Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On April 20, 2009, Fannie Mae (formally, the Federal National Mortgage Association) announced that Michael J. Williams had been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer of the company. Effective April 21, 2009, Mr. Williams succeeded Herbert M. Allison, Jr., who resigned as of that date as the company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and as a member of its Board of Directors, following his nomination for the position of Assistant Secretary for Financial Stability and Counselor to the Secretary at the U.S. Department of Treasury.

With his appointment as Fannie Mae’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael J. Williams, age 51, succeeded to all of the authority, duties and responsibilities previously delegated to Mr. Allison by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, in its capacity as conservator of Fannie Mae, and by the company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Williams also replaced Mr. Allison as a member of the Board of Directors of Fannie Mae, effective April 21, 2009.

Prior to this appointment, Mr. Williams had been serving as Fannie Mae’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer since November 2005, and that position will remain vacant until a successor is appointed. Mr. Williams previously served as Fannie Mae’s Executive Vice President for Regulatory Agreements and Restatement from February to November 2005 and, from July 2000 to February 2005, as President—Fannie Mae eBusiness and as Senior Vice President—e-commerce from July 1999 to July 2000. Prior to that time, Mr. Williams served in various roles in the Single-Family and Corporate Information Systems divisions of Fannie Mae. Mr. Williams joined Fannie Mae in 1991.

There have been no changes to Mr. Williams’ compensation from the description contained in Fannie Mae’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
