WASHINGTON, December 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Fannie Mae (OTC Bulletin Board: FNMA) priced its eighth Multifamily DUS REMIC in 2011 totaling $513 million under its Fannie Mae Guaranteed Multifamily Structures (Fannie Mae GeMS™) program on December 13, 2011.

"The pricing of this deal punctuates a strong year for our Fannie Mae GeMS program. There was renewed interest in floaters, and investors still had cash to put to work heading into year end, so we saw some particularly large orders for 11-M9. GeMS issuance volume was $6 billion this year, surpassing last year. Since 2010, Fannie Mae has issued 15 MF REMIC deals, and I expect that volumes will continue to increase in 2012, as demand for Agency CMBS remains elevated," said Kimberly Johnson, Vice President of Multifamily Capital Markets.

All classes of FNA 2011-M9 are guaranteed by Fannie Mae with respect to the full and timely payment of interest and principal. Yield maintenance prepayment premiums apply to all underlying loans. The structure details for the multi-tranche offering are included in the table below.
