FREDDIE MAC ANNOUNCES VOLUNTARY DELISTING FROM NYSE ARCA
McLean, VA – Freddie Mac (NYSE: FRE), today announced that it will voluntarily withdraw its common stock from listing on NYSE Arca, Inc., formerly the Pacific Exchange. Freddie Mac common stock will continue to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The decision to voluntarily withdraw listing from NYSE Arca, Inc. was made to eliminate duplicative administrative requirements inherent with dual listings as a result of the NYSE Group’s recent merger with Archipelago Holdings, the parent company of NYSE Arca. NYSE Arca will continue trading Freddie Mac common stock on an unlisted trading privilege basis. Freddie Mac is a stockholder-owned company established by Congress in 1970 to support homeownership and rental housing. Freddie Mac fulfills its mission by purchasing residential mortgages and mortgage-related securities, which it finances primarily by issuing mortgage-related securities and debt instruments in the capital markets. Over the years, Freddie Mac has made home possible for one in six homebuyers and more than four million renters in America. ###
