MCLEAN, VA--(Marketwired - Mar 4, 2015) - Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today announced a new offering of Structured Pass-Through Certificates ("K Certificates"), which are multifamily mortgage-backed securities. The company expects to issue approximately $734.5 million in K Certificates ("K-KA Certificates"), which are primarily backed by student housing properties owned by funds managed by Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors, LLC. The K-KA Certificates are expected to price the week of March 2, 2015, and settle on or about March 18, 2015. This is Freddie Mac's fourth K Certificate offering and its second single sponsor K-deal this year.
The K-KA Certificates are backed by 17 recently-originated multifamily mortgages and are guaranteed by Freddie Mac. The K-KA Certificates will be offered to the market by a syndicate of dealers led by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as co-lead managers and joint bookrunners. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Stern Brothers & Co. will serve as co-managers.
The K-KA Certificates will not be rated and include one senior principal and interest class and one interest only class.

The K-KA Trust will also issue Class B Certificates, which will be subordinate to the classes backing the K-KA Certificates. The K-KA Trust Class B and R Certificates will not be guaranteed by Freddie Mac.
