Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 16, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, announced that it and Fannie Mae (formally known as the Federal National Mortgage Association) entered into a non-prosecution agreement arising out of an investigation by the SEC’s Division of Enforcement into possible violations of the federal securities laws by Fannie Mae and others arising from, among other things, disclosures by Fannie Mae prior to its entry into conservatorship in September 2008 concerning Fannie Mae’s exposure to subprime and Alt-A mortgages.
Under the agreement, without admitting or denying liability, Fannie Mae has offered to accept responsibility for its conduct and to not dispute, contest or contradict a set of factual statements regarding the disclosures, except in legal proceedings to which the SEC is not a party. Fannie Mae also agreed to cooperate in the SEC’s investigation and related federal proceedings.
Subject to Fannie Mae’s full, truthful and continuing cooperation and compliance by Fannie Mae with its obligations under the agreement, the SEC agreed not to bring any enforcement action or proceeding against Fannie Mae arising from the investigation.
