/ -- Freddie Mac (OTC: FMCC) announced today that it plans to issue a new Mortgage-Linked Amortizing Notes security.  The offering will be priced on Friday, January 13, 2012, and settle on Tuesday, January 17, 2012.

Freddie Mac Mortgage-Linked Amortizing Notes (MLANs) are senior unsecured debt obligations that have cash flows that mimic the principal payments of referenced agency mortgage-related securities held in Freddie Mac's Mortgage-Related Investments Portfolio.  The mortgage-related security referenced by MLANs may be a specific Freddie Mac Giant, Participation Certificate (PC), a combination of PCs or REMIC tranches, or any other agency mortgage-related security.

Monthly payments on a MLAN will consist of principal payments and interest payments.  The principal payments will be based on the monthly publicly disclosed factor of the referenced mortgage-related security while the interest payments will accrue and be paid at a fixed rate.  MLANs will have a maturity date shorter than the stated maturity date of the referenced mortgage-related security.  A MLAN security is non-callable by Freddie Mac but may be retired earlier than its maturity date if the referenced mortgage-related security repays principal at a rapid rate due to prepayments.

The security is being offered by Goldman, Sachs & Co., with co-managers Credit Suisse and J.P. Morgan Chase.
