury’s
Making Home Affordable Program. Our role as program administrator
concluded in the third quarter of 2023. We received reimbursements from
Treasury and Freddie Mac for expenses incurred in this role and our final
reimbursement was received in the fourth quarter of 2023.
U.S. FinTech &
Freddie Mac
Equity Investment in
U.S. FinTech
Our investment in U.S. FinTech is accounted for using the equity method.
As a part of our joint ownership, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and U.S.
FinTech are parties to several agreements which set forth the overall
framework for the joint venture and the terms under which U.S. FinTech
provides mortgage securitization services to us and Freddie Mac. U.S.
FinTech 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.
The following table provides the income statement impact of our related party transactions for the periods presented in
addition to the associated liability at period end. The associated liability represents amounts accrued with respect to the
related party transactions that have not yet been paid to the applicable related parties. In addition to the impact
described in the table below, our equity investment in U.S. FinTech is classified as “Other assets” in our consolidated
balance sheets. We contributed $82 million and $68 million to U.S. FinTech for the years ended December 31, 2025 and
2024, respectively.
