Fannie Mae Shareholders To Preserve Value

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shareholders are organizing to form a lobbying group to build a presence in Washington. Prior to the companies entering conservatorship in September 2008, both companies had employees responsible for government relations. As part of conservatorship, the companies had to eliminate their lobbying activities. Now, the companies effectively have no voice in Washington.

If you or your organization own common or preferred stock of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and would like to join with other shareholders in preserving value for the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, please contact me at derek.pilecki@gatorcapital.com or call me at (813) 282-7870. We are organizing and are going to help policymakers in Washington understand the importance of the GSEs to the nation’s housing market. We hope to maximize value for GSE preferred shareholders and common shareholders.
