History and Business of Company
(this information may include date of incorporation)
At Fannie Mae (formally, the Federal National Mortgage Association), our purpose is to facilitate the flow of low-cost mortgage capital in order to increase the availability and affordability of homeownership for low-, moderate-, and middle-income Americans. We are an instrument of national housing policy, originally established in 1938 as a U.S. government entity, and we currently operate under a federal charter. Our primary regulator is the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight ("OFHEO"). However, we are a private, shareholder-owned company. We became a shareholder-owned company by legislation enacted in 1968, which we refer to as the "Charter Act" (the Federal National Mortgage Association Charter Act, 12 U.S.C. §1716 et seq.). Our common stock is traded primarily on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "FNM." The U.S. government does not guarantee, directly or indirectly, Fannie Mae's securities or other obligations.

Fannie Mae is the nation's largest source of funds for mortgage lenders, providing resources for our customers to make additional mortgage loans or investments in mortgage-related securities. We provide liquidity to the mortgage market for the benefit of borrowers; however, we do not lend money directly to consumers. We operate exclusively in the secondary mortgage market by purchasing mortgages and mortgage-related securities, including mortgage-related securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae, from primary market institutions, such as commercial banks, savings and loan associations, mortgage companies, securities dealers and other investors. We provide additional liquidity in the secondary mortgage market by issuing and guaranteeing mortgage-related securities.

Fannie Mae expands equal housing access and opportunity in America by helping our lender customers reach the nation's underserved families and communities. In 1994, we launched our Trillion Dollar Commitment to provide $1 trillion in home financing for 10 million families traditionally underserved by mainstream mortgage finance. After achieving that goal ahead of plan, in 2000 Fannie Mae announced a new, redoubled affordable housing plan, our $2 trillion American Dream Commitment(r), to serve 18 million underserved families by 2010. Having met that goal, Fannie Mae announced in January 2004 the next stage of the American Dream Commitment.

Working closely with our partners (including lenders, mortgage insurers, non-profit organizations, home builders, housing finance agencies, and other federal, state, and local government partners), Fannie Mae has set goals of expanding access to homeownership for millions of first-time home buyers and helping to raise the minority homeownership rate to 55 percent, by creating 6 million new homeowners, including 1.8 million new minority homeowners by 2014. Steps Fannie Mae has outlined to achieve these goals include applying technology to lower the costs of mortgage originations and expand access to mortgage credit; building stronger partnerships with those who serve as trusted advisors to first-time home buyers; adapting products and processes that build upon public sector assistance to potential home buyers; and working to transform manufactured housing lending.

Debt, equity and MBS securities we issue are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and are "exempted securities" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In July 2002, we announced a voluntary initiative to register our common stock, without par value, with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The registration of our common stock became effective on March 31, 2003. Registration of our common stock does not impact the exempt status of debt, equity and MBS securities we issue.

We file reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). You may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy statements, and other information that we file with the SEC. You may also inspect our SEC reports and other information at the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., 20 Broad Street, New York, NY 10005 or obtain them, free of charge, from our website at http://www.fanniemae.com. We are providing the addresses of the SEC's and our Internet sites solely for the information of investors. We do not intend the Internet addresses to be active links.
