Stock Ownership

Fannie Mae encourages its directors, officers, and employees to own Fannie Mae stock to align their interests with the interest of shareholders. As such, a significant portion of the compensation paid to directors and officers is paid in Fannie Mae common stock, as described in more detail later in the proxy statement. Employees of Fannie Mae also have the opportunity to own Fannie Mae stock through our employee stock purchase plan, bonus stock opportunities, and our ESOP. We believe that the stock ownership of our directors, officers, and employees has played a valuable role in Fannie Mae’s outstanding performance.

In April 2003, the Board of Directors added another key component to our stock ownership principles—formal stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers.Under the guidelines, executive officers of Fannie Mae are required to hold sharesbeneficial owner of Fannie Mae common stock on the Record Date, you must present evidence of your authority to act as the legal representative of that entity.

If I cannot attend the 2007 annual meeting in person, will it be Web cast?
Yes, there will be a live audio Web cast of the annual meeting atwww.fanniemae.com. Note that you must be present in person at the annual meeting to ask questions. The Web cast of the annual meeting will be available for 30 days after the meeting.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Corporate Governance Progress
We have made a great deal of progress in improving our corporate governance policies and practices. The Board and management of Fannie Mae continually monitor the latest developments in corporate governance, as well as the most recent laws, rules, and regulations, and have proactively adopted numerous new or revised policies and procedures to ensure that the Company adopts the latest and best corporate governance practices. Some examples of our progress include:
• separating the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and, as a result of the Board’s emphasis on the independence of our directors, structuring the Board so that all but one of our directors are independent;
• recruiting eight new members of our Board of Directors to fill vacancies caused by normal turnover, with an emphasis on constituting the Board with directors having the combination of skills, backgrounds, and expertise needed to oversee and guide the company most effectively;
• the establishment of stock ownership requirements for our senior executives and stock ownership guidelines for our non-management directors; and
• the adoption of majority vote standards for elections of directors.
We continue to evaluate legal and regulatory requirements and emerging best practices and will adopt them as appropriate.
Our corporate governance materials, including our Corporate Governance Guidelines, Codes of Conduct, and Board committee charters are available on our Web site atwww.fanniemae.com, under “Corporate Governance.” These materials are also available in print to any shareholder upon request. The Board regularly reviews corporate governance developments and modifies its Corporate Governance Guidelines, committee charters, and key practices as warranted.
Corporate Governance Guidelines
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines (“Guidelines”), as adopted by our Board of Directors, include guidelines for determining director independence and qualifications for directors. The Board regularly reviews corporate governance developments and modifies our Guidelines and the charters of our Board committees as appropriate.
Codes of Conduct
We have a Code of Conduct for employees, and all of our employees, including our officers, are required to read and certify their compliance with the Code of Conduct annually. The code of ethics for our Chief Executive Officer and senior financial officers that is described in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and provided for in the implementing regulations of the SEC is included in our employee Code of Conduct. The Compliance Committee is responsible under its charter for reviewing the employee Code of Conduct.
We also have a Code of Conduct and Conflicts of Interest Policy for Members of the Board of Directors. Directors are required to read and certify their compliance with this code annually. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing compliance with the Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interests Policy for Members of the Board of Directors.
We will post on our web site any change to or waiver from the employee Code of Conduct for any of our executive officers, and any change to or waiver from the Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interests Policy for Members of the Board of Directors for any of our directors.

Director Independence
We believe that a central component of good corporate governance is having a Board that is composed of a substantial majority of directors who are independent from management. The Board of Directors has adopted standards for director independence that meet, and in some respects exceed, those of the NYSE.
Even if no relationship or transaction exists that would disqualify a director from being “independent” under these standards, the Board does not consider any of our directors to be “independent” unless the Board affirmatively makes a determination that the director has no material relationship with Fannie Mae, either directly or through an organization that has a material relationship with us. A relationship is “material” if, in the judgment of the Board, it would interfere with the director’s independent judgment. In addition, under the NYSE’s listing requirements for audit committees, members of a company’s audit committee must meet additional, heightened independence criteria. Our own independence standards require all of our independent directors to meet these more rigorous criteria.
The independence standards for our directors, which are set forth in the Guidelines, are set forth below.
Employment.  A director will not be considered independent if, within the preceding five years:
• the director was employed by us; or
• an immediate family member of the director was employed by us as an executive officer;
Auditor Affiliation.  A director will not be considered independent if:
• the director is a current partner or employee of our outside auditor, or within the preceding five years, was (but is no longer) a partner or employee of our outside auditor and personally worked on our audit within that time; or
• an immediate family member of the director is a current partner of our outside auditor, or is a current employee of our outside auditor participating in the firm’s audit, assurance or tax compliance (but not tax planning) practice, or within the preceding five years, was (but is no longer) a partner or employee of our outside auditor and personally worked on our audit within that time.
Compensation Committee Interlocks.  A director will not be considered independent if, within the preceding five years:
• the director was employed by a company other than Fannie Mae at a time when any of our current executive officers was a member of that company’s compensation committee; or
• an immediate family member of the director was employed as an officer by a company other than Fannie Mae at a time when any of our current executive officers was a member of that company’s compensation committee.
Compensation.  A director will not be considered independent if, within the preceding five years:
• the director received any compensation from us, directly or indirectly, other than fees for service as a director; or
• an immediate family member of the director received any compensation from us, directly or indirectly, other than compensation received for service as a non-executive employee of our company.
Business Relationships.  A director will not be considered independent if:
• the director is a current executive officer, employee, controlling shareholder or partner of an entity that does or did business with us if, within the preceding five years, we made payments to, or received payments from, that entity, and, in any single fiscal year, those payments exceeded $1,000,000 or 2% of the entity’s consolidated gross annual revenues, whichever is greater; or
• an immediate family member of the director is a current executive officer of a corporation or other entity that does or did business with us if, within the preceding five years, we made payments to, or received


9


payments from, the entity that, in any single fiscal year were in excess of $1,000,000 or 2% of the entity’s consolidated gross annual revenues, whichever is greater.
Charitable Contributions.  A director will not be considered independent if the director or the director’s spouse is an executive officer, employee, director or trustee of a nonprofit organization to which we or the Fannie Mae Foundation makes or has made contributions within the preceding three years that, in a single year, were in excess of 5% of the organization’s consolidated gross annual revenues, or $100,000, whichever is less. Amounts contributed under our matching gifts program are not included in the contributions calculated for purposes of this standard.
Our independence standards, which in some respects exceed those established by the NYSE, also provide that, after considering the relevant facts and circumstances, our Board may determine in its judgment that a director is independent (in other words, the director has no relationship with us that would interfere with the director’s independent judgment), even though the director does not meet the standards listed above as long, as the determination of independence is consistent with the NYSE definition of “independence.” If neither our guidelines nor the NYSE independence requirements address a particular relationship, the determination of whether the relationship is material, and whether a director is independent, will be made by our Board, based upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
Our Board of Directors, with the assistance of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has reviewed the independence of all current Board members under the listing standards of the NYSE, and the standards of independence adopted by the Board contained in our Guidelines, as outlined above. Based on its review, the Board has affirmatively determined that all of our independent directors meet the director independence standards of our Guidelines and the NYSE, and that each of the following 12 directors is independent: Stephen B. Ashley, the non-executive Chairman, Dennis R. Beresford, Louis J. Freeh, Brenda J. Gaines, Karen N. Horn, Bridget A. Macaskill, Joe K. Pickett, Leslie Rahl, John C. Sites, Jr., Greg C. Smith, H. Patrick Swygert, and John K. Wulff.
In determining the independence of each of our Board members, the Board of Directors considered the following relationships in addition to those addressed by the standards contained in our Guidelines as set forth above:
• Ms. Gaines’ past service as an independent director of a corporation that provides insurance services to the Fannie Mae Foundation, for which an immaterial amount of premiums is paid;
• Our payments of substantially less than $1,000,000, pursuant to our bylaws and indemnification obligations, of legal fees to a law firm with which Ms. Rahl’s husband is a partner, as a result of the law firm’s representation of Ms. Rahl in connection with various lawsuits and regulatory investigations arising from Ms. Rahl’s service on our Board;
• Contributions by the Fannie Mae Foundation of over $100,000 in 2004 and 2006 (before Mr. Sites became a Fannie Mae director) to an affiliate of Covenant House where Mr. Sites served as a director through 2006, and Mr. Sites’ role as a consultant to a financial institution that could in the future invest in mortgage businesses or mortgages;
• Contributions totaling less than $100,000 in 2006 by usand/or the Fannie Mae Foundation to Howard University, where Mr. Swygert serves as President; and
• Mr. Wulff’s service as an independent director of Moody’s Corporation, which provides specific research and investor services to us, and for which we make payments of substantially less than 2% of Moody’s and our consolidated gross annual revenues.
Mr. Mudd is not considered an independent director under the Guidelines because of his position as our Chief Executive Officer.

Executive Sessions
Our non-management directors meet regularly in executive session without management present. Time for an executive session is reserved at every regularly scheduled Board meeting. Stephen B. Ashley, in his capacity as Chairman of the Board, presides over these sessions. During 2006, our non-management directors met 13 times in executive session.
Certain Transactions and Relationships
Policies and Procedures Relating to Transactions with Related Persons.  We review relationships and transactions in which we are a participant and in which any of our directors or executive officers, or the immediate family members of either, has an interest to determine whether any of those persons has a material interest in the relationship or transaction. Our current written policies and procedures for review, approval or ratification of relationships or transactions with related persons are set forth in our:
• Code of Conduct and Conflicts of Interest Policy for Members of the Board of Directors;
• Board of Directors’ delegation of authorities and reservation of powers;
• Code of Conduct for employees;
• Conflict of Interest Policy and Conflict of Interest Procedure for employees; and
• Employment of Relatives Practice.
Our Code of Conduct and Conflicts of Interest Policy for Members of the Board of Directors prohibits our directors from engaging in any conduct or activity that is inconsistent with our best interests. It requires each of our directors to excuse himself or herself from voting on any issue before the Board that could result in a conflict, self-dealing or other circumstance if the director’s position as a multipledirector would be detrimental to us or result in a non-competitive, favored or unfair advantage to either the director or the director’s associates. In addition, our directors must disclose to the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, or another member of the committee, any situation that involves or appears to involve a conflict of interest. This includes, for example, any financial interest of a director, an immediate family member of a director, or a business associate of a director in any transaction being considered by the Board, as well as any financial interest a director may have in an organization doing business with us.
Our Board’s delegation of authorities and reservation of powers requires our Board of Directors or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to review and approve any investment, acquisition, financing or other transaction that we engage in directly with any current director or executive officer or any immediate family member or affiliate of a current director or executive officer.
Our Code of Conduct for employees requires that we and our employees seek to avoid any actual or apparent conflict between our business interests and the personal interests of our employees or their base salary, as follows:relatives or associates. An employee who knows or suspects a violation of our Code of Conduct must raise the issue with the employee’s manager, another appropriate member of management, a member of our Human Resources division or our Compliance and Ethics division.
Under our Conflict of Interest Policy and Conflict of Interest Procedure for employees, an employee who has a potential conflict of interest must request review and approval of the conflict. Conflicts requiring review and approval include situations where the employee or a close relative of the employee has (1) a financial interest worth more than $100,000 in an entity that does business with or seeks to do business with us or (2) a financial interest worth more than $10,000 in such an entity combined with the ability to control or influence our relationship with the entity. In accordance with its charter, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in the case of potential conflicts involving our Chief Executive Officer—fiveOfficer, Chief Business Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Risk Officer, General Counsel, Chief Audit Executive, or Chief Compliance Officer, must determine whether a conflict exists, any required steps to address the conflict, and whether or not to grant a waiver of the conflict under our Conflict of Interest Policy. In the case of conflicts involving other executive officers, our Chief Executive Officer makes the determination.


11


Our Employment of Relatives Practice prohibits, among other things, situations where an employee would exercise influence, control, or authority over the employee’s relative’s areas of responsibility or terms of employment, including but not limited to job responsibilities, performance ratings or compensation. Employees have an obligation to disclose the existence of any relation to another current employee prior to applying for any position or engaging in any other work situation that may give rise to prohibited influence, control or authority. We require our directors and executive officers, not less than annually, to describe to us any situation involving a transaction with us in which a director or executive officer could potentially have a personal interest that would require SEC disclosure.
Transactions with 5% Shareholders.  Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”) beneficially owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of December 29, 2006. Since January 1, 2006, we have engaged in securities and other financial instrument transactions in the ordinary course of business with Citigroup and its affiliates. We have extensive, multi-billion dollar relationships with Citigroup. Citigroupand/or its affiliates have at times salary;engaged in the following types of transactions and activities: distributing our debt securities as a dealer; committing to sell or buy mortgage-related securities or mortgage loans as a dealer; delivering mortgage loans to us for purchase by our mortgage portfolio or for securitization into Fannie Mae mortgage-backed securities; issuing investments held in our liquid investment portfolio; and acting as a derivatives counterparty or a counterparty involved in other financial instrument or investment transactions with us.
A majority of the assets in the Fannie Mae Retirement Plan are managed by Alliance Capital Management L.P. and AllianceBernstein L.P. Alliance Capital. AllianceBernstein beneficially owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of December 31, 2006, through their management of shares beneficially owned by AXA and its related entities. In addition, an affiliate of AXA has engaged in financial instrument transactions with us.
These transactions with our 5% shareholders did not require review, approval or ratification under any of our policies and procedures relating to transactions with related persons. All of these transactions were on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated third parties.
Transactions with The Duberstein Group.  Kenneth Duberstein, a former director of Fannie Mae, is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Duberstein Group, Inc., an independent strategic planning and consulting firm that has provided services to us since 1991. The Duberstein Group previously provided us consulting services related to legislative and regulatory issues, and associated matters. We entered into a new agreement with the Duberstein Group in June 2007 under which the firm provides us consulting services related to industry and trade issues. During 2006 the firm provided services on an annual fixed-fee basis of $375,000. The fees we paid to The Duberstein Group in 2006 are included in the “2006 Non-Employee Director Compensation Table” under “Proposal 1: Election of Directors—Directors’ Compensation.” Under our new agreement, we pay an annual fixed fee of $400,000.
Our entry into a new agreement with The Duberstein Group in 2007 was not considered by the Chair of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, nor did it require approval by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee under our Board’s delegation of authorities and reservation of powers because, at the time we entered into the new agreement, Mr. Duberstein was no longer a Fannie Mae director. During 2006, our relationship with Mr. Duberstein’s firm was disclosed to the Chair of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee but did not require approval by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee under our Board’s delegation of authorities and reservation of powers because they had not yet been implemented.
Employment Relationships.  Barbara Spector, the sister of Robert J. Levin, who is our Chief Business Officer, is a non-officer employee in our Enterprise Systems Operations division. The Enterprise Systems Operations division does not report, nor has it ever reported, to Mr. Levin. From January 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007, we paid or awarded Ms. Spector for her services in 2006 and 2007 approximately $264,000 in salary and cash bonuses.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Composition of the Board of Directors
Under the Charter Act, our Board of Directors consists of 18 directors, five of whom are appointed by the President of the United States, with the remainder elected by shareholders. The terms of office of the most recent Presidential appointees to Fannie Mae’s Board expired on May 25, 2004, and the President has not reappointed or replaced any of them. Pursuant to the Charter Act, those five Board positions will remain open unless and until the President names new appointees.
We engage a third-party executive search firm to identify potential director nominees. In addition, members of our Board of Directors and members of our executive management from time to time recommend a person for consideration as a potential director nominee. All potential director nominees are then evaluated by the third-party executive search firm, and we also engage outside counsel to help evaluate the independence of potential director nominees. All of the director nominees who joined the Board since the last annual meeting of shareholders were recommended to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by the third-party executive search firm, except that (1) Dennis R. Beresford also was recommended by our Chief Financial Officer at the time and by a non-management member of the Audit Committee and (2) John C. Sites, Jr., was recommended by our Chief Business Officer.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends nominees for election as Fannie Mae directors to the Board for consideration. Guidelines for the consideration of all director candidates are contained in the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter and in our Guidelines, and there is no separate policy governing the consideration of director candidates recommended by shareholders.
It is the policy of the Board that a substantial majority of the seated Fannie Mae directors will be independent, in accordance with the standards adopted by the Board. In addition, the Board, as a group, must be knowledgeable in business, finance, capital markets, accounting, risk management, public policy, mortgage lending, real estate, low-income housing, homebuilding, regulation of financial institutions, and any other areas that may be relevant to the safe and sound operation of Fannie Mae. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks out Board members who possess:
• the highest personal values, judgment, and integrity;
• an understanding of the regulatory and policy environment in which Fannie Mae does its business; and
• diverse experience in the key business, financial, and other challenges that face a major American enterprise.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers whether a prospective candidate for the Board has the ability to attend meetings and fully participate in the activities of the Board, including whether the candidate’s service on outside boards will permit the candidate sufficient time to devote to responsibilities associated with being a Fannie Mae director.
In considering members of the Board for re-nomination, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into consideration:
• a director’s previous contribution to the effective functioning of Fannie Mae;
• any change during the past year in the director’s principal area of responsibility with his or her company or in his or her employment;
• the director’s retirement during the past year from his or her principal area of responsibility with his or her company;
• whether the director continues to bring relevant experience to the Board;
• whether the director has the ability to attend meetings and fully participate in the activities of the Board;


17


The

• whether the director has developed any relationships with Fannie Mae or another organization, or other circumstances have arisen, that might make it inappropriate for the director to continue serving on the Board; and
• the director’s age and length of service on the Board.
Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board of Directors has nominated the 12 persons namedidentified below to stand for election at the 2007 annual meeting tomeeting. You may not vote for more than the number of nominees for election as directors. Under the Charter Act, each director is elected or appointed for a term ending on the date of our next shareholders’ meeting. In accordance with the Charter Act and our bylaws, each nominee for director who is elected will serve a one-year term untilending on the date of the annual meeting of shareholders in 2004. The2008 and until the director’s successor is chosen and qualified or, if earlier, until the director dies, resigns, retires or is removed from office in accordance with the law.
Mr. Pickett has elected not to stand for re-election when his term expires at the annual meeting. As a result, there will be six vacancies on the Board of Directors hasafter the meeting. There are no reasonnominees for five of these vacancies because, as described above, only the U.S. President can fill these vacancies. There is one fewer nominee for director than the number of directors to believebe elected by shareholders under the Charter Act because we are still engaged in the process of identifying an appropriate and qualified candidate. If we find a qualified individual with appropriate skills to fill the vacancy, then we anticipate that, any nomineefollowing the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation of the candidate to serve as a director, the Board will appoint the person to fill the vacancy. The shareholders will not elect the candidate because, under the Charter Act, a vacancy on the Board may be filled by the affirmative vote of the majority of the directors then serving as directors. A director who is elected by the Board to fill a vacancy on the Board will serve as a director until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until the director’s successor is chosen and qualified or, if earlier until the director dies, resigns, retires or is removed from office in accordance with the law. Any shareholder who wishes to submit a candidate orfor consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee should submit written notice as described below under “Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations for 2008.”
Because the number of director nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected, each nominee for director will be unableelected if the votes castFOR the director exceed the votes castAGAINSTthe director. In addition, although our Board consists of 18 directors under the Charter Act, proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the 12 nominees named below under “Nominees for Election.”
Each director nominee has consented to serve. However,being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected. If any nominee should become unwilling or unable to serve as a director, the proxy holders, in the absence of contrary instruction, will vote the proxies for the election of such persons as shall be designated by the Board of Directors. AsDirectors designates. In addition, each director nominee has submitted a result ofcontingent irrevocable resignation that will become effective if the departure from the Board of Mr. Stephen Friedman,nominee does not receive a vacancy currently exists on the Boardof Directors. The Board intends to fill this vacancy upon its selection of a qualified candidate to succeed Mr. Friedman. A pluralitymajority of the votes cast atand, based on the annual meeting is required for the election of each nominee for director.

All nominees have consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected.

Pursuant to the Fannie Mae Charter Act, the Presidentrecommendation of the United States has the authority to appoint five additional directors for terms ending on the dateNominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the 2004 annual meeting.

(1)These amounts represent the dollar amounts we recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to 2006 for the fair value of restricted stock granted during 2006 and in prior years in accordance with SFAS 123R. As required by SEC rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. The value of the restricted stock awards is calculated as the average of the high and low trading price of our common stock on the date of grant. During 2006, three directors received restricted stock grants with the SFAS 123R grant date fair values shown upon joining our Board: Mr. Beresford, $36,033; Ms. Gaines, $26,162; and Ms. Horn, $26,162.
Ms. Korologos and Mr. Marron each retired from our Board during 2006 and, as a result, forfeited shares of unvested restricted common stock. The amounts shown do not reflect the reversal of previously recognized compensation cost for the forfeited shares. The amounts shown also do not reflect the impact of Mr. Gerrity’s forfeiture of 650 shares of restricted stock upon his resignation from our Board of Directors in December 2006.
As of December 31, 2006, our directors held the following number of shares of restricted stock: Mr. Ashley, Mr. Beresford, Mr. Duberstein, Ms. Macaskill, Mr. Pickett, Ms. Rahl, Mr. Smith, Mr. Swygert, and Mr. Wulff, 650 shares each; Ms. Gaines and Ms. Horn, 487 shares each; and Mr. Gerrity, Ms. Korologos, and Mr. Marron, 0 shares.
(2)These amounts represent the dollar amounts we recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to 2006 for the fair value of stock option awards granted during 2005 and in prior years in accordance with SFAS 123R. No director has received a stock option award since 2005. For the assumptions used in calculating the value of these awards, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Stock-Based Compensation,” in our annual report onForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Mr. Beresford, Ms. Gaines, Ms. Horn, and Ms. Macaskill have never been awarded Fannie Mae stock options.
As of December 31, 2006, each of our directors held options to purchase the following number of shares of common stock, with exercise prices ranging from $42.69 to $79.22 per share and expiration dates ranging from 2007 to 2015: Mr. Ashley, 26,000 shares; Mr. Beresford, Ms. Gaines, Ms. Horn, and Ms. Macaskill, 0 shares; Mr. Duberstein and Mr. Gerrity, 28,000 shares; Mr. Marron, 4,000 shares; Mr. Pickett and Ms. Korologos, 32,000 shares; Ms. Rahl, 5,333 shares; Mr. Smith, 666 shares; Mr. Swygert, 11,833 shares; and Mr. Wulff, 2,000 shares.
(3)“All Other Compensation” consists of our estimated incremental cost of providing Board members benefits under our Director’s Charitable Award Program, which is discussed in greater detail below. We estimate our incremental cost of providing this benefit for each director based on (1) the present value of our expected future payment of the benefit that became vested during 2006 and (2) the time value during 2006 of amounts vested for that director in prior years.

Directors’ Compensation

Retainer Fees

During 2002,

We estimated the present values of our expected future payment based on the age and gender of our directors, the RP 2000 white collar mortality table projected to 2010, and a discount rate of approximately 5.5%. For Mr. Duberstein, our estimated cost for providing this benefit is $35,335, and we have also included in “All Other Compensation” $375,000 we paid to The Duberstein Group for consulting services. This amount was paid to The Duberstein Group, not to Mr. Duberstein. Our transactions with The Duberstein Group are discussed more in “Corporate Governance—Certain Transactions and Relationships—Transactions with the Duberstein Group.” Amounts shown under “All Other Compensation” do not include gifts made by the Fannie Mae Foundation under its matching gifts program, under which gifts made by our employees and directors to 501(c)(3) charities are matched, up to an aggregate total of $10,500 in any calendar year. No amounts are included for this program because the matching gifts are made by the Fannie Mae Foundation, not Fannie Mae. In addition, no amounts are included for a furnished apartment we lease near our corporate offices in Washington, DC for use by Mr. Ashley, the non-executive Chairman of our Board, when he is in town on company business. Provided that he reimburses us, Mr. Ashley is permitted to use the apartment up to twelve nights per year when he is in town but not on company business.
(4)Mr. Duberstein resigned from our Board in February 2007. Mr. Gerrity, Ms. Korologos and Mr. Marron each left our Board in 2006.
Cash Compensation.  Effective January 1, 2008, our directors will be paid a retainer at an annual rate of $100,000. Committee chairs will receive an additional retainer at an annual rate of $25,000 for the Audit Committee chair and $15,000 for all other committee chairs. Our Board has the authority to change or otherwise vary the amount of cash compensation to non-management directors. During 2006, our non-management directors, with the exception of the non-executive Chairman of our Board, were paid a retainer at an annual rate of $35,000, plus $1,000$1,500 for attending each Board or Board committee meeting.meeting in person or by telephone. Committee chairmenchairs received an additional retainer at an annual rate of $10,000, plus an additional $500 for each committee meeting theychaired in person and $300 for each telephonic committee meeting chaired. Directors who participated in telephone conference meetingsIn recognition of the substantial amount of time and effort necessary to fulfill the duties of non-executive Chairman of the Board or Board committeesduring 2006, Mr. Ashley received $600 per meeting plus an additional $300annual fee of $500,000.
Restricted Stock Awards.  We currently have a restricted stock award program for each telephone conference committee meeting that they chaired. In addition, each nonmanagement director received or became vested innon-management directors. This program provides for the periodic awards of restricted common stock vesting in annual installments provided the director continues to serve on the Board of Directors. If the proposed amendment to the Fannie Mae Stock Compensation Plan of 2003, which we refer to as the “2003 Plan” or the “Plan,” described in Proposal 3 is approved, this program and the option program for directors (see “Stock Option Awards” below) will be replaced with the program described under “Non-Management Director Restricted Stock” in “Proposal 3: Approval of Amendment to Fannie Mae Stock Compensation Plan of 2003.”
As part of the current program for periodic awards of restricted stock, optionswe granted 871 shares of restricted common stock to each non-management director in May 2001, under the Fannie Mae Stock Compensation Plan of 1993, which we refer to as discussed below. Asthe “1993 Plan.” These shares vest on the day before each annual meeting at the rate of January 1,20% each year. Each director who joined the Board through May 2006 received a pro rata grant, based on the time remaining in five-year cycle.
Under the 2003 Plan the first award of restricted stock was scheduled to be made at the 2006 annual retainer paidmeeting. This award was not made and will not be made if the proposed amendment to Fannie Maethe 2003 Plan described in Proposal 3 is approved. The award was to have a fair market value of $75,000, and the shares were to vest on the day before each annual meeting at the rate of 25% each year. Directors who joined the Board before the next grant in 2010 were to receive a pro rata grant.
Under both the 1993 Plan and the 2003 Plan, vesting of shares accelerates upon departure from the Board due to death, disability, or, for elected directors, not being renominated after reaching age 70. Otherwise, directors forfeit unvested shares upon leaving the Board.
In addition, in October 2003 we granted 2,600 shares of restricted common stock to each non-management director who was a member of the Board at that time, scheduled to vest in four equal annual installments beginning with the May 2004 annual meeting. We subsequently made pro rata grants to non-management directors who are committee chairmen was increasedjoined the Board after October 2003 and prior to $45,000.the scheduled time of the last vesting in May 2007.
In December 2006, the Board approved the vesting of restricted stock that would have vested at the 2005 and 2006 annual meetings if such meetings had been held.

Directors who are employees of Fannie Mae receive no compensation for their service as directors.

Stock OptionsOption Awards.

Each nonmanagement  Under the terms of the 2003 Plan, each non-management director is granted an annual nonqualified stock option to purchase 4,000 shares of common stock immediately following the annual meeting of shareholders at the fair market value on the date of grant. The date of grant is the date of theA non-management director elected between annual meeting of shareholders. A nonmanagement director appointed or elected as a mid-term replacement will receivemeetings receives a nonqualified stock option to purchase at the fair market value on the date of grant a pro rata number of shares equal to the fraction of the remainder of the term. In May 2002, each nonmanagement director received an option to purchase 4,000 shares of common stock, with a fair market valuebased on the date of grant of $78.885.time remaining until the next annual meeting. Each option granted in 2002 will expire ten years after the date of grant and was exercisable immediatelyvests in four equal annual installments beginning on the datefirst anniversary of grant.the grant, subject to accelerated vesting upon the director’s departure from the Board of Directors. Non-management directors generally have one year to exercise the options granted under the 2003 Plan when they leave the Board. Options granted on or prior to May 20, 2003 under the 1993 Plan must generally be exercised within three months after a director leaves the Board.

If the proposed amendment to the 2003 Plan described in Proposal 3 is approved, no annual stock option awards will be made to the non-management directors with respect to annual meetings that would have been held in 2005 or 2006. In addition, if the amendment to the 2003 Plan is approved, automatic option grants for 2007 and future years will be discontinued.
Stock Ownership Guidelines for Directors.  Under our Guidelines, each non-management director is expected to own shares of our common stock (including restricted stock, restricted stock units, or deferred shares) that have a total value equal to at least five times the annual cash retainer for service as a member of our Board (currently, five times $35,000, or $175,000). Directors have five years from the time of election or appointment to reach the expected ownership level, excluding trading blackout periods we impose. Effective January 1, 2008, the cash retainer for each non-management director will increase to an annual rate of $100,000. The options held by nonmanagement directors whowill have five years to increase the value of their common stock ownership from the current level of $175,000 to $500,000.
In addition, under our Guidelines, a non-management director may not sell or otherwise transfer shares of our common stock received pursuant to his or her service as a Board member (other than shares received in lieu of the director’s annual cash retainer) until the director has served on the Board for at least ten years may be exercised for a period of one year following their retirement from the Board.

Restricted Stock

Fannie Mae has a restricted stock award program for nonmanagement members of the Board of Directors. The shares currently are awarded under the Fannie Mae Stock Compensation Plan of 1993. The award program provides for consecutive five-year cycles of awards of restricted common stock. Restricted common stock is common stock that cannot be sold until it vests over an extended period of time, with vesting contingent on the director’s continued service on the Board. Restricted common stock is held in an escrow account for each participant until it vests. At vesting, the restricted period ends and the escrow agent delivers the shares to participants.

Each participant has all of the rights and privileges of a shareholder as to the restricted common stock, other than the ability to transfer it, including the right to receive any cash or stock dividends declared with respect to the stock and the right to instruct the escrow agent in voting the stock. Awards vest over five years at the rate of

20 percent per year, provided the participant is serving on the Board. If a director joins the Board during a five-year cycle,or until he or she receivesleaves the number of shares of restricted common stock that represents his or her pro rata portion of the grant for the cycle, based on the time remaining in the cycle. These grants vest in the same annual amounts as those of directors who participate in the full five-year cycle. Vesting accelerates upon departure from the Board due to death, disability, or the 70th birthday of an elected director.

In May 2001, Fannie Mae granted 871 shares of restricted common stock for the 2001-2006 cycle to each nonmanagement director who was a member of the Board at that time. The full award for the 2001-2006 cycle had a fair market value on the grant date of $65,813. The current members of the Board who were not members in May 2001 received pro rata awards upon their appointment or election to the Board, as follows: 856 shares to Mr. Ashe, Ms. Bordonaro, Mr. Harvey, and Mr. Segue in July 2001; 813 shares to Mr. Justiz in October 2001; and 697 shares to Mr. Malek in May 2002.

In May 2002, the following nonmanagement directors vested in shares of restricted common stock as follows: 174 shares to Mr. Ashley, Mr. Duberstein, Mr. Gerrity, Ms. McLaughlin Korologos, Mr. Marron, Ms. Mulcahy, Mr. Pickett, and Mr. Swygert; 159 shares to Mr. Ashe, Ms. Bordonaro, Mr. Harvey, and Mr. Segue; and 116 shares to Mr. Justiz. In addition, in May 2002, Mr. Vincent Mai, who left the Board in May 2002, and Mr. Stephen Friedman, who left the Board in December 2002, each vested in 174 shares of restricted common stock.

Fannie Mae Director’s Charitable Award ProgramProgram.

In 1992, we established the Federal National Mortgage Associationour Director’s Charitable Award Program. The purpose of the program is to acknowledge the service of Fannie Mae’sour directors, recognize theour own interest and that of Fannie Mae and itsour directors in supporting worthy institutions, and enhance Fannie Mae’sour director benefit program to enable Fannie Maeus to continue to attract and retain directors of the highest caliber. Under the program, whenwe make donations upon the death of a director dies, Fannie Mae will donate up to a maximum of $1,000,000 in $100,000 increments to up to five charitable organizations or educational institutions of the director’s choice. We donate $100,000 for every year of service by a director up to a maximum of $1,000,000. To be eligible to receive a donation, a recommended organization must be an educational institution or charitable organization and must qualify to receive tax-deductible donations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The program is generally funded by life insurance contracts on the lives of participating directors; the funding is structured in a manner that will allow Fannie Mae to recover the entire program cost through the receipt of life insurance benefits.directors. The program has no direct compensation value to directors because they do not receive any direct cash or tax benefit.

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

This is the 2002 report of the Fannie Mae Compensation Committee. The Committee is composed entirely of independent directors. The Compensation Committee charter setting forth the Committee’s organization, purpose, and duties is available at www.fanniemae.com.

Fannie Mae’s Compensation Philosophy and Approach

Fannie Mae became a shareholder-owned corporation in 1968, and since that time has become one of the world’s largest financial institutions. In carrying out its mission, Fannie Mae has become the country’s largest source of financing for home mortgages and the largest issuer of private-sector corporate debt and mortgage-backed securities.

Because of the scope and complexity of Fannie Mae’s activities and the importance of its mission, it is imperative that the corporation always be in a position to attract and retain the best possible talent. To this end, Fannie Mae’s Board of Directors has adopted a compensation policy designed to help the corporation compete with other large, sophisticated financial services companies for the talent Fannie Mae needs.

In formulating and implementing Fannie Mae’s compensation philosophy, the Board of Directors, through its Compensation Committee, also has carefully considered its statutory obligations under the Fannie Mae Charter Act (the “Charter Act”). The Charter Act states that the Board of Directors shall pay its executive officers compensation which the Board determines to be “reasonable and comparable with compensation for employment in other similar businesses (including other publicly held financial institutions or major financial services corporations) involving similar duties and responsibilities.” Moreover, the Charter Act requires that “a significant portion of potential compensation of all executive officers…of [Fannie Mae] shall be based on the performance of [Fannie Mae].” The Compensation Committee has based its compensation philosophy on these statutory requirements and has established review processes to ensure that this philosophy is implemented rigorously and carefully.

Accordingly, the central tenets of Fannie Mae’s compensation philosophy are pay for performance and comparability. Pay for performance is reflected strongly in the structure of Fannie Mae’s compensation programs. It is the core principle underlying the programs. Other than base salary, all major elements of Fannie Mae’s compensation program for the most senior members of the executive officer group are tied to annual and long-term performance goals. Furthermore, through the use of stock vesting over multi-year terms, Fannie Mae tightly aligns the interests of executives with those of shareholders.

The Committee acts to ensure that Fannie Mae’s compensation is reasonable and comparable with the compensation of executives in other similar businesses that involve similar duties and responsibilities. Each year, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation survey data to analyze current compensation practices at companies comparable to Fannie Mae in terms of asset size, line of business, market capitalization, and other factors. Specific Fannie Mae officer positions are compared to positions involving similar duties and responsibilities. The market data reviewed by the Committee for specific officer positions comes from companies included in the S&P Financials Index shown in the stock performance graph, as well as other publicly held financial institutions and major financial services companies that compete for executives whose skills and experience are sought by Fannie Mae. The Committee utilizes as a third party resource a nationally recognized executive compensation consulting firm to assist in this comparability analysis.

In 2002, the Committee also asked its executive compensation consultant to provide a comprehensive assessment of Fannie Mae’s compensation philosophy to assist the Committee in its analysis of that pay philosophy, market comparability, and types of long-term incentives used. Based on that review, the Committee decided to continue to target cash compensation (i.e., salary and annual bonus) at approximately the 50th percentile of the market data and positions total compensation (cash plus stock-based awards) at approximately the 65th percentile. The market data is used to determine specific salary, bonus, and variable long-term incentive award targets by officer position. The proportion of the total compensation package tied

16


to performance measures increases with the rank of the executive officer.

In implementing Fannie Mae’s compensation philosophy, the Committee each year conducts an assessment of corporate and individual performance. Each officer’s individual performance is assessed on both individual business results and the demonstration of specific leadership qualities throughout the year. Evaluation of leadership qualities are assessed through the collection of reviews from both the officer’s subordinates and superiors. In the final step of the performance review process, an overall performance rating is assigned reflecting a balance of business results and demonstration of leadership.

The performance rating is used to determine actual pay for salary, bonus, and variable long-term incentive awards relative to the targets. The Committee has final authority over compensation decisions for senior vice presidents, and the full non-management board determines compensation for executive vice presidents and the Office of the Chairman.

The company’s executive compensation program has three primary tools: base salary, an annual bonus award, and variable long-term incentive stock awards. The program ties a large portion of each officer’s total compensation to performance over different time periods. To achieve a balanced result, Fannie Mae’s pay for performance approach provides a cash payment for achieving annual financial goals and stock based awards for medium and long-term performance generating increases in shareholder returns. This program is expressly designed not to put too much reliance on any one form of compensation.

Base Salary. Base salary for executive officers is determined principally by the Committee’s judgment as to the market for comparable positions, informed by an annual market comparability review conducted by its third party consultant. Final salary determinations also reflect individual performance, leadership, and experience level. In general, the Committee seeks to target annual total cash (salary plus bonus) to the 50th percentile of the comparative market.

Annual Incentive Plan. The Annual Incentive Plan puts a portion of each executive officer’s annual compensation at risk. Financialgoals established by the Board at the beginning of the year and achievement against these goals determine the funding of the bonus pool from which the actual bonuses are paid. For 2002, the corporate financial goal was an aggressive earnings per share (“EPS”) growth measure that Fannie Mae exceeded.

Variable Long-Term Incentive Awards. Variable long-term incentive awards are delivered in the form of stock options, and performance shares or restricted stock. All variable long-term incentive compensation programs are paid solely in Fannie Mae common stock, thereby reinforcing the shared interests of officers and shareholders. Officers at the senior vice president level and above receive half of the value of their annual variable long-term incentive award in the form of performance shares and half in the form of stock options.

Performance Shares. Performance shares are pay for performance incentive awards that compensate senior management for meeting performance objectives over a three-year period. Each year, the Committee establishes designated award periods (“cycles”) of three years. At the beginning of each cycle, at the Committee’s request, the Board establishes program targets based on both financial and non-financial goals. The financial goals currently are tied to growth in EPS and the non-financial goals are tied to Fannie Mae’s strategic plan. The Committee has established a scorecard to measure Fannie Mae’s achievement of the strategic plan in the following areas:

leadership in increasing access to affordable housing;
leading presence in the secondary mortgage market;
optimal interest rate, credit, and policy risk management;
development of a corporate culture to enhance strategy execution; and
development of an e-commerce infrastructure to increase capabilities and lower costs.

The EPS goals and the strategic goals are given equal weighting (i.e., 50 percent each) in determining award payout. The Committee determines actual achievement against these goals at the conclusion of each cycle. An actual award payout can range from 40 percent of the performance shares granted for threshold

17


achievement to 150 percent for goal achievement at maximum levels. No payment is made if achievement is below the pre-determined threshold. Fannie Mae exceeded the EPS growth goals established for the three-year performance share cycle that concluded in 2002. The Committee also determined that Fannie Mae met or exceeded each of the 2000-2002 performance share cycle’s strategic non-financial goals set forth above.

Stock Options. Stock Options link the interests of executives and shareholders by providing value to the executive only when the stock price increases over a number of years. Stock options vest over a four-year period at the rate of 25% per year and generally have a ten-year term. The number of stock options received by Fannie Mae executive officers is targeted, when combined with performance shares, to bring total compensation to the 65th percentile of the comparative market.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

All of the executive compensation processes and policies described above, are applied in setting the compensation and assessing the performance of Mr. Raines. In addition to the multi-rater feedback for all officers, all nonmanagement members of the Board participate in the review of Mr. Raines’ performance.

Without Mr. Raines present, the nonmanagement members of the Board discussed the Committee’s review of Mr. Raines’ performance for 2002. They assessed Mr. Raines’ performance against a broad range of leadership criteria including: strategic thinking, providing vision and direction, accelerating change, intellectual honesty, integrity, motivating and energizing people, teamwork and partnering, influencing ideas and initiatives, delivering results, valuing all people, and developing management. The Board considered feedback from subordinates and Board members obtained through the same survey instrument used to collect performance feedback for other officers. Mr. Raines’ performance also was measured against the financial and non-financial goals established for Fannie Mae’s strategic plan.

All of this information was used to make the performance-based compensation decisions for Mr. Raines. Overall, the Board concluded that the performance of Fannie Mae under Mr. Raines’leadership exceeded targets set in advance and met or exceeded that of comparable companies. The Committee specifically noted the following 2002 achievements in determining Mr. Raines’ compensation for 2002 and variable long-term incentive award grants:

record financial results;
record-breaking business volumes;
near record low credit losses;
strong portfolio margin performance and interest-rate risk management;
record service to underserved families— Fannie Mae passed the halfway mark of its ten-year, $2 trillion American Dream Commitment just three years after its launch;
Fannie Mae met each of the housing goals established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and its own goal to lead the market in service to minority families;
expansion of corporate transparency, through implementation of voluntary commitments and increased investor disclosures, including the voluntary commitment to register Fannie Mae’s common stock with the SEC;
investment in Fannie Mae’s future through the implementation of a new core technology infrastructure and development of new mortgage products and lender services; and
continued progress in Fannie Mae’s executive leadership initiatives, including development of a new officer performance assessment and management process.

The Committee’s specific 2002 compensation determinations with respect to Mr. Raines are as follows and are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table at page 24.

Base Salary. For 2002, the Board set Mr. Raines’ cash base salary at $992,250, unchanged since 2000, and slightly below the midpoint of the market. For the purposes of calculating his pension and life insurance benefits, however, the Board set a reference annual base salary for Mr. Raines at $1,093,956, reflecting a five percent increase over the prior year. Consistent with Fannie Mae’s pay for performance philosophy, the difference between Mr. Raines’ cash base salary and reference annual base salary is awarded as additional long-term, equity-based compensation.

Annual Bonus.For 2002, Mr. Raines’ annual bonus was determined against goals set at the

18


beginning of the year based on corporate financial performance for the year, measured by growth in EPS. Fannie Mae significantly exceeded that goal and Mr. Raines’ bonus for the year reflects his contributions to that performance.

Variable Long-Term Incentive Compensation.The information provided in the proxy statement on variable long-term compensation reflects two actions taken by the Committee. First, the Committee awarded the long-term incentive payouts reported in the Summary Compensation Table at page 24. These stock payouts reflect the achievement of performance share programs’ financial and strategic goals for multi-year periods.

Second, in line with Fannie Mae’s pay for performance goals and to continue to align Mr. Raines directly with the long-term interests ofshareholders, the Committee granted Mr. Raines performance shares for the three-year period beginning in January 2003 and stock options, vesting over four years, based on his performance evaluation. The awards are set forth in the tables at pages 25 and 26.

Conclusion

The Committee believes both the design of Fannie Mae’s plans and the actual total compensation levels described in this proxy statement reflect adherence to the Board of Directors’ obligations under the Charter Act and careful thinking about what is appropriate from both competitive and shareholder perspectives, and clearly reflect Fannie Mae’s compensation philosophy.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Report

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Fannie Mae Board of Directors is composed of four independent directors and operates under a written charter that was last approved by the Board in January 2003. At that time, Fannie Mae’s Board also approved a high standard of independence for directors, which is set forth in Fannie Mae’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, attached as Appendix B to this proxy statement. A substantial majority of the members of the Board meet the standard. Each member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently meets not only that standard, but also the enhanced independence requirements for audit committee members, which are also set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Duties and Responsibilities

Among its responsibilities, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee makes recommendations to the Board about individuals to be elected by the shareholders as Fannie Mae directors. The Committee also plays a leadership role in shaping Fannie Mae’s corporate governance.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met seven times in 2002. The Committee recommended 13 nominees for election as directors at the 2002 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. It also undertook a Corporate Governance Benchmarking Project, as discussed below.

Fannie Mae’s nonmanagement directors meet in executive session on a regular basis. In her role as the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Ms. McLaughlin Korologos establishes the agenda and serves as the presiding director for all meetings of the non-management directors.

Corporate Governance  Benchmarking Project

Fannie Mae has received high marks for the quality of its governance practices. For example, Standard & Poor’s issued Fannie Mae a corporate governance score of “9.0” on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the highest), after an extensive review of our corporate governance practices. Standard & Poor’s judged our corporate governance practices to be at “a very strong level on a global basis of comparison.” Fannie Mae also has strived consistently to enhance those practices in an effort to maintain the highest of standards.

To this end, in July 2002, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee undertook a Corporate Governance Benchmarking Project, consisting of a thorough review of Fannie Mae’s corporate governance practices. The Committee reviewed Fannie Mae’s practices in light of emerging requirements, including proposed corporate governance listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and best practices followed by other companies. The goal of the benchmarking project was to maintain and enhance a corporate governance framework for Fannie Mae that is best in class.

Based upon its review, the Committee determined that Fannie Mae already was operating under many best corporate governance practices. In January 2003, the Committee recommended enhanced corporate governance standards to the Fannie Mae Board, and the Board voted to approve these standards, which are reflected in:

a new set of Corporate Governance Guidelines;
updated charters for the Board’s Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees; and
an expanded Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Conflict of Interests Policy for Members of the Board of Directors.

These documents implement and strengthen Fannie Mae’s corporate governance practices. They are available on Fannie Mae’s Web site at www.fanniemae.com.

Interested parties wishing to communicate their concerns or questions about Fannie Mae to the Chairman of the Committee or to the non-management directors as a group may do so by electronic mail, to “board@fanniemae.com”, or by U.S. mail, to Non-Management Directors, c/o Office of the Secretary, Fannie Mae, Mailstop: 1H-2S/05, 3900 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20016-2892.

In the coming months, additional provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, a new law addressing regulation of accounting and corporate governance, and the corporate governance listing standards proposed by the New York Stock Exchange are expected to become final. WithFannie Mae’s fundamental corporate governance practices already in place, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is prepared to respond quickly upon approval of final rules and standards. The benchmarking project is ongoing, and its work is being updated periodically to enable Fannie Mae to maintain its position at the forefront of corporate governance best practices.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
This section discusses the principles underlying our compensation policies and decisions relating to our named executives for 2006 identified below.
• Daniel Mudd, President and Chief Executive Officer
• Robert Blakely, Executive Vice President (Chief Financial Officer—January 2006 to August 2007)
• Robert Levin, Executive Vice President and Chief Business Officer (Interim Chief Financial Officer—December 2004 to January 2006)
• Peter Niculescu, Executive Vice President—Capital Markets
• Beth Wilkinson, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary
• Michael Williams, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer
• Julie St. John, former Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer
What are the goals of our compensation program?
Our compensation philosophy provides that our compensation program should attract, retain, and reward the skilled talent needed to successfully manage a leading financial services company.
Compensation must also be consistent with the Charter Act, which requires that compensation be reasonable and comparable with the compensation of executives performing similar duties in similar businesses.
Consistent with our compensation philosophy and the Charter Act, our compensation program is designed to:
  • drive a “pay for performance” perspective that rewards company and individual performance, while supporting our mission to help more families achieve homeownership;
  • promote a long-term focus and align management’s and shareholders’ interests by providing a greater portion of compensation that is stock-based for more senior members of management;
  • foster compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and
  • provide compensation that is straightforward and easy to understand.
Our company goals for our cash bonuses under our annual incentive plan for 2006 are set forth below under “How did we determine the amount of each element of 2006 cash and stock compensation?
How does comparability factor into our executive compensation decisions?
Both the Charter Act and our compensation philosophy require that we consider comparability in setting executive compensation. We determine comparability by reviewing executive compensation practices of a group of high-quality, diversified financial services companies, which we refer to as our comparator group. Among this group, our earning assets are substantially larger than the median, but in many cases our operations are less diverse. These companies have pay practices similar to ours and we compete with them for executive talent. The members of the comparator group are initially identified by management with the assistance of its outside executive compensation consultant, Johnson Associates, Inc. The composition of the comparator group is then reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. In 2006, we used the same comparator group as we did in 2005.


33


The members of our comparator group for 2006 are identified in the table below.
AllstateCountrywideSunTrust Banks
American ExpressFreddie MacU.S. Bancorp
American International GroupJP Morgan ChaseWachovia
Bank of AmericaMetLifeWashington Mutual
Capital OneNational CityWells Fargo
CitigroupPrudential
For 2006 compensation, we used as a guideline the median, or 50th percentile, of the total of salary, bonus, and equity compensation paid at companies in our comparator group.
In determining an executive’s compensation, the Compensation Committee and Board were free to vary above or below the median if they determined it was appropriate as a result of factors such as the experience and expertise of the executive, our need for specific skill sets, and the executive’s performance. For particular positions, data from companies outside our comparator group were used to provide a broader perspective and ensure that we had a comprehensive view of the market for executives with certain specific skills or experience.
How do we use outside executive compensation consultants?
Management receives advice on executive compensation matters from the executive compensation consulting firm of Johnson Associates, Inc. Johnson Associates provides no other services to Fannie Mae.
The Board of Directors retains the executive compensation consulting firm of Semler Brossy Consulting Group to provide independent executive and board compensation information and advice. Semler Brossy provides no other services to Fannie Mae.
What were the elements of compensation for our named executives for 2006, and why did we pay those elements?
Compensation for our named executives for 2006 consisted of salaries, cash incentive bonuses, long-term incentive awards, employee benefits, and perquisites. We provided this compensation mix in order to maintain a competitive compensation program and to reinforce our corporate objectives. Salary was paid on a bi-weekly basis throughout the year, while annual bonuses and long-term incentive awards relating to 2006 performance were paid or granted in January 2007.
Salary, Bonuses, and Long-Term Incentive Awards.
• Salary is the basic cash compensation for the executive’s performance of his or her job responsibilities. It is intended to reflect the executive’s level of responsibility and individual performance over time.
• Annual cash incentive bonuses reward executives based on a combination of corporate and individual performance during the year measured against pre-established corporate goals and individual goals designed to align with the corporate goals. We also use sign-on bonuses or guaranteed first-year bonus minimums from time to time to recruit executives with critical skills.
• Long-term incentive awards are stock-based awards that vest over a period of years. For 2006 performance, these awards were delivered in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock units with a four-year vesting schedule. We believe that providing a significant portion of senior management compensation through long-term incentive awards based on our common stock and with a multi-year vesting schedule aligns the long-term interests of our senior management with those of our other shareholders, reinforcing a shared interest in company performance. Long-term incentive awards may also be used as sign-on bonuses to recruit executives.
Employee Benefits.  Our employee benefits are a fundamental part of our compensation program, and serve as an important tool in recruiting and retaining executives.
• Pension Benefits.  Our named executives participate in our Executive Pension Plan. This plan is a nonqualified, defined benefit plan that supplements the pension benefits payable to the named executive


34


under our tax-qualified pension plan, which is the “Retirement Plan,” discussed below under “Compensation Tables—Pension Benefits—Fannie Mae Retirement Plan.” The annual pension benefit (when combined with our Retirement Plan) for our Executive Vice Presidents equals 40%, and for our Chief Executive Officer equals 50%, of the executive’s highest average covered compensation earned during any 36 consecutive months within the last 120 months of employment. Covered compensation under the plan is limited to 150% of base salary for our Executive Vice Presidents and 200% of base salary for our Chief Executive Officer.
• A named executive is not entitled to receive a pension benefit under the Executive Pension Plan until the executive has completed five years of service as a plan participant, at which point the pension benefit becomes 50% vested and continues vesting at the rate of 10% per year during the next five years. We consider the Executive Pension Plan an important component of our executives’ total compensation and believe requiring ten years of service as a participant before full vesting serves as a significant retention tool. Our Executive Pension Plan is discussed in more detail below under “Compensation TablesPension Benefits.”
• Other Employee Benefits and Plans.  In general, named executives are eligible for the employee benefits available to our employee population as a whole, including our medical insurance plans, our 401(k) plan, and our matching gifts program. Named executives also are eligible to participate in programs we make available only to management employees at varying levels, including our elective deferred compensation plan.
• Severance benefits.  Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Business Officer are entitled to receive severance benefits under agreements we entered into with them, dated November 15, 2005 and June 19, 1990, respectively. During 2006, our named executives other than Mr. Mudd were eligible to receive severance benefits under certain circumstances pursuant to a severance program no longer available to them. See “Compensation Tables-Potential Payments Upon Termination orChange-in-Control.”
Perquisites.  In 2006, we provided our named executives relatively limited perquisites not available to our general employee population, based primarily on business needs. We also provided perquisites to the extent appropriate and reasonable for retaining and attracting executives. These perquisites, and recent changes we have made to eliminate or require reimbursement of certain perquisites, are discussed below under “How and why have we changed our policy on perquisites?
How do we look at salary, bonuses, and long-term incentive awards for 2006?
The following chart shows information about the salary, bonuses, and long-term incentive awards that were paid or granted to the named executives for 2006.

(2)This table reflects compensation decisions made for our named executives who were still employed by Fannie Mae in January 2007. Ms. St. John entered into a separation agreement with us in July 2006, and she retired from Fannie Mae in December 2006. Information regarding Ms. St. John’s 2006 compensation appears below in the “Compensation Tables—Summary Compensation Table for 2006.”

(3)These awards consist of restricted stock or restricted stock units. The dollar amounts are based on the average of the high and low trading prices of our common stock of $56.66 on January 25, 2007, the date of grant. Mr. Mudd is required to hold one-fifth of his grant (net of shares withheld to pay withholding taxes) until his employment with Fannie Mae is terminated. This is in addition to Mr. Mudd’s obligation to hold shares under Fannie Mae’s stock ownership guidelines.
(4)Includes a sign-on bonus of $800,000 paid in 2006 to Ms. Wilkinson when she joined us.
How did we determine the amount of each element of 2006 cash and stock compensation?
Overview of the Process for Determining Compensation.  The Board (or, in the case of Mr. Mudd, the independent members of the Board), based on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, determines compensation for our named executives. In making recommendations to the Board for 2006 compensation, the Compensation Committee considered our Chief Executive Officer’s assessment of our other named executives’ performance and his compensation recommendation for these executives. In making a recommendation to the Board for Mr. Mudd, the Compensation Committee considered an assessment of his performance by the Chairman of our Board, Mr. Mudd’s self-evaluation, and the results of a360-degree survey of his leadership qualities. In making decisions and recommendations, the Compensation Committee also considered the market data provided by the compensation consultants for management and the Board, the importance of each executive’s role in the company, competition for individuals with the experience and skill sets of each executive and related market factors, retention considerations, and the executive’s experience and contributions to the company as a whole during the preceding year.
In addition, the Compensation Committee considered the entire compensation package for each named executive, taking into account—through review of a summary sheet—the named executive’s outstanding stock options, restricted shares, and performance share balances; existing severance arrangements with the executive, if any; and other benefits (such as life insurance, pension plan participation, and health benefits) available to the executive.
Determination of Salaries, Bonus, and Long-Term Incentive Awards
• Salaries.  The Board established salaries for Mr. Mudd, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Levin in November 2005 in connection with their appointments to their current positions. None of these three named executives received any increase in salary for 2006. Salaries for Mr. Blakely and Ms. Wilkinson were determined by the Board in connection with their hires. Mr. Niculescu’s and Ms. St. John’s salaries were increased in 2006 based on their performance, our company-wide budget for salary increases, and market-based information regarding compensation paid for executives with similar roles and responsibilities.
• Annual Incentive Plan Cash Bonuses.  The amount of an annual incentive plan cash bonus paid to a named executive depends on the company’s and the named executive’s performance measured against pre-established corporate and individual performance goals. During 2006, we engaged in a significant restatement of prior period financial statements and made an extensive effort to comply with the terms of the OFHEO Consent Order and to address a number of operational, policy, and infrastructure issues. As a result of the need to restate prior period financial statements, we had no reliable GAAP-compliant financial statements for recent periods. In light of these circumstances, our Board established the following set of performance goals, which focused on successfully operating the business while undertaking significant initiatives to address our financial reporting and compliance issues:
  • Regulation and Restatement.  Stabilize the company by (a) building strong and productive relationships with regulators; (b) restating prior period financial statements; (c) managing capital surplus; and (d) building relationships with investors;
  • Business Results.  Optimize the company’s business model and generate shareholder value through key initiatives;
  • Mission Results.  Fulfill our affordable housing mission goals by increasing liquidity to make U.S. housing more affordable and making an impact in highly disadvantaged communities;


36


  • Operations and Controls.  Instill operational discipline into all functions, resulting in stronger processes, reduced risk, and compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements; and
  • Customers and Employees.  Renew the company’s culture to achieve the company’s objectives by (a) demonstrating service, engagement, accountability, and good management; (b) reenergizing diversity programs; and (c) renewing our people strategy.
Achievement of these corporate performance goals affected cash bonuses for management-level employees throughout Fannie Mae, except for employees in our internal audit and compliance and ethics departments. These employees’ bonuses were subject to the achievement of goals tailored to their departments’ unique roles.
In conjunction with the establishment of corporate performance goals, in April 2006 the Compensation TablesCommittee approved individual bonus award targets for each named executive. Award targets for Mr. Mudd, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Levin were unchanged from those set in November 2005. The potential bonus that could have been paid to each named executive at the target level of achievement against the corporate and individual goals for 2006 is shown in the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table under “Compensation Tables” below. Payment significantly above target would occur only in a year in which both the company and the individual performed exceptionally well against goals.
In 2006, management provided the Compensation Committee with a mid-year update on progress against the corporate performance goals. In January 2007, the Compensation Committee, with input from other Board committees, evaluated corporate performance against the corporate performance goals and determined that corporate performance for 2006 was at 110% of target.
For 2006, the Compensation Committee considered that Fannie Mae, among other achievements:
  • made progress toward our stability goal by resolving outstanding investigations by governmental agencies;
  • achieved our restatement goal by filing our 2004Form 10-K and restating prior period financials;
  • successfully launched several major strategic business initiatives;
  • restructured several business functions, including technology and operations, to improve efficiency and generate cost savings;
  • made progress on building out controls and instilling operational discipline; and
  • met our housing goals in a difficult environment.
While the Compensation Committee assesses each goal separately, it does not follow a pre-established formula for assigning a weight to the corporate performance goals.
The Board (and, in the case of Mr. Mudd, the independent members of the Board) then determined, based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the individual bonus amounts for each named executive based on the officer’s individual performance. These amounts are shown in the “Summary Compensation Table” under “Compensation Tables” below.
• Long-Term Incentive Awards.  Our compensation philosophy generally results in a greater portion of our named executives’ compensation being stock-based than at companies in our comparator group. For 2006 performance, the Board and the Compensation Committee determined that, in light of Fannie Mae’s not being a current SEC filer, long-term incentive awards would be in the form of restricted shares of Fannie Mae common stock or restricted stock units. In January 2007, the Board and the Compensation Committee approved awards with the values shown above in the table titled “Compensation Paid or Granted for 2006.” These awards vest in four equal annual installments beginning in January 2008.
Is there any regulatory oversight of our compensation process?
Yes, our regulator, OFHEO, has a role in the compensation of our named executives and certain other officers identified by OFHEO. As long as the Fannie Mae Capital Restoration Plan is in effect, we must obtain OFHEO approval for non-salary compensation actions that relate to this group of executives. In addition,


37


OFHEO must approve any termination benefits we wish to offer to this group of executives. We also notify OFHEO of all compensation programs intended primarily for executives.
What are our practices for determining when we grant equity awards?
All restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards to senior executives, including the named executives, are granted on the date of approval by the Board or Compensation Committee or, if later, on the date the executive commences employment with us. We made one exception to this practice, and that exception was designed to assure that the number of shares of restricted stock or units of restricted stock our executives received as an equity award in 2006 would be the smaller of two possible amounts. Specifically, in February 2006, the Board was aware that the report by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP on the results of its review of Fannie Mae would be released in the near future. The tablesBoard also was aware that, depending on pages 24 to 26 profilethe content of the report, its release could result in a change in the market value of Fannie Mae’s compensation forstock. The Board therefore structured the annual awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units to senior executives in a manner that would ensure that senior executives would receive the appropriate value in shares. To accomplish this, each equity award was made in a dollar-denominated amount, with the number of shares or units granted equal to the smaller of two amounts: (1) the dollar amount of the award divided by the trading price of Fannie Mae’s common stock at the time the award was approved and (2) the dollar amount of the award divided by the average trading price during the five trading days following the filing of our nextForm 12b-25. Because theForm 12b-25 filing included a summary of the results of the report of Paul, Weiss report, our Board’s decision to defer the determination of the number of shares or units granted to our executives ensured that the results of the Paul, Weiss report would be publicly available prior to the date on which the applicable trading price of our common stock was determined.
Stock awards to employees below the level of Senior Vice President are allocated by the Chief Executive Officer pursuant to a delegation from the Compensation Committee. We are not currently granting stock options to employees and its fourdo not expect to grant options before we become a current SEC filer.
What are our stock ownership requirements?
We encourage our directors, officers, and other most highly compensatedemployees to own our common stock in order to align their interests with the interests of shareholders. We also require our officers above the level of vice president to own our common stock.
Our Chief Executive Officer is required to hold shares of our common stock with a value equal to five times his base salary. In addition, our Chief Executive Officer’s long-term incentive award for 2006 included a separate stock ownership requirement described above in footnote 2 to the “Compensation Paid or Granted for 2006” table. Our other named executives are required to hold our common stock with a value equal to three times base salary. Common stock held to meet the ownership requirements may be in the form of restricted stock, restricted stock units, or deferred shares.
Our Chief Executive Officer and other named executives have five years from the time of appointment to reach the required ownership level. In addition to our stock ownership requirements, our officers are prohibited from purchasing and selling derivative securities related to our equity securities, including warrants, puts, and calls, or from dealing in any derivative securities other than pursuant to our stock-based benefit plans.
How and why have we changed our policy on perquisites?
Historically, we have provided a limited number of perquisites to our named executives, and in February 2007, we further limited the perquisites we provide. During 2006, Fannie Mae provided the named executives with perquisites that included a financial counseling benefit, personal use of certain of Fannie Mae’s cars and drivers, excess personal liability insurance, annual physical exams, executive officers (the “covered executives”),life insurance, airline club memberships, and dining services, as well as taxgross-ups related to the excess personal liability and life insurance benefit. In addition, all members of our Board of Directors, including salariesMr. Mudd, participated in the Director’s Charitable Award program. We have also agreed to reimburse Mr. Mudd’s legal expenses incurred in connection with any subsequent negotiation, amendment, and bonuses, option grantsdiscussion of his employment agreement.


38


In February 2007, we evaluated these perquisites and exercises,eliminated the following:
  • reimbursement for financial counseling—effective July 1, 2007;
  • use of company transportation for any non-business purpose without reimbursement—effective January 1, 2007;
  • personal use of company-owned memberships at country clubs—effective January 1, 2008;
  • excess liability insurance—effective January 1, 2008 for all officers and March 1, 2007 for any person who became an officer on or after that date; and
  • the tax“gross-up” to cover taxes due on any excess liability insurance or life insurance that we provided to officers—effective January 1, 2008.
Our policy provides that perquisites should be based on business needs, and that existing perquisites should be evaluated from time to time and eliminated if no longer appropriate.
What decisions have we made with regard to our Performance Share Program?
Prior to 2005, we had a practice of granting awards under our performance share awards. Awards madeprogram, or PSP. These awards entitled executives to receive shares of common stock based upon our meeting corporate financial and qualitative performance objectives over three-year periods, or “performance cycles.” In early 2005, in light of our need to restate our financial results and our lack of current financial statements, our Board determined that it was not appropriate at that time to begin a new performance cycle under the PSP. For similar reasons, the Board did not begin a new performance cycle in 2006 and has not begun a new performance cycle in 2007.
Under our PSP, in January of each year the Compensation Committee generally determined our achievement of corporate performance objectives measured against the goals for the three-year performance cycle that ended in the prior year. The level of achievement determined the payout of the performance shares and the shares were paid out to executives in two annual installments. As of early 2005, we had paid the first installment, but not the second installment, of PSP awards for the2001-2003 performance cycle. For the reasons stated above, the Board determined in early 2005 to defer the payout of the second installment of the2001-2003 performance cycle and to defer the determination of the2002-2004 performance cycle.
After we restated our prior period financial statements and completed our 2004 financial statements, on February 15, 2007, our Board reviewed qualitative and quantitative analyses of our performance from 2001 to 2004. Based on these assessments, our Board determined that:
  • the first installment of shares that was paid in January 2004 exceeded the amount due for the 2001- 2003 performance cycle,
  • the unpaid second installment of the award for the2001-2003 performance cycle should not be paid, and
  • no payouts would be made under the2002-2004 performance cycle.
On June 15, 2007, our Board reviewed available quantitative and qualitative analyses of our performance from 2003 are reportedto 2006. Based on its review, the Board made a decision to pay awards for the2003-2005 performance cycle at 40% of the original target award and decided to pay awards for the2004-2006 performance cycle at 47.5% of the original target award. The highest level at which awards for these two cycles could have been paid if performance met or exceeded the maximum objectives was 150% of the original target award. These payouts reflect the Board’s determination that our performance during these cycles with respect to the financial goals did not meet threshold performance levels and our performance during these cycles with respect to the qualitative goals was between the threshold and target performance levels.
The table below shows the number of shares of common stock to which each named executive who was employed by Fannie Mae as compensation for 2002.of December 31, 2006 is entitled based upon the Board’s final determination on September 18, 2007. The shares will be paid in the future.

(3)Mr. Blakely and Ms. Wilkinson did not receive awards under the PSP because they joined Fannie Mae in 2006.
What is our compensation recoupment policy?
Under the OFHEO Consent Order, we have agreed that any new employment contracts with named executives will include an escrow of certain payments if OFHEO or any other agency has communicated allegations of misconduct concerning the named executive’s official duties at Fannie Mae and OFHEO has directed us to escrow such funds. In addition, we have agreed to include appropriate provisions in new employment agreements to address terminations for cause and recovery of compensation paid to executives where there are proven allegations of misconduct. All future employment agreements with named executives will contain these provisions.
What written agreements do we have with our named executives that provide for continued employment?
On November 15, 2005, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Mudd, effective June 1, 2005 when he was appointed our President and Chief Executive Officer. We entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Levin, dated June 19, 1990, that provides for severance in connection with a termination without “cause.” The severance benefits provided under these agreements are described below under “Compensation Tables—Potential Payments Upon Termination orChange-in-Control.”

(1)Mr. Mudd is entitled to a minimum base salary of $950,000 under his employment agreement. “Salary” for Mr. Blakely includes $275,000 he elected to defer to later years.
 
“Salary” includes(2)Except as otherwise noted, amounts reported in the “Bonus” column do not include amounts earned under our annual salaryincentive plan, which are shown in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column. In 2007, Mr. Blakely was awarded a total bonus of $1,290,575 under our annual incentive plan, which he deferred to later years. Of this amount, we guaranteed him in connection with his joining Fannie Mae a minimum bonus of $926,250 for 2006, which we have reported in the “Bonus” includescolumn. Ms. Wilkinson was awarded a total bonus of $1,147,988 under our annual incentive plan for 2007. Of this amount, Ms. Wilkinson was guaranteed to receive $948,750 in connection with her joining Fannie Mae. We have reported the guaranteed amount, along with an $800,000 sign-on bonus Ms. Wilkinson received, in the “Bonus” column.
(3)These amounts accrued underrepresent the Annual Incentive Plandollar amounts we recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to 2006 for the fair value of restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance shares granted during 2006 and in prior years in accordance with SFAS 123R. As required by SEC rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions and do not reflect the impact of Ms. St. John’s actual forfeiture of 27,931 shares of restricted stock and performance shares upon her departure from Fannie Mae in December 2006. As a result of the Board’s decision to pay out awards at 40% for 2001,the 2003-2005 performance cycle and at 47.5% for the 2004-2006 performance cycle, we reversed expenses we previously recorded based on our estimate that awards would be paid out at 50%. To the extent these expenses were recorded prior to 2006, the amounts above do not reflect the reversal of these expenses.
The SFAS 123R grant date fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units is calculated as the average of the high and low trading price of our common stock on the date of grant. Because performance shares do not participate in dividends during the three-year performance cycle and include a cap on the market value to be paid equal to three times the grant date market value, the SFAS 123R grant date fair value of performance shares is calculated as the market value on date of grant, less the present value of expected dividends over the three-year performance period discounted at the risk-free rate, less the value of shares the covered executivesthree-times cap based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

(4)These amounts represent the dollar amounts we recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to 2006 for the fair value of stock option awards granted during 2004 and in prior years in accordance with SFAS 123R. No named executive has received a stock option award since January 2004. As required by SEC rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. For the assumptions used in calculating the value of these awards, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Stock-Based Compensation,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
(5)The reported amounts represent change in pension value.
(6)The table below shows more information about the components of the “All Other Compensation” column. The Charitable Award Program amounts reflect a matching contribution program under which an employee who contributes at certain levels to the 2001 SpecialFannie Mae Political Action Committee may direct that an equal amount, up to $5,000, be donated by Fannie Mae to charities chosen by the employee in the employee’s name. Mr. Mudd’s “Charitable Award Program. “Other AnnualProgram” amount consists of $5,000 under this matching program plus $15,447 for our incremental cost of his participation in our charitable award program for directors, which is described below under “Director Compensation Information.” We calculated our incremental cost of each director’s participation in our charitable award program for directors based on (1) the present value of our expected future payment of the benefit that became vested during 2006, and (2) the time value during 2006 of amounts vested for that director in prior years. We estimated the present values of our expected future payment based on the age and gender of our directors, the RP 2000 white collar mortality table projected to 2010, and a discount rate of approximately 5.5%. Ms. St. John’s “Payments in Connection with Termination of Employment” shown in the table below consist of: $794,463 in severance payments, $943,035 in a 2006 annual incentive plan cash bonus award, and $18,000 for outplacement services. Under the terms of her separation agreement, Ms. St. John received a bonus equal to a prorated share of her target bonus adjusted for corporate performance. In addition to the amounts shown in the “Certain Components of All Other Compensation” fortable below, Mr. Raines in 2002Williams’ “All Other Compensation” includes $37,225 forour incremental cost of providing tax counseling, and financial planning services, and $38,307 for the personal use of company transportation that has been imputed to Mr. Raines as income for tax purposes. For Mr. Mudd, “Other Annual Compensation” in 2000 includes $264,565 for reimbursement of taxes in connection with his relocation from Tokyo, Japan to Washington, D.C.

(2)Because restricted common stock is held in escrow until vested, as of December 31, 2002, Equiserve Trust Company, N.A., acting as escrow agent, held 15,000 shares of unvested restricted common stock for Mr. Mudd, subject to a vesting schedule through February 2005 with an aggregate value of $964,950. Dividends are paid on restricted common stock at the same rate as the dividends paid on Fannie Mae’s common stock.

(3)“All Other Compensation” for each covered executive in 2002 includes a $6,000 employer matching contributiondining services. Amounts shown under the Retirement Savings Plan for Employees. “All OtherCompensation” for 2002 also includes an amount allocated to the premiums paid by Fannie Mae for the term life portion of split-dollar life insurance coverage and an amount equal to the estimated value of the total premiums paid by Fannie Mae for the split-dollar insurance coverage, as follows: Mr. Raines, $2,144 and $14,247; Mr. Mudd, $744 and $1,850; Ms. Gorelick, $1,254 and $7,360; Mr. Howard, $630 and $4,608; and Mr. Levin, $364 and $2,472. Each Fannie Mae officer (other than Mr. Raines, Mr. Mudd, and Ms. Gorelick) has coverage based on annual salary. The coverage for Mr. Raines, Mr. Mudd, and Ms. Gorelick each equals approximately two times salary. Fannie Mae also has provided to Mr. Raines an additional term life insurance benefit in the amount of $900,000, with an annual premium allocated to Mr. Raines of $882. “All Other Compensation” also includes premiums of $975 paid on behalf of each covered executive in 2002 for excess liability insurance coverage. For Mr. Mudd,do not include gifts made by the 2000 amount includes $340,164 for hiring costs and reimbursement of expenses in connection with his relocation from Tokyo, Japan to Washington, D.C.
(4)As announced by Fannie Mae on January 10, 2003, Ms. Gorelick will leaveFoundation under its matching gifts program, under which gifts made by our employees and directors to 501(c)(3) charities are matched, up to an aggregate total of $10,500 in any calendar year. No amounts are included for this program because the matching gifts are made by the Fannie Mae on June 30, 2003.Foundation, not Fannie Mae.

(1)The “Grant Date” column shows the grant date for equity awards determined for financial statement reporting purposes pursuant to SFAS 123R. The “Award Approval Date” column shows the date our Board approved the equity awards. On February 8, 2006, our Board approved restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards for which the final number of shares could not be determined until March 22, 2006, which is the grant date for these awards. These grants are discussed in more detail above in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—What are our practices for determining when we grant equity awards?” The other equity awards listed in the table above reflect a grant date equal to the executive’s starting date with Fannie Mae.
(2)The amounts shown are the target amounts established by our Board for 2006 performance under our Annual Incentive Plan. The amount paid to a named executive is based on Fannie Mae’s and the individual’s performance against corporate and individual pre-established goals. Our Board and Compensation Committee also retain discretion to pay bonuses in amounts below or above the amount derived from measuring performance against corporate and individual goals. It is expected that performance against corporate goals will normally be in the range of 75% to 125% of target. For 2006, the Board determined that corporate performance was 110% of the corporate target. Based on a combination of 2006 corporate and individual performance, Mr. Mudd received a bonus of 134% of his target, Mr. Blakely a bonus of 105% of his target, Mr. Levin a bonus of 127% of his target, Mr. Niculescu a bonus of 116% of his target, Ms. Wilkinson a bonus of 121% of her target, and Mr. Williams a bonus of 132% of his target. Ms. St. John received a prorated bonus based on 110% of her target under the terms of her separation agreement based solely on corporate performance. The amounts actually awarded are reported as “Bonus” and “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” in the Summary Compensation Table, as explained in footnote 2 to that table.
(3)Consists of restricted stock or restricted stock units awarded under the 2003 Plan. The amounts shown for Messrs. Mudd, Levin, Niculescu, and Williams represent stock that vests in four equal annual installments beginning in March 2007. Similarly, Ms. St. John received restricted stock that would have vested in the same manner. However, upon her retirement, Ms. St. John received accelerated vesting of the first installment of these shares, and forfeited the balance of these shares. The amount shown for Ms. Wilkinson represents stock that vests in three equal annual installments beginning in February 2007. As the holder of restricted stock the named executive has the rights and privileges of a shareholder as to the restricted common stock, other than the ability to sell or otherwise transfer it, including the right to receive any dividends declared with respect to the stock and the right to provide instructions on how to vote.
For Mr. Blakely, the amounts shown are restricted stock units, which represent the right to receive a share of unrestricted common stock for each unit upon vesting. The grant of 10,000 units vests in three equal annual installments beginning in January 2007 and the grant of 61,611 units vests in four equal annual installments beginning in March 2007. Because he is already 65, Mr. Blakely’s restricted stock units will vest fully upon his retirement from Fannie Mae. As the holder of restricted stock units, Mr. Blakely receives dividend equivalents on the units, but does not have the right to vote, sell or otherwise transfer the stock represented by the units until the restrictions lapse and shares are issued.

(4)The SFAS 123R grant date fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards is calculated as the average of the high and low trading price of our common stock on the date of grant.
Outstanding Equity Awards at 2006 Fiscal Year-End

The market value of option and stock awards program for its officers, which also includes performance shares as described belowshown in the Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards Table. The valuetable below is based on a per share price of stock options depends upon a long-term increase in$59.39, which was the closing market price of theour common stock. If the stock price does not increase, the options will be worthless; if the stock price does increase, the increase will benefit all shareholders.on December 29, 2006.

(2)The “Grant Date Present Value” numbers in the table were derived by application of a variation of the Black-Scholes option pricingmodel. The following assumptions were used in the model:

an exercise price on the option equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant;
an option term of ten years and an interest rate of 3.97 percent, which represents the interest rate on a U.S. Treasury security with a maturity date corresponding to that of the option term;
volatility of 31.87 percent, calculated using 5-year weekly volatility prior to the grant date; and
current dividends at the rate of $1.56 per share, representing the annualized dividends paid with respect to a share of common stock and representing a constant percentage of 2.25 percent at the date of grant.

Notes to Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards Table

(1)Contingent grants of performance shares were made as part of Fannie Mae’s variable long-term awards program on January 21, 2003 for the 2003-2005 cycle, for which distributions will be made in 2006 and 2007. Actual awards range from 40 percent to 150 percent of a participant’s performance shares based on equally weighted goals for growth in EPS and performance in strategic areas. If Fannie Mae does not meet the requirement to achieve 40 percent awards, no award will be paid. The value of an actual award depends on the level of achievement and thevalue of Fannie Mae’sour common stock at the endtime of exercise and the per share exercise price of the cycle. options.

Fannie Mae Pension Benefits
The table below sets forth information on the pension benefits for the named executives under each of the pension plans described below.
Retirement Plans

Fannie Mae Retirement PlanPlan.

The Federal National Mortgage Association Retirement Plan for Employees Not Covered Under Civil Service Retirement Law, (the “Fannie Maewhich we refer to as the Retirement Plan”)Plan, provides benefits for those eligible employees, including the named executives, who are not covered by the federal Civil Service retirement law. Normal retirement benefits are computed on a single life basis using a formula based on final average annual earnings and years of credited service. Participants are fully vested when they complete five years of credited service. In addition, the Fannie Mae Retirement Plan is coordinated with Social Security Covered Compensation as defined in Internal Revenue Service regulations. Since 1989, provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, have limited the amount of annual compensation that may be used for calculating pension benefits and the annual benefit that may be paid. For 2002,2006, the statutory compensation and benefit caps were $200,000$220,000 and $160,000, respectively, and they remain unchanged for 2003.$175,000, respectively. Before 1989, some employees accrued benefits based on higher income levels. For employees who retire before age 65, benefits are reduced by stated percentages for each year that they are younger than 65.


48

The covered executives have approximately the following years of credited service: Mr. Levin, 22 years; Mr. Howard, 21 years; Mr. Raines, 11 years; Ms. Gorelick, 6 years; and Mr. Mudd, 3 years.

The benefits under the Fannie Mae Retirement Plan are not subject to deductions for social security benefits or other offset amounts.

Supplemental Pension Plans

Fannie Mae adopted the Supplemental Pension Plan to provide supplemental retirement benefits to employees who do not participate in the Executive Pension Plan and whose salary exceeds the statutory compensation cap applicable to the Fannie Mae Retirement Plan or whose benefit under the Fannie Mae Retirement Plan is limited by the statutory benefit cap applicable to that Plan. Fannie Mae adopted the 2003 Supplemental Pension Plan to provide similar additional benefits to Fannie Mae officers based on the annual cash bonus received by an officer, but limited to  50 percent of the officer’s salary.

The benefits under the Fannie Mae supplemental pension plans are not subject to deductions for social security benefits or other offset amounts.

The following table shows the estimated annual benefits that are payable under the Fannie Mae Retirement Plan and, if applicable, the supplemental pension plans to an employee who does not participate in the Executive Pension Plan and who turned 65 and retired on January 1, 2003, using years of service accrued through January 1, 2003.

(Paymentsour Executive Vice Presidents and 200% of base salary for Mr. Mudd. As a result, Mr. Mudd’s maximum annual benefit under the Executive Pension Plan is 100% of his salary. The other named executives could receive a maximum annual benefit equal to 60% of salary. Effective for benefits earned over multiyear periods are allocated equally overon and after March 1, 2007, the years.)

only taxable compensation other than base salary considered for the purpose of calculating covered compensation is a participant’s annual incentive plan cash bonus.

Participants who retire before age 60 generally receive a reduced benefit. Participants typically vest fullyThe benefit is reduced by 2% for each year between the year in theirwhich benefit payments begin and the year in which the participant turns 60. However, Mr. Mudd’s employment agreement provides that his benefit will be reduced by 3% for each year. A participant is not entitled to receive a pension benefit after ten years of Fannie Mae service as a participant inunder the Executive Pension Plan with partialuntil the participant has completed five years of service as a plan participant, at which point the pension benefit becomes 50% vested and continues vesting usually beginning afterat the rate of 10% per year during the next five years. The benefit payment typically is a monthly amount equal to 1/12th of the participant’s annual retirement benefit payable during the lives of the participant and the participant’s surviving spouse. If a participant dies before receiving benefits under the Executive Pension Plan, generally his or her surviving spouse will be entitled to a death benefit that begins when the spouse reaches age 55, based on the participant’s pension benefit at the date of death.
Supplemental Pension Plans.  We adopted the Supplemental Pension Plan to provide supplemental retirement benefits to employees whose salary exceeds the statutory compensation cap applicable to the Retirement Plan or whose benefit under the Retirement Plan is limited by the statutory benefit cap applicable to the Retirement Plan. Separately, we adopted the 2003 Supplemental Pension Plan to provide additional benefits to our officers based on their annual cash bonuses, which are not taken into account under the Supplemental Pension Plan. Benefits under the supplemental pension plans vest at the same time as benefits under the Retirement Plan. For purposes of determining benefits under the 2003 Supplemental Pension Plan, the amount of an officer’s annual cash bonus taken into account is limited to 50% of the officer’s base salary. Benefits under the supplemental pension plans typically commence at the same time as benefits under the Retirement Plan. Officers who are eligible for the Executive Pension Plan will receive the greater of their Executive Pension Plan or combined Supplemental Pension Plan and 2003 Supplemental Pension Plan benefits.

Estimated annual

The table below shows information about years of credited service and the present value of accumulated benefits for each named executive under each of our pension plans. The Executive Pension Plan supplements the benefits payable upon retirement, assuming that Fannie Mae’s corporate performance causes participants’ other compensation to equal or exceed 50 percent of annual base salary and full vesting at normal retirement age,named executives under the Retirement Plan; amounts are shown for each ofboth these plans in the covered executivesare as follows:table. Amounts are not shown for our supplemental pension plans, except for Mr. Raines (60 percent pension benefit), $1,037,727; Mr. Mudd (50 percent pension benefit), $537,098; Ms. Gorelick (50 percent pension benefit), $537,098; Mr. Howard (40 percent pension benefit), $375,000; and Mr. Levin (40 percent pension benefit), $345,000.

Employment Arrangements

Fannie Mae’s employment agreementsBlakely, because no benefits would be paid under these plans if a named executive’s benefit under the Executive Pension Plan, together with Mr. Raines, Mr. Mudd, and Ms. Gorelick end on June 30, 2003, June 30, 2003, and April 30, 2003, respectively. Under the agreements,named executive’s benefit under the Retirement Plan, exceeded his or her current salary may not be reduced,combined benefits under the supplemental plans and the agreements mayRetirement Plan. At the time that most of our executives retire, the Executive Pension Plan will pay a greater benefit. As a result, we included only the values that would be extendedpayable under the Retirement Plan and the Executive Pension Plan. Because Mr. Blakely has advised us of his intention to retire from Fannie Mae before 2011, when he first becomes entitled to receive benefits under the Executive Pension Plan, his benefits will be greater under our supplemental plans and, as a result, we have included values for additional periods. The Board expects to enter into new agreements with Mr. RainesBlakely under those plans rather than under our Executive Pension Plan.

(1)Mr. Levin, Mr. Niculescu, Mr. Williams, and Ms. St. John each have fewer years of credited service under the Executive Pension Plan than under the Retirement Plan because they worked at Fannie Mae prior to becoming participants in the Executive Pension Plan.
(2)The present value has been calculated for the Executive Pension Plan assuming the named executives will remain in service until age 60, the normal retirement age under the Executive Pension Plan, and assuming the named executives will remain in service until age 65, the normal retirement age under the Retirement Plan. The values also assume that benefits under the Executive Pension Plan will be paid in the form of a monthly annuity for the life of the named executive and the named executive’s surviving spouse and benefits under the Retirement Plan will be paid in the form of a single life monthly annuity for the life of the named executive. The post-retirement mortality assumption is based on the RP 2000 white collar mortality table projected to 2010. For additional information regarding the calculation of present value and the assumptions underlying these amounts, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14, Employee Retirement Benefits,” of our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

(3)Mr. Mudd’s employment agreement provides that if Mr. Mudd’s benefit payments are in the form of a joint and 100% survivor annuity, the payments will be actuarially reduced to reflect the joint life expectancy of Mr. Mudd and his spouse.
(4)Mr. Blakely is eligible for retirement under our supplemental pension plans and the Retirement Plan. Ms. St. John was eligible for early retirement under the Executive Pension Plan and the Retirement Plan.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
The table below provides information on the nonqualified deferred compensation of the named executives in 2006, including compensation deferred under our Elective Deferred Compensation Plan II, our Career Deferred Compensation Plan and our Performance Share Program.
Elective Deferred Compensation Plans.  Our Elective Deferred Compensation Plan II allows eligible employees, including our named executives, to defer up to 50% of their salary and up to 100% of their bonus to future years, as determined by the named executive. Deferred amounts are deemed to be invested in mutual funds or in an investment option with earnings benchmarked to our long-term borrowing rate, as designated by the participants. The deferred compensation plan is an unfunded plan. The Elective Deferred Compensation Plan II applies to compensation that is deferred after December 31, 2004.
The prior deferred compensation plan, the Elective Deferred Compensation Plan I, continues to operate for compensation deferred under that plan on or prior to June 30, 2003.

Among other things, the agreements provide that if the officer is terminated other than for cause, is not nominated for electionDecember 31, 2004. Similar to the BoardElective Deferred Compensation Plan II, the Elective Deferred Compensation Plan I provides that deferred amounts are deemed to be invested in mutual funds or in an investment option with earnings benchmarked to our long-term borrowing rate, as designated by the participants, and is an unfunded plan.

Career Deferred Compensation Plan.  Our Career Deferred Compensation Plan allowed participants to defer compensation until their retirement. The plan is frozen to new participants and, while accounts continue to be credited with rates of Directors,return, no further contributions can be made to the plan. The Career Deferred Compensation Plan is removed fromfunded by a rabbi trust, a special type of trust the assets of which are subject to the claims of our creditors.
Deferred Payments under PSP.  We have adopted guidelines under the 1993 Plan that permit participants in the PSP to defer payment of their awards until a later date or a specified event such as retirement. Under these guidelines, participants can choose to have their deferred PSP payments converted into a hypothetical investment portfolio.

Potential Payments Upon Termination orChange-in-Control
The information below describes and quantifies certain compensation and benefits that would become payable under our existing employment agreements, plans, and arrangements if our named executives’ employment had terminated on December 29, 2006, taking into account each named executive’s compensation and service levels as of that date and based on the closing price of our common stock on December 29, 2006. We are not obligated to provide any additional compensation in connection with achange-in-control. The information below does not generally reflect compensation and benefits available to all salaried employees upon termination of employment with us under similar circumstances.
Employment Agreement with Daniel Mudd.  Mr. Mudd’s employment agreement provides for certain benefits upon the termination of his employment with us depending on the reason for his termination. These benefits are described in the following table.
 Type of TerminationPayments
Without “Cause,” By Mr. Mudd For “Good Reason,” Serious Illness or Disability, or “Failure to Extend” the Employment Agreement

“Cause” means Mr. Mudd has: (a) materially harmed the company by, in connection with his service under his employment agreement, engaging in dishonest or fraudulent actions or willful misconduct, or performing his duties in a grossly negligent manner, or (b) been convicted of, or pleaded no lo contendere with respect to, a felony.

“Good Reason” means (a) a material reduction by the company of Mr. Mudd’s authority or a material change in Mr. Mudd’s functions, duties or responsibilities that in any material way would cause Mr. Mudd’s position to become less important, (b) a reduction in Mr. Mudd’s base salary, (c) a requirement that Mr. Mudd report to anyone other than the Chairman of the Board of Directors, (d) a requirement by Fannie Mae that Mr. Mudd relocate his office outside of the Washington, DC area, or (e) a breach by the company of any material obligation under the employment agreement.

“Failure to Extend” means notification by the company that it does not desire to extend the term of the employment agreement (which expires December 31, 2009) or that it desires to do so only on terms in the aggregate that are materially less favorable to Mr. Mudd than those currently applicable.
— Accrued, but unpaid base salary.

— Base salary for two years (subject to offset for other employment or employer-provided disability payments in the event of termination due to serious illness or disability).

— Prorated annual bonus for the year of termination and all amounts payable (but unpaid) under the annual bonus plan with respect to any year ended on or prior to the termination date.

— Prorated PSP payment for any cycle in which at least 18 months have elapsed as of the date of termination and payment of all amounts payable (but unpaid) for completed cycles.

— Vesting of all shares of restricted stock, to the extent not already vested.

— Vesting of all options; options granted after the date of the employment agreement remain exercisable through the earlier of the remainder of the original exercise period and the third anniversary of the date of the termination.

— Upon a termination by Fannie Mae without Cause or by Mr. Mudd for Good Reason, continued medical and dental coverage for Mr. Mudd and his spouse and dependents (but in the case of Mr. Mudd’s dependents only for so long as they remain dependents or until age 21 if later), without premium payments by Mr. Mudd, for two years or if earlier, the date Mr. Mudd obtains comparable coverage through another employer.

 Death or by Reason of Mr. Mudd’s Acceptance of an Appointment to a Senior Position in the U.S. Federal Government
— Same payments as above except (a) no salary severance, (b) no continued medical and dental coverage, and (c) in the case of termination due to acceptance of a governmental position, no accelerated vesting of options.


53


 Type of TerminationPayments

“Retirement” or “Early Retirement”

“Retirement” means termination at or after age 65, under conditions entitling an eligible employee to an immediate annuity under the Fannie Mae Retirement Plan.

“Early Retirement” means termination at or after age 60, but before age 65, with five or more years of service, or at an earlier age only if permitted by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.
— Accrued, but unpaid base salary.

— Prorated PSP payment for any cycle in which at least 18 months have elapsed as of the date of termination and payment of all amounts payable (but unpaid) for completed cycles.

— In the case of Retirement, but not Early Retirement, vesting of all shares of restricted stock, to the extent not already vested. In the event of Early Retirement, Fannie Mae may in its discretion accelerate the vesting of shares of restricted stock.

— Vesting of all options and options granted after the date of the employment agreement will remain exercisable through the earlier of the remainder of the original exercise period and the third anniversary of the date of the termination.

For Cause or Voluntary Termination (other than for Good Reason or to Accept a Senior Position in the U.S. Federal Government)
— Accrued, but unpaid base salary.

— If termination is for Cause, Mr. Mudd would not be entitled to any amounts payable (but unpaid) of any bonus or under any PSP award with respect to a performance cycle if the reason for such termination for Cause is substantially related to the earning of such bonus or to the performance over the performance cycle upon which the payment was based.
Mr. Mudd’s employment agreement also obligates him not to compete with us in the U.S., solicit any officer or employee of ours or our affiliates to terminate his or her current position,relationship with us or to engage in prohibited competition, or to assist others to engage in activities in which Mr. Mudd would be prohibited from engaging, in each case for two years following termination. Mr. Mudd may request a waiver from these non-competition obligations, which the Board may grant if it determines in good faith that an activity proposed by Mr. Mudd would not prejudice our interests. Mr. Mudd’s employment agreement provides us with the agreement is not extended after the endright to seek and obtain injunctive relief from a court of its term, if there is a material change in responsibilities,competent jurisdiction to restrain Mr. Mudd from any actual or if for any reason his or her employment is terminated within six months after a change in controlthreatened breach of Fannie Mae, the officer will be entitled to receive his or her then current annual salary until the later of the close of the remaining term ofthese obligations. Disputes arising under the employment agreement are to be resolved through arbitration, and we bear Mr. Mudd’s legal expenses unless he does not prevail. We also agreed to reimburse Mr. Mudd’s legal expenses incurred in connection with any subsequent negotiation, amendment, or one year after its termination or nonextension (reduced, starting six months after termination, by amounts earned through other employment). Each employment agreement contains a similar provision if the officer’s employment terminates due to disability, except that the amount of annual salary will be reduced by any disability benefits received, to the extent that the benefits are attributable to payments made by Fannie Mae, and by any amounts earned through other employment, until the employment agreement expires.

As announced by Fannie Mae on January 10, 2003, Ms. Gorelick will leave Fannie Mae later this year to devote substantial time to the bipartisan national commission investigating the attacks of September 11, 2001, and to pursue other interests. Ms. Gorelick will remain an employee of Fannie Mae through June 30, 2003. Until that date, Ms. Gorelick will continue to receive her current salary and benefits, including the vesting of stock-based compensation and pension benefits pursuant to her agreement. In addition, the Compensation Committee and the Board have approved that all options scheduled to vest in November 2003 and a pro rata portion of Ms. Gorelick’s EPS challenge options award will vestMr. Mudd as of June 30, 2003.

(1)The amounts of cash bonus shown assume that the Board would have determined to grant Mr. Mudd a cash bonus award under our annual incentive plan in the amount he actually received for 2006. In the case of retirement, Mr. Mudd’s employment agreement does not explicitly provide for a bonus, but he would have been entitled to a bonus under the terms of our annual incentive plan as in effect on December 29, 2006. The plan also gives our Compensation Committee discretion to award prorated bonuses to retirees who depart at other times of the year.
(2)No value is shown for Mr. Mudd’s options subject to accelerated vesting because the exercise price of the options exceeded the closing price of our common stock on December 29, 2006.
(3)The reported amounts are for payments under our PSP that normally would have been paid subsequent to December 29, 2006 and to which Mr. Mudd would not have been entitled if he left in the absence of his agreement. For more information regarding our PSP, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—What decisions have we made with regard to our Performance Share Program?”
(4)These benefits would not be available to Mr. Mudd if his agreement was not extended. The amount shown assumes that Mr. Mudd will receive medical and dental coverage for two years after his termination of employment and is calculated using the assumptions used for financial reporting purposes under generally accepted accounting principles.
Agreement with Robert Levin.  We have until June 30, 2004 to exercise all vested options. These additional benefits must be approved by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight.

Fannie Mae has agreementsa letter agreement with Mr. Howard and Mr. Levin, executive vice presidents of Fannie Mae. Eachdated June 19, 1990. The agreement provides that if the officerhe is terminated for reasons other than for cause,“cause,” he will continue to receive his base salary for a period of 12 months from the date of termination and will continue to be covered by Fannie Mae’sour life, medical, and long-term disability insurance plans for a12-month period, or until re- employmentre-employment that provides certain coverage for benefits, whichever occurs first. For the purpose of this agreement, “cause” means a termination based upon reasonable evidence that Mr. Levin has breached his duties as an officer by engaging in dishonest or fraudulent actions or willful misconduct. Any disability benefits that the officerhe receives during the12-month period will reduce the amount otherwise payable byFannie Mae,by us, but only to the extent the benefits are attributable to payments made by Fannie Mae.us. If Mr. Levin had been terminated for reasons other than for “cause” as of December 29, 2006, he would have been entitled to receive an aggregate cash severance payment of $750,000 and medical, long-term disability, and life insurance coverage with premiums and a relatedgross-up payment we estimate would have cost us an aggregate of approximately $71,500.

Severance Program.  On March 10, 2005, our Board of Directors approved a severance program that provided guidelines regarding the severance benefits that management-level employees, including all of the named executives except for Mr. Mudd, were entitled to receive if their employment with us was terminated as a result of corporate restructuring, reorganization, consolidation, staff reduction, or other similar circumstances, where there were no performance-related issues, and where termination was not for cause. Ms. St. John participated in the severance program. The severance program expired on December 31, 2006 and was replaced with a program that does not apply to our named executives or other executive officers. As effective for 2006, the severance program provided for the following benefits, subject to OFHEO approval, for named executives (other than Mr. Mudd):
• a severance payment of one year’s salary plus four weeks’ salary for each year of service with us up to a maximum of one and a half years’ salary;
• for participants terminated after the first quarter of the fiscal year, a pro rata payout of the participant’s annual cash incentive award target for the year in which termination occurred, adjusted for corporate performance;
• consistent with the terms of our applicable stock compensation plan, accelerated vesting of options that were scheduled to vest within 12 months of termination and the extension of option exercise periods to the earlier of the option expiration date or 12 months following the termination of employment;
• accelerated vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards granted under the 2003 Plan that would have otherwise vested within 12 months of termination;
• for the cash portion of long-term incentive awards for the 2005 performance year, which are payable in four equal annual installments beginning in 2007, accelerated payment of the amount that would have otherwise become payable within 12 months of termination; and
• payment of unpaid performance shares for completed performance cycles.

Certain Transactions 

The program was available only to employees who had served at least 13 weeks. Participants were required to execute a separation agreement to receive these benefits containing, where permitted, a one-year non-compete clause and Relationshipsalso containing a waiver of claims against us.
Participants found violating the competition restriction would be required to return any severance payments that they received. The program also provided for outplacement services and continued access to our medical and dental plans for up to five years, with the first 18 months’ premiums to remain at a level no higher than they would be if the participant were still an active employee.
The following table quantifies the compensation that would have become payable to the named executives under the severance program if their employment had terminated on December 29, 2006, given their compensation as of that date and the closing price of our common stock on December 29, 2006 and assuming we had received OFHEO’s approval. In the case of Ms. St. John, the table shows the benefits to which she became entitled in connection with her retirement in December 2006. The amounts of cash severance shown assume, where applicable, that the Board would have determined we achieved performance of our corporate annual incentive plan goals at 110% of our target level, which was the level actually determined for 2006.

(3)The reported amounts include payments under our PSP that normally would have been paid subsequent to December 29, 2006 and to which the named executives would not have been entitled if they had left in the absence of the severance program. For more information regarding our PSP, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—What decisions have we made with regard to our Performance Share Program?”
(4)The amounts shown assume the executive will find new employment within 6 months.
(5)If Mr. Blakely had left Fannie Mae on December 29, 2006 under the severance program, he would also have been eligible as a retiree to receive an additional cash payment of $1,656,270 under a long-term incentive award and accelerated vesting of restricted stock units worth $4,252,977. These amounts are not shown in this table, but are set forth in the “Potential Payments under our Stock Compensation Plans and 2005 Performance Year Cash Awards” table below.
(6)Based on her age and years of service, upon her departure from Fannie Mae Ms. St. John received an extension of the exercise period of her options to the option expiration date under our stock compensation plans. She also was eligible for our retiree medical benefits. Because these benefits are available to all full-time, salaried employees, our costs for these benefits have not been included in the table above. The amount shown for Ms. St. John reflects our estimated cost of subsidizing her dental plan premiums for 18 months.

During 2002,

Stock Compensation Plans, 2005 Performance Year Cash Awards, and Annual Incentive Plan
• Death, Disability, and Retirement.  Under the 1993 Plan and the 2003 Plan, stock options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units held by our employees, including our named executives, fully vest upon the employee’s death, disability or retirement. On these terminations, or if an option holder leaves after age 55 with at least 5 years of service, the option holder, or the holder’s estate in the case of death, can exercise any stock options until the initial expiration date of the stock option, which is generally 10 years after the date of grant. For these purposes, “retirement” generally means that the executive retires at or after age 60 with 5 years of service or age 65 (with no service requirement).
• In early 2006, our named executives, other than Mr. Mudd, received a portion of their long-term incentive awards for the 2005 performance year in the form of cash awards payable in four equal annual installments beginning in 2007. Under the terms of the awards, these cash awards are subject to accelerated payment at the same rate as restricted stock or restricted stock units and, accordingly, named executives would receive accelerated payment of the unpaid portions of this cash in the event of termination of employment by reason of death, disability, or retirement.
• Performance Share Program.  As described above, performance shares are contingent grants of our common stock that are paid out based on performance over three-year performance periods. Actual payouts are generally made in two installments. Participants whose employment terminates at least 18 months after the beginning of the cycle but prior to the end of a performance cycle, due to death, disability, or, after age 55, at least five years of service, receive a pro rata payment of the performance shares at the end of the cycle, except in the case of death, in which case the payment is made as soon as practicable after the participant’s death.
For each named executive who remained with Fannie Mae, was a partyother than Mr. Mudd, the following table provides the value of the awards that would have vested or become payable if, as of December 29, 2006, the named executive had died, become disabled, or retired either (1) at or after age 60 if the named executive had at least five years of service or (2) at or after age 65 regardless of the executive’s length of service.

• Life Insurance Benefits.  We currently have a practice of arranging for our officers, including our named executives, to purchase universal life insurance coverage at our expense, with death benefits of $5,000,000 for Mr. Mudd and $2,000,000 for our other named executives. The death benefit is reduced by 50% at the

later of retirement, age 60, or 5 years from the date of enrollment. We provide the executives with an amount sufficient to pay the premiums for this coverage until but not beyond termination of employment, except in cases of retirement or disability, in which case we continue to make scheduled payments. Historically we also have paid our named executives a tax“gross-up” to cover any related taxes, but these payments will be eliminated as of January 1, 2008.
• Retiree Medical Benefits.  We currently make certain retiree medical benefits available to our full-time salaried employees who retire and meet certain age and service requirements. We agreed that Mr. Blakely may participate in our retiree medical program as long as he remained employed until age 65.
• Pension and Deferred Compensation Benefits.  Our named executives are also entitled to the benefits described above in “Pension Benefits” and “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation.”

In the event that the fees for pre-approved services during the year exceed the authorized fees by 20%, then the increased fees must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

PROPOSAL 3:    APPROVAL OF FANNIE MAE STOCK                                COMPENSATION PLAN OF 2003

Background

PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO FANNIE MAE STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN OF 2003
At the 2007 annual meeting, our shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to amend the 2003 Plan, which we refer to as the “Plan,” to change the form and amount of equity compensation for our non-management directors. The Fannie Mae Stock Compensation Planeffect of 2003 (the “Plan”) was approved by the Board on January 21, 2003, subjectproposed amendment to the shareholders’ approvalPlan, together with the changes to the cash component of director compensation described above under “Proposal 1: Election of Directors—Director Compensation,” is to target total director compensation at the annual meeting. median of our comparator group.
Proposed Amendment to the Plan
If approved, the proposed amendment to the Plan, which we refer to as the “Plan Amendment,” would:
• discontinue automatic stock option grants to non-management directors at each annual meeting;
• eliminate the current Plan provision requiring automatic awards to non-management directors of restricted stock in 2006 (with the 2006 award to have a fair market value of $75,000) and in 2010 (with the 2010 award to have a fair market value of $90,000), as described in more detail below under “Non-Management Director Restricted Stock Awards”;
• provide for automatic awards of restricted stock or restricted stock units (collectively referred to as “restricted stock”) to non-management directors, after each annual meeting, with a fair market value to be determined annually by the Board (which, for the annual meeting in 2008, will be $135,000), and that will vest in full no later than one year after the date of grant, as described in more detail below under “Non-Management Director Restricted Stock Awards”; and
• permit non-management directors to elect to defer awards of restricted stock and convert their annual cash retainer into deferred shares, as described below under “Deferred Compensation.”
The Plan will becomeAmendment does not increase the total number of shares of stock that may be issued under the Plan.
In 2003, our Board adopted the Plan, which became effective uponwhen our shareholders approved the shareholders’ approval. Plan in May 2003. Our Board adopted the Plan Amendment in September 2007 to implement our new non-management director compensation structure. The new compensation structure is based on recommendations from the Board’s outside compensation consultant, Semler Brossy Consulting Group. Prior to making its recommendations to our Board regarding compensation of our non-management directors, Semler Brossy prepared and presented to our Board a comprehensive study of the compensation of the non-management directors relative to contemporary practices for directors, including practices among the companies that comprise our comparator group. Our comparator group is identified and discussed above under “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—“How does comparability factor into our executive compensation decisions?”
Semler Brossy’s recommendations included recommendations to:
• simplify our current program,
• curtail the use of options for directors,
• eliminate meeting fees for our non-management directors, and
• rely, in the future, on cash retainers and an annual restricted stock grant.
The Board believes that the Plan will enable Fannie MaeAmendment is in the interest of the company and necessary to (1) provide stock compensation to directors that is comparable to that provided by similar companies, and (2) to continue to: (1)to attract, motivate, and retain experienced and reward employeesknowledgeable independent directors.
If our shareholders approve the Plan Amendment, no annual stock option awards will be made with respect to the annual meeting that would have been held in 2005 or 2006. Additionally, our non-management directors will no longer automatically receive annual stock option grants at the 2007 annual meeting and experienced, independent directors; (2) promote close identityfuture annual

meetings. The Plan Amendment will not affect stock options that are outstanding under the Plan, which will continue in accordance with their terms.
In addition, if our shareholders approve the Plan Amendment, our non-management directors will not receive the restricted stock award that was scheduled to be granted immediately following our 2006 annual meeting. Instead, immediately after the annual meeting of interests betweenshareholders in 2008, our non-management directors officers, employees,will receive the restricted stock unit awards described below.
If the Plan Amendment is not approved, the Plan will continue without amendment and shareholders;our non-management directors will continue to be eligible for automatic annual grants of stock options and (3)certain restricted stock grants under the current terms of the Plan.
Our non-management directors have not received option awards scheduled to be granted immediately following our 2005 and 2006 annual meetings nor have they received the restricted stock award that was scheduled to be granted immediately following our 2006 annual meeting.
Our non-management directors have a financial interest in this proposal because it would increase the amount of the automatic restricted stock award for non-management directors under the Plan, and would provide incentives for high levelsthe Board with greater flexibility in determining the amount of individual performance.

If the Plan Amendment is approved, the current provision of the Plan relating to annual restricted stock awards to be made to non-management directors will be eliminated, and neither of the restricted stock awards described under “Current Plan Provisions Relating to Restricted Stock Awards to Non-Management Directors” will be made.

Each nonmanagement


Under the Plan Amendment, each non-management director will receive an annual grant of restricted stock units immediately following the annual meeting of shareholders, beginning with the annual meeting of shareholders in 2008. The aggregate fair market value on the date of grant for the annual meeting of shareholders in 2008 will equal $135,000. The value of the grant for future years will continue to be $135,000, unless the Board determines, prior to the annual meeting of the shareholders for that year, that it will use a different value. A non-management director who is newly appointed or elected after an annual meeting of shareholders will receive a grant of restricted stock units prorated based on the number of full calendar months between the annual meeting of shareholders that took place immediately prior to the director’s appointment or election and the date of the director’s appointment or election.
Restricted stock granted under this provision of the Plan Amendment generally may not be sold, transferred, or encumbered. The restricted stock will vest in full, or 100%, on the day before the next annual meeting of shareholders, but in no event later than one year after the grant. Unvested restricted stock is subject to forfeiture if a director ceases to be a director for any reason other than death or total disability.
Current Plan Provision Relating to Restricted Stock Awards to Non-Management Directors
Under the current provision of the Plan, each non-management director who was a director immediately following the annual meeting of the shareholders in 2006 or 2010 will be granted,was entitled to receive, on the date of the annual meeting, an award of restricted stock havingwith an aggregate fair market value on the date of grant equal to $75,000 in 2006 and $90,000 in 2010. A nonmanagement$75,000. At this time, no awards have been made under this provision. In addition, each non-management director who is a director immediately following the annual meeting of shareholders in 2010 will be entitled to receive, on the date of the annual meeting, an award of restricted stock with an aggregate fair market value on the date of grant equal to $90,000. Awards to non-management directors who are newly appointed or elected after the annual meeting of shareholders in 2006 andor 2010 will receive an award of restricted stockare prorated according tobased on the number of partial or full calendar months remaining in the four-year award cycle after the date of the director’s appointment.

Generally speaking,

If the Plan Amendment is approved, the restricted stock granted under this provision mayawards relating to 2006 and 2010 will not be sold, transferred, or encumbered. granted. Instead, the awards of restricted stock described above under “Effect of Plan Amendment on Restricted Stock Awards to Non-Management Directors” will be made annually beginning immediately following the annual meeting of shareholders in 2008.
The restricted stock will vestvests at athe rate of 25 percent25% per year on the day before each annual meeting of shareholders (or by the appropriate pro rata percentage for directors newlywho are appointed or elected after the annual meeting in 2006 or 2010). Unvested restricted stock is subject to forfeiture upon termination of directorshipif a director ceases to be a director for reasonsany reason other than death, total disability, or not being renominated after age 70.The70.
The Committee also may grant additional restricted stock awards under this provision to nonmanagementnon-management directors based on market compensation data or other information or circumstances. This provision will continue to apply following the Plan Amendment.
Deferred Compensation
Effect of Plan Amendment
Under the Plan Amendment, each non-management director will have the right to elect to defer receipt of the restricted stock units. Each non-management director also will have the right to elect to convert the director’s annual retainer into deferred shares of common stock. In either case, dividend equivalents for the deferred shares will be credited to the director’s account and reinvested in additional deferred shares. The deferred shares of common stock will be paid to the director six months after the director ceases to be a director and separates from service with us.
Current Plan
Under the current provisions of the Plan, non-management directors do not have the right to defer receipt of awards of shares of restricted stock, nor do they have the right to convert their annual retainers or other directors’ fees into deferred shares.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following summary generally describes the current principal federal income tax consequences of certain events under the Plan. The summary is general in nature and is not intended to cover all tax consequences that may apply to a particular employee or director, or to Fannie Mae. The provisions of the Code and regulations thereunder relating to these matters are complicated and subject to change.

Stock Options and SARs.A grantee willis not be subject to any federal income tax upon the grant of an option or SAR pursuant to the Plan.

A grantee willdoes not recognize income for federal income tax purposes (and Fannie Mae willis not be entitled to any federal income tax deduction) as a result of the exercise of an ISO and the related transfer of shares to the employee. However, the excess of the fair market value of the shares transferred upon the exercise of an ISO over the exercise price for such shares generally will constituteconstitutes an item of alternative minimum tax adjustment to the employee for the year in which the option is exercised. Thus, certain employees may have an increase in their federal income tax liability as a result of the exercise of an ISO under the alternative minimum tax rules of the Code.

If the shares received pursuant to the exercise of an ISO are disposed of within two years from the date the ISO is granted or within one year from the date the ISO is exercised (the “ISO holding periods”), the employee will recognizerecognizes ordinary income equal to the excess of the amount realized on the dispositions over the price paid for the shares. In such case, Fannie Mae ordinarily will beis entitled to a tax deduction for the same amount, provided that certain income tax reporting requirements are satisfied.

If the shares received upon the exercise of an ISO are disposed of after the ISO holding periods have been satisfied, long-term capital gain or long-term capital loss is realized on the disposition. Fannie

33


Mae willis not be entitled to a federal income tax deduction as a result of the disposition.

Ordinary income will beis recognized by the employee upon exercise of a NQO.nonqualified stock option. Generally, the ordinary income realized is the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares of common stock received upon the exercise of the NQOnonqualified stock option over the exercise price. An employee will also recognize ordinary income upon exercising a SAR equal to the total of any cash received and the fair market value of any shares of the common stock received.

Income tax withholding from the employee is required on the income recognized by the employee upon exercise of a NQOnonqualified stock option or SAR. Fannie Mae ordinarily willis be entitled to a deduction for federal income tax purposes equal to the ordinary income recognized by the employee upon the exercise of a NQOnonqualified stock option or SAR, or the ordinary income recognized by the employee on the disposition of common stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO, provided that certain income tax reporting requirements are satisfied.

Restricted Stock.  An employee generally will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares subject to the restricted stock grant at the time of vesting over the amount, if any, paid for such shares. (Different rules not discussed herein would apply in the event an employee makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code.) Income tax withholding from employees is required on income recognized by the employee upon vesting of restricted stock. Dividends paid to an employee on shares of restricted stock are treated as ordinary income of the employee in the year received. Fannie Mae ordinarily will be entitled to a deduction for federal income tax purposes equal to the ordinary income recognized by the employee,provided that certain income tax reporting requirements are satisfied.

Performance Share Awards and Stock Bonuses.  An employee generally is not required to recognize income upon the grant of a performance share award or the award of a stock bonus. Instead, ordinary income is required to be recognized upon the issuance of shares pursuant to the terms of the award in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares of common stock received. Income tax withholding from employees is required on income recognized upon the issuance of shares pursuant to a performance share award or a stock bonus award. Fannie Mae ordinarily will be entitled to a deduction for federal income tax purposes equal to


67


the ordinary income recognized by the employee, provided that certain income tax reporting requirements are satisfied.

Gain or Loss on Sale or Exchange of Shares.  In general, gain or loss from the sale or exchange of shares of common stock granted or awarded under the Plan will be treated as capital gain or loss, provided that the shares are held as capital assets at the time of the sale or exchange. However, as discussed above, if the ISO holding periods are not satisfied at the time of the sale or exchange of shares received pursuant to the exercise of an ISO, the employee generally will be required to recognize ordinary income upon such disposition.
Section 409A

Payments Upon Change in Control. Where payments

Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, which was added by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, provides certain new requirements for nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements. These include new requirements with respect to an individual’s election to defer compensation and the individual’s selection of the timing and form of distribution of the deferred compensation. Section 409A also generally provides that distributions must be made upon the occurrence of certain employeesevents (e.g., the individual’s separation from service, a predetermined date, or the individual’s death). Section 409A imposes restrictions on an individual’s ability to change his or her timing or form of distribution after the compensation has been deferred. For certain officers, Section 409A requires that distributions that are contingentthe result of the officer’s separation from service with the employer must be delayed for six months after the officer’s separation from service.
Awards granted under the Plan with a deferral feature are subject to the requirements of Section 409A. If an award is subject to and fails to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A, the recipient of that award may recognize ordinary income on a change in control exceed limits specified in the Code,amounts deferred under the employeeaward, to the extent vested, which may be prior to when the compensation is liable for a 20 percent exciseactually or constructively received. Also, if an award that is subject to Section 409A fails to comply with Section 409A’s provisions, Section 409A imposes an additional 20% federal income tax on and Fannie Mae or other entity making the payment generally is not entitled to any deduction for, a specified portion ofcompensation recognized as ordinary income, as well as interest on such payments. If the Committee, in its discretion, grants awards the vesting of which is accelerated by a change in control of Fannie Mae, such accelerated vesting would be relevant in determining whether the excise tax and deduction disallowance rules would be triggered.deferred compensation.

for the approval of the Fannie Mae Stock Compensation Plan of 2003.2003
The following table shows the amount of benefits that will be received by our named executives, directors, and other employees under the Plan as proposed to be amended, to the extent that those benefits are determinable. Although discretionary grants to our named executives, directors, and other employees are permitted under the Plan, the amounts of any discretionary grant are not determinable at this time. Accordingly, the amount presented in the following table reflects only the automatic annual grant of restricted stock units to non-management directors following each annual meeting of shareholders until the termination date of the Plan in 2013, assuming (1) a fair market value for the grants of $135,000 and (2) the number of our non-management directors continues to total 12. The amount presented in the table may be higher or lower if the Board determines to change the fair market value of this automatic grant, or if the number of non-management directors on our Board increases or decreases.

PROPOSALSHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
Proposal 4: SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALProposal to Require Shareholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation
American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, 1625 L Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20036, beneficial owner of 37,213 shares has submitted the following proposal for consideration at the annual meeting:
RESOLVED, that shareholders of Fannie Mae urge the board of directors to adopt a policy that Company shareholders be given the opportunity at each annual meeting of shareholders to vote on an advisory resolution, to be proposed by Fannie Mae’s management, to ratify the compensation of the named executive officers (“NEOs”) set forth in the proxy statement’s Summary Compensation Table (the “SCT”) and the accompanying narrative disclosure of material factors provided to understand the SCT (but not the Compensation Discussion and Analysis). The proposal submitted to shareholders should make clear that the vote is non-binding and would not affect any compensation paid or awarded to any NEO.
SUPPORTING STATEMENT
In our view, senior executive compensation at Fannie Mae has not always been structured in ways that best serve stockholders’ interests. Previous compensation arrangements richly rewarded executives for reporting higher earnings with no requirement to return the compensation in the event of restatement. Inflated earnings allowed Fannie Mae executives to maximize their bonuses but proved harmful to shareholders. The restatement at Fannie Mae reduced earnings by more than $6 billion and resulted in Fannie Mae being out of compliance with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley for more than two years.
We believe that existing U.S. corporate governance arrangements, including SEC rules and stock exchange listing standards, do not provide shareholders with enough mechanisms for providing input to boards on senior executive compensation. In contrast to U.S. practices, in the United Kingdom, public companies allow shareholders to cast an advisory vote on the “directors’ remuneration report,” which discloses executive compensation. Such a vote isn’t binding, but gives shareholders a clear voice that could help shape senior executive compensation.
Currently U.S. stock exchange listing standards require shareholder approval of equity-based compensation plans; those plans, however, set general parameters and accord the compensation committee substantial discretion in making awards and establishing performance thresholds for a particular year. Shareholders do not have any mechanism for providing ongoing feedback on the application of those general standards to individual pay packages. (See Lucian Bebchuk & Jesse Fried,Pay Without Performance 49 (2004))
Similarly, performance criteria submitted for shareholder approval to allow a company to deduct compensation in excess of $1 million are broad and do not constrain compensation committees in setting performance targets for particular senior executives. Withholding votes from compensation committee members who are standing for reelection is a blunt and insufficient instrument for registering dissatisfaction with the way in which the committee has administered compensation plans and policies in the previous year.
Accordingly, we urge Fannie Mae’s board to allow shareholders to express their opinion about senior executive compensation at Fannie Mae by establishing an annual referendum process. The results of such a vote would, we think, provide Fannie Mae with useful information about whether shareholders view the company’s senior executive compensation, as reported each year, to be in shareholders’ best interests.
We urge shareholders to vote for this proposal.
FANNIE MAE’S COMMENT
After careful consideration, and recognizing the appropriate interest that our shareholders have in providing input to the Board about our executive compensation practices, the Board recommends voting against the proposal providing an advisory vote on executive compensation.


71


Mrs.

Summary:  Consistent with Fannie Mae’s federal charter, the Compensation Committee and the Board exercise oversight of compensation on an ongoing basis, taking into consideration the competitive demands of the marketplace, the overall corporate strategy and the performance of executives against corporate goals. Currently our regulator also reviews the proposed levels of non-salary compensation for certain executives. We believe effective mechanisms to communicate with the Board about compensation-related concerns are available to shareholders, including direct communication via addresses available in this proxy, approval of equity plans, and election of directors by a majority standard. We also believe that adopting an advisory vote without it being adopted on a uniform basis by other public companies would place Fannie Mae at a competitive disadvantage and could be premature as unique U.S. legal and regulatory considerations have not been fully examined. For the foregoing reasons, the Board recommends that shareholders vote against the current proposal providing for an advisory vote on executive compensation.
Fannie Mae’s Federal Charter Vests Executive Compensation Responsibility in the Board
The Fannie Mae Charter Act states that“the board of directors of the corporation shall have the power to select and appoint or employ...officers...and to cause the corporation to pay such compensation to them for their service as the board of directors determines reasonable and comparable with compensation for employment in other similar businesses..., except that a significant portion of potential compensation for all executive officers shall be based on the performance of the corporation.”
The Board has delegated power to the Compensation Committee, which is composed entirely of independent members of the Board, to review and make recommendations to the Board concerning the compensation of officers and the compensation policy for employees. In fulfilling the obligation of our federal charter, the Compensation Committee considers the following when determining executive compensation: corporate as well as individual performance, a range of competitive market data, including, with respect to the Chief Executive Officer, data provided by an independent compensation consultant for the Board, the importance of each executive’s role in the company, competition for individuals with the experience and skill set of each executive, and related market forces, among other factors. Under our Charter, our regulator, the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO), must approve termination payments to our executives. In addition, pursuant to the terms of an agreement with OFHEO, non-salary compensation actions are provided for OFHEO’s review prior to award.
We believe the continuous oversight of executive compensation provided by our Compensation Committee, as well as the review by our regulator of certain executive compensation arrangements provides an effective governance model over executive compensation.
Shareholders Are Able to Provide Targeted, Continuous Feedback to the Board
The Compensation Discussion and Analysis required under the new SEC rules regarding executive compensation disclosure provides increased transparency of our approach to compensating executives and provides shareholders with more information to evaluate compensation decisions. If a shareholder has a concern with respect to an aspect of the executive compensation as disclosed in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis or summary compensation table, we believe effective mechanisms currently exist for the shareholder to provide feedback to identify the specific compensation-related concerns.
As opposed to the general nature of a proposed,once-a-year, “for” or “against” advisory vote, which may not clearly communicate the shareholder views on the type, amounts, or preferred improvements to our executive compensation, shareholder feedback on compensation-related concerns may be sent directly to the Board atboard@fanniemae.com or by sending correspondence to: Board of Directors,c/o the Office of the Secretary of the Corporation, Mailstop: 1H 2S 05, 3900 Wisconsin Avenue, NW, Washington, DC20016-2892. In addition, our shareholders have the ability to influence the aggregate amount and types of equity compensation available to be awarded to our executives through their review and approval of our stock compensation plans. Moreover, our Board recently approved amendments to our bylaws to adopt majority voting in the election of directors. By allowing shareholders to vote “for” or “against” each director, shareholders can hold directors accountable with respect to executive compensation.


72


We believe that, combined, the ability to provide direct feedback to the Board, votes on equity compensation plans, and ability to vote “against” a director are more effective mechanisms for shareholders to provide the Board with feedback about executive compensation than the proposedonce-a-year advisory vote.
Advisory Voting Should be Adopted Within a Uniform Legal and Regulatory Framework
While well-intentioned, the practice suggested by the proponent, if adopted on acase-by-case basis as proposed and not by all public companies, would create inequities and a competitive disadvantage for us. The advisory vote process is mandated by law in the United Kingdom, or U.K., and applies to all public companies. If we adopted an advisory vote on executive compensation, there is no assurance that other companies would follow. This could put us at a competitive disadvantage by giving the impression that compensation opportunities are more restricted at Fannie Mae than at our competitors.
In addition, further examination to determine the consequences of implementing an advisory vote process in the U.S. should be conducted, given certain aspects of the U.S. legal and regulatory structure as compared with the U.K. For example, the ability for U.S. public companies to discuss compensation information with individual shareholders before the information is publicly available may be hindered by current legal requirements. Additionally, shareholding is more dispersed in the U.S. than in the U.K. Currently, various task forces made up of investor groups and corporations are examining these issues in connection with the implementation of an advisory vote process in the U.S.
We believe a better time to consider this proposal would be after a consensus has been formed on the best way to implement an advisory vote process in the U.S. regulatory and legal system. In the meantime, the Board believes that implementation of this proposal is premature as the legal and regulatory considerations have not been fully examined and advisory voting on executive compensation would not be applied uniformly.
The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders
voteAGAINSTthis proposal.

Proposal 5: Proposal to Authorize Cumulative Voting
Evelyn Y. Davis, Editor, Highlights and Lowlights, Watergate Office Building, 2600 Virginia Avenue, NW,Ave., N.W., Suite 215, Washington, DC 20037, who ownsowner of 600 shares, of Fannie Mae common stock, has advised Fannie Mae that the following resolution will be presented for approval of the shareholders at the annual meeting. She has submitted the following statement in support of such resolution:

meeting:

RESOLVED:

“That “That the stockholders of Fannie Mae,FNMA, assembled in Annual Meeting in person and by proxy, hereby request the Board of Directors to take the necessary steps to provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors, which means each stockholder shall be entitled to as many votes as shall equal the number of shares he or she owns multiplied by the number of directors to be elected, and he or she may cast all of such votes for a single candidate, or any two or more of them as he or she may see fit.”

“The many problems FNMA has been having make cumulative voting of the UTMOST importance!!!

REASONS:

Many states have mandatory cumulative voting, so do National Banks.”

“In addition many corporations have adopted cumulative voting.”

Last yearDuring 2004 the owners of 162,908,583........* shares, representing approximately 22.096%forty.3%-40.3% of shares voting voted FOR this proposal.”

If you AGREE, please mark your proxy FOR this resolution.”
FANNIE MAE’S COMMENT
Our Board has considered carefully the possible impacts of the proposal to reinstate cumulative voting, and has determined that the proposal is not in the best interests of all of our stockholders. Therefore, the Board recommends a vote against the proposal.
Summary:  The purpose of cumulative voting is to permit a minority of shareholders to elect one or more directors. Directors elected by minority shareholders might adopt positions that are in the best interests of minority, special interest shareholders, as opposed to all shareholders. As a result, we believe the proposal could impair the functioning of the Board in the interests of the shareholders as a whole.
Directors elected by minority shareholders using cumulative voting could adopt positions that are in the best interests of minority, special interest shareholders, as opposed to all shareholders.   Like most other U.S. corporations, each share of our common stock permits the holder to cast one vote in the election of each candidate. Under cumulative voting, if a shareholder wished, he or she could cast 12 votes for each owned share for one candidate. This could allow a well-organized minority shareholder group to elect a director who advocates the group’s positions, as opposed to positions that are in the best interests of all shareholders. The election of special interest directors could weaken the Board’s ability to work effectively together for the best interests of the shareholders. Allowing each holder of shares of common stock to have one vote per share for each director nominee makes the election process more fair by allowing the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares to control the outcome, resulting in a more effective Board.
We have recently adopted majority voting.  To ensure director accountability to all of our shareholders, our Board recently adopted a majority voting standard for the election of directors. Except in an election in which the number of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected, each director who fails to receive more votes for election than against must offer to resign.


74


Management Comment

Shareholders of Fannie Maeeliminated cumulative voting at the Company in 1988 and since then have consistently rejected proposals to reinstate cumulative voting.  Our shareholders voted overwhelmingly at theour 1988 annual meeting to eliminate cumulative voting. In each of the last 14years, they16 annual meetings since that time, our shareholders have rejected proposals similar to this one to reinstate cumulative voting.

The Board of Directors believes that the “one share, one vote” or straight voting method of electing directors results in a more efficient and unified board, a board where each director represents the interests of all shareholders.

Under the cumulative voting method for election of Fannie Mae’s directors, a shareholder would be entitled to cast votes equal to the number of shares that the shareholder owns multiplied by the number of directors to be elected. Thus, all of a shareholder’s votes could be cast for a single candidate or distributed among several nominees. If a shareholder wished, he or she could cast all 13 votes for each owned share for one candidate. This method could permit a well-organized minority shareholder bloc to concentrate votes and elect one or more candidates to the Fannie Mae Board. If this occurs, the operation of the Board could become fractionalized, resulting in inefficient functioning and serious harm to corporate operations. It is for this reason that the Board recommended eliminating cumulative voting in 1988 and now, as it did in 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002 recommends against the reimposition of cumulative voting.

Unless shareholders specify otherwise in the proxy, proxies solicited by the Board of Directors will be voted by the proxy holders at the annual meeting against this proposal. A majority of the votes cast at the annual meeting is required to approve this proposal.

The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) requires directors and certain officers of reporting companies, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of such company’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and any exchange on which such company’s securities trade, and to furnish the company with copies of the forms. As a federally chartered corporation, Fannie Mae’s directors and officers were exempt from these requirements during 2002. On March 31, 2003, however, upon the effectiveness of Fannie Mae’s registration of its common stock with the SEC under the Exchange Act, Fannie Mae’s directors and applicable officers began filing Section 16(a) reports. These reports are accessible through our Web site at www.fanniemae.com.

APPENDIX B:    CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES

The Role of the Board and Management

The Board of Directors oversees the management of the corporation and its business. The Fannie Mae Board of Directors represents the interests of the company’s stockholders, the owners of the corporation, in optimizing long-term value by providing the company guidance and strategic oversight on the stockholders’ behalf. The paramount duty of the Board of Directors is to select a well-qualified and ethical Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and to diligently oversee the CEO and other senior management in the operation of the corporation. In addition, the Board performs the following specific functions, among others:

Selects, compensates and evaluates the chief executive officer and plans for management succession

Oversees election, retention, and compensation of qualified senior executives

Reviews and approves the corporation’s strategic plan and the annual operating plans, budget, and corporate performance

Advises management on significant issues facing the corporation

Reviews and approves significant corporate actions

Oversees the financial reporting process, communications with external stockholders, and the corporation’s legal and regulatory compliance program

Nominates directors and oversees effective corporate governance

It is the responsibility of management, in the exercise of their fiduciary duty to the company and its stockholders, to run the corporation’s business in an effective and ethical manner. The CEO is the leader of management and vested with the authority to make final decisions on behalf of management.

The Corporate Governance Guidelines

These Corporate Governance Guidelines have been developed by Fannie Mae’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and formally adopted by the Board of Directors. These guidelines (along with the charters of the Board Committees as well as the company’s Bylaws, its Employee Code of Business Conduct and Directors’ Code of Conduct and Ethics and Conflict of Interests Policy) are published on Fannie Mae’s corporate website, www.fanniemae.com and are available in print to any stockholder who requests them.

Board Composition, Size and Membership Criteria

The Fannie Mae Board consists of eighteen persons, five of whom are appointed annually by the President of the United States, and the remainder of whom are elected annually by the stockholders at the company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders. It is the policy of the Board that a substantial majority of the Fannie Mae directors will be independent, in accordance with the standards adopted by the Board. Currently, more than two-thirds of the Board consists of independent directors.

It is the responsibility of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to identify and evaluate prospective stockholder-elected candidates for the Board. The Committee will seek out Board members who possess the highest personal values, judgment and integrity; an understanding of the regulatory and policy environment in which the corporation does its business; and diverse experience in the key business, financial and other challenges that face a major American enterprise. Stockholders may submit written recommendations for nominees directly to the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board in care of the Office of the Secretary of the corporation.

B-1


The Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee formally invites new director candidates to stand for election to the Board.

In considering stockholder-elected members of the Board for renomination, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into consideration: (i) a director’s contribution to the effective functioning of the corporation; (ii) any change in the director’s principal area of responsibility with his or her company or in his or her employment; (iii) the director’s retirement from his or her principal area of responsibility with his or her company; (iv) whether the director continues to bring relevant experience to the Board; (v) whether the director has the ability to attend meetings and fully participate in the activities of the Board; and (vi) whether the director has developed any relationships with Fannie Mae or another organization, or other circumstances have arisen, that might make it inappropriate for the director to continue serving on the Board; and (vii) the director’s age and length of service on the Board.

Directors are required to inform the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of any changes in employment responsibilities in order for the committee to determine whether it is appropriate to renominate the Board member for continuing Board service.

Generally, a director will not be renominated after having served for ten years, although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may for good reason propose the renomination of such a director. No director will be proposed for renomination after 15 years of Board service. This policy is applied on a gradual basis so that turnover of a significant number of seats on the Board in any one year is limited.

A Board member generally must retire at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders following his or her 70th birthday, except that a director first nominated after age 67 may be renominated at up to the next five Annual Meetings.

Unless otherwise requested by the Board, the Chairman and CEO will cease to be a member of the Board of Directors at the termination of his or her employment as CEO.

Management directors must obtain approval from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee before accepting a seat on the Board of another for-profit organization. Non-management directors must notify the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee before accepting a seat on the Board of another for-profit organization, and the Committee will determine, in its judgment, whether such service will interfere with the director’s service on the Fannie Mae Board. Audit Committee members may not serve on the audit committees of more than three public companies.

Director Independence

The Board, through its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, on an annual basis, reviews the independence of all directors, affirmatively makes a determination as to the independence of each director, and discloses those determinations. Under the definition of “independence” adopted by the Board, an “independent director” must be determined to have no material relationship with Fannie Mae, either directly or through an organization that has a material relationship with Fannie Mae. A relationship is “material” if, in the judgment of the Board, it would interfere with the director’s independent judgment. In addition, an Audit Committee member also must be “independent” within the meaning of the New York Stock Exchange’s listing requirements for audit committees. To assist it in determining whether a director is independent, the Board has adopted the guidelines set forth below:

A director will not be considered independent if, within the preceding five years:

i.the director was employed by Fannie Mae; or

ii.an immediate family member of the director was employed by Fannie Mae as an officer; or

B-2


iii.the director was affiliated with or employed by Fannie Mae’s outside auditor; or

iv.an immediate family member of the director was affiliated with or employed by Fannie Mae’s outside auditor as a partner, principal or manager; or

v.the director was employed by a company at a time when a Fannie Mae executive officer sat on that company’s compensation committee; or

vi.an immediate family member of the director was employed as an officer by a company at a time when a Fannie Mae executive officer sat on that company’s compensation committee.

A director will not be considered independent if the director receives any compensation from Fannie Mae, directly or indirectly, other than fees for service as a director.

A director will not be considered independent if the director is an executive officer, controlling shareholder, or partner of a corporation or other business entity that does business with Fannie Mae and to which Fannie Mae makes, or from which Fannie Mae receives, payments in excess of 2 percent of either Fannie Mae’s or the entity’s consolidated gross annual revenues.

A director will not be considered independent if the director or the director’s spouse is an executive officer, employee, director, or trustee of a non profit organization to which Fannie Mae or the Fannie Mae Foundation makes payments in any year in excess of 5 percent of either Fannie Mae’s or the organization’s consolidated gross annual revenues, or $100,000, whichever is less. (Amounts that the Fannie Mae Foundation contributes under Fannie Mae’s matching gifts program are not included in the payments calculated for purposes of this standard). The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also will administer standards concerning any charitable contribution to organizations otherwise associated with a director or any spouse of a director. The corporation shall be guided by the interests of the company and its stockholders in determining whether and the extent to which it makes charitable contributions.

Where the guidelines above do not address a particular relationship, the determination of whether the relationship is material, and whether a director is independent, will be made by directors who satisfy the independence guidelines set forth above, based upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The Board may determine that, in its judgment, a director that does not meet these guidelines nonetheless, under all the facts and circumstances, does not have a relationship with Fannie Mae that would interfere with the director’s independent judgment. The Board will disclose the basis for any such determination in the company’s next proxy statement.

Board Meetings

The Fannie Mae Board meets at least seven times per year. In addition to regularly scheduled meetings, unscheduled Board meetings may be called with adequate notice, if needed. Directors are expected to attend in person all regularly scheduled Board meetings. The presence of a majority of the incumbent directors at the time of any meeting constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of such directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present constitutes the act of the Board. Directors may not vote or participate by proxy. The Board may act by unanimous written consent of all incumbent directors. The Chairman and CEO, in consultation with the Chairs of the Board’s committees, determines the agenda for Board meetings. Directors will be asked regularly by the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to evaluate the information being provided to the Board and to submit suggestions for Board agenda items.

Fannie Mae’s non-management directors meet in executive session on a regular basis. Time for an executive session will be placed on the agenda for every regular Board meeting. The Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will serve as the presiding director of these sessions.

B-3


Board dinners are scheduled quarterly each year to give Board members an opportunity to informally discuss Fannie Mae issues.

Board Materials

Directors are expected to review and devote appropriate time to studying Board materials. Materials for meetings are generally delivered five to seven days in advance of each Board and committee meeting. In certain cases, due to the sensitive nature of a matter, presentations are provided only at the Board or committee meeting.

Committees

The current standing Board committees are the Executive, Assets and Liabilities Policy, Audit, Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance, and Technology Committees. The bylaws give the Board authority to create additional committees. Each Committee has a written charter setting forth the responsibilities, duties and authorities of the Committee. The full Board reviews and approves Committee charters.

The Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees consist solely of independent directors. Committee assignments, including the designation of Committee Chairs, are made annually by Board resolution, based on recommendations from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Assignments are made based on a combination of factors including each individual Board member’s expertise and the needs of the corporation.

Each committee meets periodically for an appropriate length of time based on the specific meeting agenda. Generally, the regular annual committee schedule is as follows: Executive, as needed; Assets and Liabilities Policy, four times a year; Audit, at least four times a year; Compensation, at least three times a year; Nominating and Corporate Governance, at least four times a year; and Technology, twice a year. Additional committee meetings are scheduled as needed. Committee agendas are developed by the Committee Chair in consultation with the appropriate members of management and with the input of other directors. Directors are expected to attend in person all regularly scheduled committee meetings. Participation by telephone is permitted in exigent circumstances. Each Committee Chair makes a report on committee matters to the Board of Directors at the next scheduled Board meeting.

The Audit Committee periodically meets separately in executive session with each of management, the corporation’s internal auditor, and the outside auditor. In addition, the Audit Committee, or a designated representative of the Committee, will meet prior to the release and filing of the corporation’s quarterly financial reports, to review such materials. The Chairman of the Audit Committee will also meet twice a year with the company’s internal corporate disclosure committee. The corporation’s Senior Vice President for Operations Risk, who is responsible for Fannie Mae’s internal audit function, reports directly to the Audit Committee.

Director Access to Management and Outside Advisors

The corporation’s senior management team attends Board meetings on a regular basis, both to make special presentations and as a discussion resource, and is available directly to Board members outside of meetings.

The Board and its committees (consistent with the provisions of their respective charters) have the authority to retain such outside counsel, experts, and other advisors as they determine necessary to assist them in the performance of their functions.

Communications with the Board

The Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for convening and presiding over regular executive sessions of the non-management directors. To facilitate the ability

B-4


of interested parties to communicate their concerns or questions, Fannie Mae will publish on its website and in its proxy statement a mailing address and an e-mail address for communications directly with the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or the non-management directors as a group. In addition, Fannie Mae will publish on its website and in its proxy statement a procedure for communicating with the Audit Committee regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters.

Director Compensation

Director compensation is a mix of cash, options, and restricted stock. Vesting over a period of years, director equity compensation is designed to align director interests with stockholders’ long-term value. Non-management directors’ total compensation is targeted to be consistent with the compensation philosophy applicable to senior management. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for recommending compensation for non-management directors on the Board and reviews non-management director compensation once a year. Management directors do not receive additional compensation for Board service.

Director Orientation and Continuing Education

New directors participate in an orientation program to assist in familiarizing them with Fannie Mae’s business and their responsibilities as directors. The Secretary of the corporation is responsible for providing the orientation program to new directors. The orientation program addresses at a minimum Fannie Mae’s corporate powers and limitations; an overview of Fannie Mae’s business; the housing finance industry; key corporate performance indicators; strategic goals, risks, and the Fannie Mae workforce; and technological change in the industry. Orientation sessions are also provided to new members of Board committees. Fannie Mae supports directors’ periodic participation in continuing education programs to assist them in performing their Board responsibilities. In addition, the corporation conducts in-house director education programs on relevant topics.

Board Performance Evaluation

The Board’s performance can have an important effect on the overall, long-term business performance of the corporation. The Board conducts an annual self-evaluation to assess its effectiveness, on the basis of criteria developed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and approved by the Board. Each of the Board’s committees conducts an annual self-evaluation. The ability of individual directors to contribute to the Board is assessed in connection with the renomination process.

Management Evaluation and Succession

The Compensation Committee conducts an annual review of the performance of the corporation and the Chairman of the Board and CEO and senior management. The Chairman of the Board and CEO and other management directors are not present when the Committee meets to evaluate their performance. The Committee Chair reports on that evaluation to the non-management directors of the Board. The annual performance review is based, in large part, upon ratings and commentary provided on an annual CEO Evaluation Form distributed to the entire Board. The CEO rating factors include: strategic thinking; providing vision and direction; accelerating change; intellectual honesty; integrity; motivating and energizing people; teamwork and partnering; influencing delivering results; valuing all people; and developing management. The review includes the Compensation Committee’s own assessment and reflects discussions with other Board members.

On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee and the non-management members of the Board review management succession planning with the Chairman of the Board and CEO. The Chairman and CEO meets in executive session with the nonmanagement Board on at least an annual basis to discuss

B-5


succession planning for the CEO and the company’s key executives. During the Chairman of the Board’s absence or inability to act, or during the vacancy of the office, the Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer shall perform the duties and exercise the authority of the Chairman, until a temporary or permanent successor to the Chairman and CEO is appointed by the Board.

Codes of Conduct

Fannie Mae’s Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct applicable to all Fannie Mae employees, which is posted on the company’s website. Each employee must annually certify compliance with the Code. The Audit Committee oversees implementation and compliance of the Code.

The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Conflict of Interests Policy for Members of the Board of Directors, which is posted on the company’s website. Each director must annually certify compliance with the Directors’ Code. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees implementation and compliance with the Directors’ Code.

Implementation of the Guidelines

If the Board ascertains at any time that any of the Guidelines set forth herein are not in full force and effect, the Board shall take such action as it deems necessary to assure full compliance.

For purposes of this Section 1.5(b),

 (b)Adjustments to Awards.  If any of the events described in Section 8.2(a) occurs, then the Committee shall, in the manner and to the extent (if any) as it deems appropriate and equitable, (i) proportionately adjust any or all of (1) the number and type of shares of Common Stock that thereafter may be made the subject of Awards (including the specific maximum set forth in Section 1.5), (2) the number, amount and type of shares of Common Stock subject to any or all outstanding Awards, (3) the grant, purchase or exercise price of any or all outstanding Awards, (4) the shares of Common Stock or cash deliverable upon exercise of any outstanding Awards, or (5) the performance standards appropriate to any outstanding Awards; or (ii) make provision for a cash payment or for the substitution or exchange of any or all outstanding Awards based upon the distribution or consideration payable to holders of Common Stock upon or in respect of the event; provided, however, in each case, that with respect to Awards of Incentive Stock Options,

no adjustment shall be made that would cause the Plan to violate Section 422 or 424(a) of the Code or any successor provisions thereto.

C-16


 8.3Compliance with Laws.  The Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan and the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock and the payment of money under the Plan or under Awards granted hereunder are subject to compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to state and federal securities law and federal margin requirements) and to approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for Fannie Mae, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the person acquiring the securities shall, if requested by Fannie Mae, provide such assurances and representations to Fannie Mae, as Fannie Mae may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements.

 8.4Tax Withholding.  Upon any exercise, vesting or payment of any Award or upon the disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option prior to satisfaction of the holding period requirements of Section 422 of the Code (or any successor provision), the Committee may make such provisions and take such steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding by Fannie Mae of all federal, state, local and other taxes required by law to be withheld, including without limitation, the right, at its option, to the extent permitted by law (i) to require the Participant (or Personal Representative or Beneficiary, as the case may be) to pay or provide for payment of the amount of any taxes that Fannie Mae may be required to withhold with respect to the transaction as a condition to the release of the shares of Common Stock or the making of any payment or distribution, or (ii)(a) to deduct from any amount payable in cash, or (b) to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable (or otherwise reacquire such shares), based upon their Fair Market Value on the date of delivery, or (c) to grant the Participant the right to elect reduction in the number of shares upon such terms and conditions as it may establish for the amount of any taxes that Fannie Mae may be required to withhold.

 8.5Plan Amendment, Termination and Suspension.

 (a)Board Authorization.  Subject to this Section 8.5, the Board may, at any time, terminate or amend, modify or suspend the Plan, in whole or in part. No Awards may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after termination of the Plan, but the Committee shall retain jurisdiction as to Awards then outstanding in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

 (b)Shareholder Approval.  If any amendment would (i) materially increase the benefits accruing under the Plan, or (ii) materially increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except as provided in Section 8.2), then to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the Board or as required by law or the rules of the NYSE, such amendment shall be subject to shareholder approval.

 (c)Amendments to Awards.  Without limiting any other express authority granted under the Plan, but subject to its express limits, the Committee may waive conditions of or limitations on Awards, without the consent of the Participant, and may make other changes to the terms and conditions of Awards that do not affect the Participant’s rights and benefits under an Award in any materially adverse manner.

 (d)Limitations on Amendments to Plan and Awards.  No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan or any change affecting any outstanding Award shall, without the written consent of the Participant, Beneficiary or Personal Representative, as applicable, affect in any manner materially adverse to such person any rights or benefits of any such person or any obligations of Fannie Mae under any Award granted under the Plan prior to the effective date of such change; however, any changes made pursuant to Section 8.2 shall not be deemed to constitute changes or amendments for purposes of this Section 8.5.

 8.6Privileges of Stock Ownership.Except as otherwise expressly authorized by the Committee or the Plan and expressly stated in an Award Document, a Participant shall not be entitled to any privilege of stock ownership as to any shares of Common Stock not actually delivered to and held of record by the Participant. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other shareholder rights for which a record date is prior to the date of delivery of such shares.

 8.7Effective Date of the Plan.The Plan shall be effective as of the date of the meeting at which the shareholders of Fannie Mae approve it.

 8.8Term of the Plan.Except for any Award pursuant to Section 7.2 granted to a Nonmanagement Director who is newly appointed or elected to the Board during the2010-2014 cycle, noNo Award shall be granted after the Plan Termination Date. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Document, any Award may extend beyond the Plan Termination Date, and all authority of the Committee with respect to Awards hereunder shall continue during any suspension of the Plan and in respect of Awards outstanding on the Plan Termination Date.

 8.9 Governing Law/Construction/Severability.

 (a)Choice of Law.  The Plan, the Awards, all documents evidencing Awards, and all other related documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the District of Columbia, without reference to its principles of conflicts of law.

 (b)Severability.  If any provision shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Plan shall continue in effect.

 8.10Captions.Captions and headings are given to the sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. The headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or of its provisions.

 8.11Effect of Change of Subsidiary Status.For purposes of the Plan and any Award, if an entity ceases to be a Subsidiary, the employment of all Participants who are employed by such entity shall be deemed to have terminated, except any Participant who continues as an employee of another entity within Fannie Mae.

 8.12Nonexclusivity of Plan.Nothing in the Plan shall limit or be deemed to limit the authority of the Board or the Committee to grant awards or authorize any other compensation, with or without reference to the Common Stock, under any other plan or authority.

 8.13Plan Binding on Successors.The obligations of Fannie Mae under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Fannie Mae, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of Fannie Mae. Fannie Mae agrees that it will make appropriate provisions for the preservation of all Participants’ rights under the Plan in any agreement or plan that it may enter into or adopt to effect any such merger, consolidation, reorganization or transfer of assets.
