On June 5, 2009, the Board of Directors of Freddie Mac
(formally known as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation)
approved a technical correction to
Section 4.2(a)
of the company’s Bylaws, effective immediately, to include

Section 4.2(a):
“and at least one person from an organization that has
represented consumer or community interests for not less than
two years or one person who has demonstrated a career commitment
to the provision of housing for low-income households”
Section 4.2(a),
as amended, is set forth below in its entirety:
Section 4.2 Number, Qualification and Term
of Office.
(a) The Board of
Directors of the Corporation shall consist of 13 persons,
or such other number as the Director of the Federal Housing

homebuilding industry, at least one person from the mortgage
lending industry, at least one person from the real estate
