Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Election of Directors

Upon its appointment as conservator of Fannie Mae in September 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) succeeded to all rights, titles, powers and privileges of Fannie Mae, and of any stockholder, officer or director of Fannie Mae with respect to Fannie Mae and its assets, including the stockholders’ rights to elect our directors.

Since FHFA reconstituted our Board of Directors in 2008, subsequent vacancies have been filled by the Board, subject to review by the conservator. Board members who were appointed for the first time in 2021 or thereafter have been serving three-year terms while we are in conservatorship.

We recently implemented an annual election schedule for our Board of Directors, and FHFA executed a written stockholder consent, dated December 2, 2024, electing all of the current members of Fannie Mae’s Board of Directors:

Each director will serve for a term that ends on the date of our next annual meeting of shareholders, or when the conservator next elects our directors by written consent, and will hold office until their successor is chosen and qualified, or until the director’s earlier resignation, retirement, removal, or death. As Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Almodovar’s service on the Board ceases at the termination of her employment as Chief Executive Officer unless otherwise requested by the Board.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
