Freddie Mac Prices Approximately $230 Million SLST Securitization
MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) announced today the pricing of the second Seasoned Loans Structured Transaction Trust (SLST) offering of 2022 -- a securitization of approximately $230 million including both guaranteed senior and non-guaranteed subordinate securities backed by a pool of seasoned residential mortgage loans. The SLST program is a fundamental part of Freddie Mac's seasoned loan offerings which reduce less-liquid assets in its mortgage-related investments portfolio and shed credit and market risk via economically reasonable transactions.
Freddie Mac SLST Series 2022-2 includes approximately $201 million in guaranteed senior certificates and approximately $29 million in non-guaranteed subordinate certificates. The right to purchase the subordinate certificates was awarded on October 20 via an auction. The transaction is expected to settle on October 31, 2022.
The underlying collateral backing the certificates consists of 1,326 fixed-, adjustable-, and step-rate seasoned loans, and includes both loans modified to assist borrowers at risk of foreclosure and loans that were never modified. As of the Cutoff Date, none of the loans are more than 150 days delinquent.
The loans are currently serviced by Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. and Nationstar Mortgage LLC d/b/a RightPath Servicing in accordance with that, in the event of default, prioritize borrower retention options in the event of default and promote neighborhood stability.
Advisors to this transaction are Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as co-lead managers and joint bookrunners, and Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. and R. Seelaus & Co., LLC (a woman-owned business) as the co-managers.
To date, Freddie Mac has sold almost $9.7 billion of Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) and securitized approximately $76 billion of RPLs consisting of $30 billion of fully guaranteed PCs, $34 billion of SCRT senior/sub securitizations, and almost $12 billion of Seasoned Loans Structured Transaction (SLST) offerings.
