MCLEAN, VA--(Marketwired - Oct 7, 2015) - The following statement was released today by Donna Corley, Senior Vice President - Division Chief Risk Office of the Single Family Division at Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC):

"At the direction of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae today released a uniform framework for representations and warranties remedies. The new framework reflects Freddie Mac's long-standing commitment to partner with lenders to improve loan manufacturing, a goal we share with all of our customers. The framework announced today will not affect our customers' operations or our full file quality control reviews for performing and non-performing loans. The enhanced framework is intended to provide more clarity and transparency to lenders who do business with Freddie Mac on identifying and correcting origination defects, and the remedies that are available to them. Today's announcement also underscores Freddie Mac's commitment to work with the Federal Housing Finance Agency and other stakeholders to continually improve America's mortgage finance system."
