PNC and GSE Agree to Resolve Obligations

Dec 06, 2013

The PNC Financial Services Group Inc. announced that its affiliate, PNC Bank, National Association, has reached an agreement in principle with Freddie Mac to resolve substantially all indemnification and repurchase obligations related to loans sold to Freddie Mac between 2000 and 2008. Under terms of the agreement, PNC Bank will pay Freddie Mac a total of $89 million (less credits of $8 million) to resolve certain existing and future repurchase obligations related to approximately 900,000 loans originated and sold to Freddie Mac primarily between 2000 and 2008, and to compensate Freddie Mac for certain past losses and potential future losses relating to denials, rescissions and cancellations of mortgage insurance. The Freddie Mac agreement follows the previously announced agreement in principle that PNC reached with the Fannie Mae to resolve repurchase demands with respect to loans sold between 2000 and 2008. The completion of these settlement agreements will resolve substantially all of PNC Bank's outstanding and potential indemnification and repurchase obligations related to loans sold to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae from 2000 through 2008, subject to certain exceptions which PNC does not believe are material. The agreements remain subject to final documentation and approvals by Freddie Mac's and Fannie Mae's regulator. The amount of the settlements with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae had been fully accrued by PNC Bank as of Sept. 30, 2013.
