The Board’s appointment of Mr. Seelig is until the earliest of: (1) the third anniversary of the effective date of his appointment while Fannie Mae is in conservatorship; (2) the date on which he resigns or is removed by the conservator while Fannie Mae is in conservatorship; or (3) the date on which his successor is elected at an annual meeting of stockholders in accordance with the Bylaws.
Mr. Seelig has been appointed to serve on the Audit Committee of Fannie Mae’s Board of Directors.
