Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. |
On May 8, 2008, Fannie Mae (formally known as the
Federal National Mortgage Association) agreed to
sell 94,300,000 shares of its common stock and 51,750,000 shares of 8.75% Non-Cumulative Mandatory
Convertible Preferred Stock, Series 2008-1 (the “Series 2008-1 Preferred Stock”) in two separate offerings.
The common stock was sold
through a
syndicate of underwriters led by Lehman Brothers Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. The Series 2008-1
Preferred Stock was sold through a syndicate of underwriters led by J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Lehman Brothers Inc. and Banc of America
Securities LLC.
The initial
public offering price for the common stock was $27.50 per share, with the aggregate total proceeds to Fannie
Mae for the offering of common stock (after application of the underwriting discount of $0.6875 per
share or $64,831,250 in total, and exclusive of the expenses of the offering and any advisory fees)
being $2,528,418,750. The initial public offering price for the Series 2008-1
Preferred Stock was $50 per share, with the aggregate total proceeds to Fannie Mae for the offering of the
Series 2008-1 Preferred Stock (after application of the underwriting discount of $1.25 per share or
$64,687,500 in total, and exclusive of the expenses of the offering and any advisory fees) being $2,522,812,500.
Shares of Series 2008-1 Preferred Stock have no par value and have a stated value and liquidation
preference of $50 per share. Holders of the Series 2008-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive
non-cumulative quarterly cash dividends when, as and if declared by Fannie Mae’s Board of Directors
or an authorized committee thereof, at an annual rate of 8.75%. The initial dividend, if declared,
will be $1.6528 per share and will be payable on September 30, 2008. Thereafter, if declared, quarterly dividends
will be $1.09375 per share for each complete quarterly dividend period. The dividend for the final dividend period
prior to mandatory conversion (for the period from and including March 31, 2011 to but excluding May 13, 2011),
if declared, will be $0.5104 per share. Shares of Series 2008-1
Preferred Stock rank on a parity with other shares of Fannie Mae’s outstanding preferred stock as
to dividends and rights upon liquidation.
Each Share of the Series 2008-1 Preferred Stock will
automatically convert on May 13, 2011, into between 1.5408 shares and 1.8182 shares of Fannie Mae
common stock depending on the market price of the common stock at that time. At any time prior to May 13, 2011, at the election of the holder, each share of the
Series 2008-1 Preferred Stock may be converted into 1.5408 shares of Fannie Mae common stock. In
certain circumstances, the conversion rates for the Series 2008-1 Preferred Stock will be subject
to anti-dilution adjustments.
The preceding summary of the terms of the Series 2008-1 Preferred Stock is qualified in its
entirety by the Certificate of Designation of Terms of 8.75% Non-Cumulative Mandatory Convertible
Preferred Stock, Series 2008-1, a copy of which is filed with this report as Exhibit 4.1 and
incorporated herein by reference.
The issuance and sale of the common stock and the
Series 2008-1 Preferred Stock each closed on May 14, 2008.
Pursuant to the Charter Act, the shares of common stock and Series 2008-1 Preferred Stock (and all
shares of Fannie Mae preferred stock) are “exempted securities” within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other laws administered by the SEC, to the same extent as
securities that are obligations of, or are guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the United
States. As a result, Fannie Mae does not file registration statements with the SEC with respect to
its offerings.
