Freddie Mac Issues 2009 Funding Calendars

McLean, VA – Freddie Mac (NYSE: FRE) today issued its 2009 funding calendars, which provide optional announcement dates for Reference Notes® securities, potential issuance weeks for Reference REMIC® securities and announcement and auction dates for Reference Bills® securities. The 2009 funding calendars are available on the Debt and Mortgage Securities pages of the company's Web site at www.FreddieMac.com.

On the Reference Notes announcement dates set forth on Freddie Mac's 2009 Reference Notes and Reference REMIC Calendar, Freddie Mac will announce whether it plans to issue a Reference Notes security. If a Reference Notes security will be issued, Freddie Mac will also provide relevant transaction information.

Freddie Mac's Reference Notes and Reference REMIC Calendar also includes optional monthly issuance windows for Reference REMIC securities. Issuance of Reference REMIC securities will be subject to market conditions, including the availability of collateral and investor interest. On the first business day of each month, Freddie Mac will announce whether it plans to use the optional issuance window, and when relevant, confirm the timing of when it expects to issue a Reference REMIC security.

Freddie Mac's 2009 Reference Bills Calendar provides announcement and auction dates for one-, three-, six- and 12-month Reference Bills securities. One-month Reference Bills auctions will be optional each week, with a minimum of one auction per month. Three- and six-month Reference Bills will be auctioned every week. Auctions of 12-month Reference Bills securities will be optional each week. During the year, Freddie Mac will auction all one-, three-, six- and 12-month Reference Bills securities on Mondays unless Monday is a holiday. If Monday is a holiday, the auction will occur on Tuesday. Reference Bills auction announcements occur at 10:30 a.m., Eastern Time, on Fridays.

The announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation to buy any of these securities. Any such offering will be made by an offering circular and pricing supplement.
