The company expects to offer approximately $1.1 billion in K Certificates (“K-020 Certificates”), which are expected to price the week of September 4, 2012, and settle on or about September 25, 2012. This is Freddie Mac’s eleventh K Certificate offering this year.
The K-020 Certificates are backed by 77 recently originated multifamily mortgages and are guaranteed by Freddie Mac. The K–020 Certificates will be offered to the market by a syndicate led by Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as co-lead managers and joint bookrunners.
