Information about Certain Securities Issuances by Fannie Mae
Pursuant to SEC regulations, public companies are required to disclose certain information when they incur a
material direct financial obligation or become directly or contingently liable for a material obligation under an
off-balance sheet arrangement. The disclosure must be made on a current report on Form 8-K under Item 2.03
or, if the obligation is incurred in connection with certain types of securities offerings, in prospectuses for that
offering that are filed with the SEC.
Fannie Mae’s securities offerings are exempted from SEC registration requirements. As a result, we are not
required to and do not file registration statements or prospectuses with the SEC with respect to our securities
offerings. To comply with the disclosure requirements of Form 8-K relating to the incurrence of material
financial obligations, we report our incurrence of these types of material obligations either in offering circulars
or prospectuses (or supplements thereto) that we post on our Web site or in a current report on Form 8-K, in
accordance with a “no-action” letter we received from the SEC Staff. In cases where the information is
disclosed in a prospectus or offering circular posted on our Web site, the document will be posted on our Web
site within the same time period that a prospectus for a non-exempt securities offering would be required to be
filed with the SEC.
The Web site address for disclosure about our debt securities is www.fanniemae.com/debtsearch. From this
address, investors can access the offering circular and related supplements for debt securities offerings under
Fannie Mae’s universal debt facility, including pricing supplements for individual issuances of debt securities.
Disclosure about our off-balance sheet obligations pursuant to some of the MBS we issue can be found at
www.fanniemae.com/mbsdisclosure. From this address, investors can access information and documents about
our MBS, including prospectuses and related prospectus supplements.
We are providing our Web site addresses and the Web site address of the SEC solely for your information.
Information appearing on our Web site or on the SEC’s Web site is not incorporated into this annual report on
Form 10-K.
