Freddie Mac Announces Largest Single Loan Multifamily K-Deal Backed by Park La Brea Apartments

MCLEAN, VA--(Marketwired - Jun 16, 2015) - Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) recently announced a new offering of Structured Pass-Through Certificates ("K Certificates") which are multifamily mortgage-backed securities. The company expects to issue approximately $812 million in K Certificates (K-PLB Certificates), which are backed by Los Angeles' historic Park La Brea, the largest apartment community on the West Coast. The K-PLB Certificates are expected to price on or about June 17, 2015, and settle on or about June 26, 2015. This is the company's twelfth K Certificates offering this year.

"We are very proud to announce our largest single loan securitization," said Mitchell Resnick, vice president of Freddie Mac Multifamily Capital Markets. "Park La Brea Apartments is a prime example of the type of workforce housing Freddie Mac Multifamily is committed to financing."

The 4,245-unit, 144-acre property is rent-controlled, with below market rents in approximately 10 percent of the units. The community has 18 high-rise towers, 175 garden-style apartment buildings and 10,000 residents.

The K-PLB Certificates will be offered to the market by a syndicate of dealers led by Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as co-lead managers and joint bookrunners. Guggenheim Securities, LLC, Jefferies LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC will serve as co-managers.

The K-PLB Certificates will not be rated, and include one senior principal and interest class and one interest only class. The K-PLB Certificates are backed by corresponding classes issued by the FREMF 2015-KPLB Mortgage Trust (K-PLB Trust) and are guaranteed by Freddie Mac. The K-PLB Trust will also issue certificates consisting of the Class B and R Certificates, which will be subordinate to the classes backing the K-PLB Certificates. The K-PLB Trust Class B and R Certificates will not be guaranteed by Freddie Mac.
