MCLEAN, VA--(Marketwired - Dec 29, 2016) - Freddie Mac (
Introduced in May 2016, SCR Notes are unsecured and unguaranteed corporate bonds that build on the company's successful multifamily securities offerings and single-family Structured Agency Credit Risk® debt notes, and reduce taxpayers' exposure to mortgage default risk. With SCR Notes, the first-loss credit risk of a specified pool of mortgages is transferred to private capital markets credit investors. Freddie Mac retains the senior loss credit risk.
SCR Notes Series 2016-MDN2 Pricing
The $43.1 million SCR Notes Series 2016-MDN2, Class B, is linked to the credit and principal payment risk of a reference pool of multifamily mortgage loans backing state and local housing finance agency tax-exempt bonds for which Freddie Mac provides credit enhancement. The SCR Notes are not backed or secured by the reference pool itself. Wells Fargo is the sole structuring agent, lead manager and sole bookrunner. Systima Capital Management is the sole investor for the issued notes.
The amount of periodic principal and ultimate principal paid by Freddie Mac is determined by the performance of the reference pool consisting of approximately 68 multifamily mortgage loans originated between 1999 and 2016 with an approximate unpaid principal balance of $863 million. The mortgage loans were primarily funded by the issuance of targeted affordable rental housing tax-exempt bonds guaranteed by Freddie Mac. The loans adhere to Freddie Mac's underwriting, internal fraud prevention and quality control standards.
