Title: |
|
Step Rate Bonds Due November 26, 2019 |
This Pricing Supplement relates to the issue of Fannie Mae Investment Notes
described below (the " Bonds "). You should read it together with the Offering
Circular, dated March 19, 2007 (the "Offering Circular"), and the Offering
Circular Supplement, dated March 21, 2007 (the "Supplement"), relating
to the Universal Debt Facility of the Federal National Mortgage Association
("Fannie Mae"). Capitalized terms used in this Pricing Supplement have
the meanings we gave to them in the Offering Circular, unless we specify
otherwise.
|
The Bonds, together with interest thereon, are not guaranteed by the
United States and do not constitute a debt or obligation of the United
States or of any agency or instrumentality thereof other than Fannie Mae.
|
|
You should read and understand the following discussion of certain risk
factors before purchasing the Bonds. You also should read and understand
the more complete discussion of risk factors that appears in the Offering
Circular beginning on page 7. The following discussion, the Supplement
and the Risk Factors section in the Offering Circular may not describe
all of the risks and investment considerations (including those relating
to your particular circumstances) of an investment in the Bonds .
|
|
You should consult your own financial and legal advisors about:
|
*
|
|
the risks of an investment in the Bonds (for example, the
risks associated with the Bonds' redemption feature and Survivor's Option
(as defined in the Supplement)); |
|
|
|
*
|
|
the suitability of your investing in the Bonds in light
of your particular situation; |
|
|
|
*
|
|
the appropriate tools to analyze a possible investment
in the Bonds; and |
|
|
|
*
|
|
possible economic and interest rate scenarios and other
factors that may affect your investment in the Bonds. |

You should not purchase the Bonds unless you understand, can evaluate and
are able to bear all risks of an investment in the Bonds. These risks include
the risks that the Bonds may not be readily saleable, that the value of
the Bonds will fluctuate over time, and that such fluctuations may be significant
and could result in significant losses to you. These risks are especially
important to understand if circumstances arise that will not permit you
to hold the Bonds until the Maturity Date. If you sell a Bond prior to
the Maturity Date, you may receive sales proceeds (less applicable transaction
costs) that are less than the amount you originally invested.
|
|
Our ability to redeem the Bonds before the Maturity Date is likely to affect
the market value of the Bonds. During any period when we may elect to redeem
the Bonds, the Bonds' market value generally will not rise substantially
above the price at which we may redeem the Bonds because of the increased
likelihood of redemption. This also may be true prior to any redemption
period.
|
|
We may be expected to redeem the Bonds when our cost of borrowing is lower
than the interest rate on the Bonds. Because we are most likely to redeem
the Bonds when interest rates have fallen, principal is likely to be returned
to you upon redemption at a time when prevailing interest rates are lower.
Therefore, you generally would not be able to reinvest redemption proceeds
at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on the Bonds,
and your reinvestment might be at a significantly lower rate. You should
consider the related reinvestment risk in light of other investments available
to you at that time.
|
|
If you are considering purchasing Bonds at a premium (or a discount), you
should consider the risk that a redemption relatively early (or late) following
issuance of the Bonds could result in an actual yield that is lower than
your anticipated yield.
|
|
If we redeem a portion of the Bonds, the market for the Bonds remaining
outstanding may not be very liquid.
|
|
We will have a discretionary right to limit the aggregate principal amount
of Bonds subject to that Survivor's Option that may be exercised in any
calendar year. We also will have the discretionary right to limit the aggregate
principal amount of Bonds subject to the Survivor's Option that may be
exercised in any calendar year on behalf of any individual deceased beneficial
owner of Bonds. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that exercise of a Survivor's
Option for the desired amount will be permitted in any single calendar
year. Furthermore, a Survivor's Option may not be exercised until at least
twelve months following the issue date of the Bond.
|
|
You should consult your own financial and legal advisors about the suitability
of your investing in the Bonds in light of your particular situation (for
example, if you need to receive the principal amount on the Maturity Date
or need to receive fixed interest payments until the Maturity Date, the
Bonds may not be an appropriate investment for you because of the Bonds'
redemption feature).
