Fannie Mae (FNM/NYSE) today announced it has corrected subtypes of certain adjustable-rate Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) pools. For a list of the affected MBS pools see Attachment A: List of MBS Pools with Subtype Corrections.

Fannie Mae is reviewing additional pools. For a list of these MBS pools see Attachment B: List of Pools Ineligible for Megas and REMICs. Each of these pools will not be eligible for delivery into a Fannie Mega® pool or REMIC until the review is complete.

We expect to complete our review of all pools by the end of January 2006. As we complete the individual pool reviews, we will clear pools for Mega and REMIC eligibility. Weekly updates to both of the above lists will be posted to Fannie Mae's Mortgage-Backed Securities "Headlines" page at https://www.fanniemae.com/mbs/index.jhtml.
