Enabling REMIC eligibility
In order to facilitate this change, a REMIC tax election is made for a majority of single-family loans we acquire and securitize in MBS,
beginning with loans in MBS pools issued on and after May 1, 2018
■ Extensive industry outreach indicates market agreement that there is no impact to MBS
■ SIFMA's TBA Committee voted on the new structure proposal, identifying no issues that would impair the TBA eligibility
The nature of our MBS, remittances, and cash flows to MBS investors, are unchanged
Starting with 2018-R07, all on-the-run CAS deals in or after November 2018 qualify as REMICS
