WASHINGTON, DC – Fannie Mae (FNMA/OTC) today announced the winning bidders for its fourth non-performing loan sale. The sale included approximately 6,500 loans totaling $1.32 billion in unpaid principal balance, divided amongst four pools. The winning bidders for the transaction, expected to close March 28, 2016, are Canyon Partners (Carlsbad Funding Mortgage Loan Acquisition, LP) for the first pool, Pretium Mortgage Credit Partners I Loan Acquisition, LP for the second pool and Goldman Sachs (MTGLQ Investors, L.P.) for the third and fourth pool.

“We are committed to reducing Fannie Mae’s holdings of non-performing loans in a responsible way,” said Joy Cianci, Senior Vice President, Credit Portfolio Management, Fannie Mae. “We continue to work with struggling homeowners to prevent foreclosures whenever we can.
