MCLEAN, Va., Sept. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Freddie Mac ( FMCC) announced today the pricing of its second Seasoned Credit Risk Transfer Trust (SCRT) offering of 2024—a securitization of approximately $658 million including both guaranteed senior and non-guaranteed subordinate securities backed by a pool of seasoned re-performing loans (RPLs). The SCRT 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 Seasoned Credit Risk Transfer Trust, Series 2024-2 includes approximately $625 million in guaranteed senior certificates and $33 million in non-guaranteed mezzanine and subordinate certificates. The transaction is expected to settle on September 13, 2024. The underlying collateral consists of 3,762 seasoned fixed-, step-, and adjustable-rate RPLs, and includes both loans that were modified to assist borrowers at risk of foreclosure and loans that were never modified. All of the Mortgage Loans are current as of the Cut-Off Date.
The Mortgage Loans will be serviced by Newrez LLC, d/b/a/ Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing and will be serviced in accordance with requirements that, in the event of default, prioritize borrower retention options 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 co-managers.
To date, Freddie Mac has sold over $10.3 billion of Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) and securitized approximately $78.6 billion of RPLs consisting of over $30.4 billion of fully guaranteed PCs, $35.5 billion of SCRT senior/sub securities, and $12.7 billion of Seasoned Loans Structured Transaction (SLST) securities.
