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

On August 6, 2013, Freddie Mac (formally known as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation), issued a press release announcing that Saiyid T. Naqvi has been elected to Freddie Mac’s Board of Directors (the Board), effective as of that date. Naqvi will serve on the Business and Risk Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board.

A copy of this press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Naqvi, age 63, has a national reputation as a seasoned financial executive with proven leadership experience and detailed knowledge of mortgage and consumer financial operations. Naqvi brings to the Board a deep background in risk and operational management.

Naqvi led PNC Mortgage Corporation of America as president and chief executive officer between 1995 and 2001, when PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. sold off its mortgage business. In 2009, Naqvi returned to supervise the bank’s integration of National City Mortgage Company and to head the newly constituted PNC Mortgage as president and chief executive officer. PNC Mortgage operates as a division of PNC Bank, National Association, which is a subsidiary of PNC Financial Services Group. Until his departure in April 2013, Naqvi was responsible for management of PNC Mortgage’s $121 billion portfolio and national network of 91 retail mortgage offices. Between 2001 and 2009, he held a number of leadership positions, including president of Harley-Davidson Financial Services, Inc., chief executive officer of DeepGreen Financial, Inc., and president and chief financial officer of Setara Corporation.

Naqvi served on the board of Genworth Financial, Inc., an insurance holding company, from 2005-2009, where he was a member of the Audit Committee and the Public Affairs Committee. He was also a director of Hanover Capital Mortgage Holdings, Inc., a real estate investment trust, from 1998-2003.

Naqvi will receive compensation as a non-executive director of Freddie Mac as described in the Report on Form 8-K filed by Freddie Mac on December 23, 2008 and the Board Compensation Schedule attached as Exhibit 10.1 thereto, which Exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.
