WASHINGTON, DC -- Fannie Mae (FNM/NYSE) today announced it will pass-through full prepayments of principal that represent repurchases of 614 mortgage loans from 330 single-family Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) pools. Fannie Mae will reflect the prepayment activity in its December 2006 Pool Factors and will pass-through the principal prepayments on the December distribution date for these pools.

One of Fannie Mae's seller/servicers notified the company that it delivered certain mortgage loans into Fannie Mae MBS pools that did not meet Fannie Mae's underwriting guidelines. This notification and the company's confirmation of the deficiencies triggered the repurchases.

Of the MBS pools affected, 209 have been re-securitized into 1,204 Fannie Mae Mega, 367 REMIC, and 32 SMBS transactions. There were nine Mega, eight REMIC, and two SMBS transactions impacted greater than 1 percent of the security balance. For a complete list of the affected MBS pools, including any Mega, REMIC, and SMBS transactions impacted greater than 1 percent, see the attached list.
