FNMA Timeline

Government spends $188bn to bail out FNMA in exchange for senior preferred stock offering a 10% dividend

Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) puts FNMA under conservatorship

2008:

Financial Crisis

2012: Government

amends agreement

Current: Ongoing litigation

Future: shareholders

win/lose

FNMA unexpectedly returns to profitability

US Government forgoes previous dividend policy and lays claim to all FNMA profits effectively shutting off equity holders from future earnings

Shareholders file lawsuits against the US Government alleging the Treasury acted illegally when it amended the terms of FNMA’s deal with the government

There are two possible outcomes for FNMA’s shareholders as value is derived from future legislation, not FNMA’s core business

Arg

um

ent

Sup

po

rt

The Treasury’s 2012 amendment to the SPS agreement is illegal under the Takings Clause of the 5th

Amendment and is an abuse of power as a conservator

As FNMA is a GSE and the FHFA is its appointed conservator, FHFA has unrestricted control over the company to impose any changes to the SPS agreement

HERA and FDIA Language

“The Conservator’s duty is to operate, rehabilitate, reorganize, and restore the health of the troubled institution. When that is achieved, the conservatorship is terminated,

and the institution is returned to the private sector.” – §1145, HERA (2008)

FHFA & Treasury Argument:

Like §11 of the FDIA, §1145 of HERA

says the conservator has a higher power than any and all stakeholders in

the business

This sounds like property rights of

stakeholders are wiped out under

conservatorship; however…

power as an appointed conservator.

Precedent Case

O’Melveney & Myers v. FDIC (1994)

American Diversified Savings Bank (ADSB) shareholders in conflict with conservator

The FDIC believes its fiduciary duty is to taxpayers, not to ADSB shareholders

Supreme Court rules 9-0 in favor of shareholders

The O’Melveney & Myers v. FDIC case serves as an effective precedent that tells us courts will issue a ruling in favor of FNMA shareholders

Takings law asserts- as it’s currently construed—if the qualitative value of FNMA being wound down is being used as a

reason for winding it down—you still need to provide just compensation for existing stakeholders.

existing Fannie and Freddie common equity holders will never receive any future positive earnings…this commitment would

be material to investors and should be disclosed.

Government Plans for FNMA

1Only if the government wipes out shareholders through legislation means will it be able to shut down FNMA

2A new system would feature several smaller versions of FNMA in which the government would financially back mortgages—not firms.

The government’s plans for FNMA do not impact FNMA’s value unless the government is able to wipe out

private investors.

Circumstances Surrounding Entering

Boards of Fannie and Freddie consented to being put into conservatorship because that would insulate the boards from liability

At the time, the board consented to entering conservatorship on a number of agreements- one of which was that it would remain publicly held so it could emerge from conservatorship as a private company with normal corporate governance structure.

Had the board not consented to entering conservatorship, FHFA did NOT have the statutory authority to force the company in. So turning back on this is highly illegal

FHFA now says they have a responsibility to taxpayers to destroy it– but! HERA and FDIA and Precedent court cases tell us as a conservator, you owe shareholders more than taxpayers

Senior Preferred Stock Agreement

Issued as an initial commitment fee in consideration of the commitment from the treasury to provide funds.

On a quarterly basis, they can draw funds up to the amount, if any, by which their liabilities exceed total assets.

The stock started at 1.0bn liquidation value, but has had mispaymentsof dividends accrue to a total liquidation value of 117.1bn

Used to be 10% dividend but this has changed to an amount based on net worth (total assets – total liabilities) – capital reserve (2.4bn – 600m each year until zero on Jan 1 2018) <- effectively no CF to other ivnestors, this is whats being lawsuited (2012 amendment to the agreement)

They can pay common stock dividends after the senior pref is paid in full with all liquidation pref and dividends

Funding commitment must be terminated in order to fully buyout the treasury

DCF Flaws

We do not believe there is a material variant perspective when pricing the fundamentals of a $300bn secondary mortgage financing giant

Consequently, we believe analyst estimates serve as our best insight into the value of FNMA under normal capital payout structures

Additionally, applying a single WACC for FNMA is inappropriate, as the risk of FNMA is tied to its capital structure-related cash flow considerations, not the core fundamentals of the business.

Why is it mispriced?

Overly Negative Investor SentimentFew people want to be involved with a company that was at the headlines of 2008’s housing meltdown

2008 overshadows the litigation thesis

Unique Risk Appetite RequiredFew investors are willing to invest in something where a 100% loss is possible, ignoring the significant upside.

Litigation AnalysisOur precedent case is not a direct reference to the FHFA-HERA case, as it relates to FDIC-FDIA but given how FHFA-HERA are modeled after FDIC-FDIA we believe it is a perfect precedent case nonetheless.

Housing Industry in Regards to FNMA

As rates rise, lenders will loosen rates and more mortgages will be available on the market

“Since 1999, mortgage purchase applications and all measures of sales activity have actually been higher when mortgage rates were higher.” -Forbes

In 2013, 2.5 million underwater homeowners regained positive equity status thanks to an increase in housing value which strengthens FNMA’s existing portfolio

Why? As default risk in FNMA’s portfolio decreases, FNMA’s investments are more likely to reach maturity

Forecasted market trends do not negatively affect FNMA’s business model

“Frankly, we see that our retail execution, selling individual homes to individual buyers, as still our best execution strategy. So, we will still continue to do the vast bulk of our executions in that way.” –FNMA CEO Timothy Mayopoulus (Q4 2013)
