INFORMATION STATEMENT
AND
ANNUAL REPORT TO STOCKHOLDERS
For the Ñscal year ended December 31, 2004
Freddie Mac is a stockholder-owned, government-sponsored enterprise, or GSE, established by Congress
to provide a continuous Öow of funds for residential mortgages. We perform this function primarily by buying
and guaranteeing residential mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities, which we Ñnance by issuing
mortgage-related securities, debt securities and equity securities. Our securities are not required to be
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and we are not currently
required to Ñle periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act.
However, we are committed to the voluntary registration of our common stock under the Exchange Act,
which we expect to complete after we return to timely Ñnancial reporting. We alone are responsible for making
payments on our securities. Neither the U.S. nor any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. other than Freddie
Mac is obligated to fund our mortgage purchase or Ñnancing activities or to guarantee our securities or other
obligations.
The publication of this Information Statement and Annual Report, or Information Statement, has been
delayed as a result of the ongoing controls remediation and systems re-engineering and development necessary
to return to timely Ñnancial reporting following the previous revision and restatement of our Ñnancial results
for 2002, 2001 and 2000. For more details, see ""EXPLANATORY NOTE.''
