Freddie Mac Announces Plans to Request Delisting of Debt and Mortgage Securities and STACR Debt Notes in the European Union
(firmenpresse) - MCLEAN, VA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/30/16 -- Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) announced today that it plans to request that its debt securities, mortgage securities and STACR debt notes no longer be admitted to trading on the relevant markets in Luxembourg and Ireland. The company expects formally to initiate the delisting process with the Luxembourg and Irish Stock Exchanges by the first quarter of 2017.
Freddie Mac currently has certain of its debt securities and mortgage securities, including notes issued under its "Unlimited Amount Global Debt Facility" and other issuances as set out in Annex A hereto, admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, and it also has STACR debt notes admitted to trading on the Global Exchange Market of the Irish Stock Exchange as set out in Annex B hereto. As a result of these listings, Freddie Mac has become subject to the Market Abuse Regulation that recently went into effect in the European Union.
Freddie Mac has evaluated its compliance obligations under the Market Abuse Regulation in light of the unique circumstances presented by its status as an entity in conservatorship that is supported by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The company believes these circumstances could make ongoing compliance with the Market Abuse Regulation especially burdensome and costly.
Freddie Mac plans formally to initiate the delisting process with the Luxembourg and Irish Stock Exchanges by the first quarter of 2017. Completion of the process will be subject to action by these Exchanges, and in particular to approval and any specific listing transition periods imposed by such Exchanges. The clearing and settlement of the relevant securities will not be affected by the delisting.
