May 14, 2020

WASHINGTON, DC – May 14, 2020 – Fannie Mae (FNMA/OTCQB) priced its second Green Multifamily DUS® REMIC in 2020 totaling $529.4 million under its Fannie Mae Guaranteed Multifamily Structures (Fannie Mae GeMS™) program on May 12, 2020. FNA 2020-M20 marks the fifth Fannie Mae GeMS issuance of 2020.

“ The 2020-M20 marked our 13th GeMS issuance backed by Green MBS collateral, bringing our total Green GEMS issuance to $10.4 billion – and building off of our $76.8 billion in Green MBS issued to date,” said Dan Dresser, Senior Vice President, Multifamily Capital Markets & Pricing. “Despite challenges in the market, we continue to work to bring ESG investors the same high-quality credit product that is available to all DUS investors.”

Fannie Mae’s Multifamily Green Financing Business provides financing through several different Green product offerings, encouraging apartment building owners to make energy and water savings improvements to their properties. In addition, the Fannie Mae Green Financing Business provides financing to properties holding a third-party, Fannie Mae-approved, Green Building Certification. Fannie Mae introduced the Green MBS product to the market in 2012 and has issued $76.8 billion in Green MBS and $10.4 billion in Green GeMS since the program’s inception.

“In times of uncertainty, Fannie Mae continues to demonstrate its commitment to environmental and social outcomes,” said Chrissa Pagitsas, Vice President, Enterprise Environmental, Social, & Governance. “Fannie Mae continues to support the renovation of homes with more energy- and water-efficient equipment, which is critical as renters spend more time in their homes and may be seeing an increase in their utility bills. The M20 is a tangible commitment to not only tenants and owners, but also to investors to continue participating in the Green Bond market.”

All classes of FNA 2020-M20 are guaranteed by Fannie Mae with respect to the full and timely payment of interest and principal. The structure details for the multi-tranche offering can be found in the table below:
