WASHINGTON, D.C. – Fannie Mae (FNMA/OTC) priced its first Multifamily DUS REMIC in 2012 totaling $763 million under its Fannie Mae Guaranteed Multifamily Structures (Fannie Mae GeMS™) program on January 13, 2012.  

“A wide spectrum of investors came out of the gate with orders, and 2012-M1 was quickly oversubscribed.  Based on the origination volumes we have seen coming through the Agency execution, and the continued demand for GeMS, I anticipate larger deal sizes and monthly issuance this year.  Even as analysts are forecasting continued volatility in the broader CMBS space, there is clearly a strong appetite for Agency CMBS,” said Kimberly Johnson, Vice President of Multifamily Capital Markets.

All classes of FNA 2012-M1 are guaranteed by Fannie Mae with respect to the full and timely payment of interest and principal. Yield maintenance prepayment premiums apply to all underlying loans.  The structure details for the multi-tranche offering are included in the table below.
