Exhibit 4.11
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION OF TERMS
OF
NON-CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK, SERIES
O
1. Designation, Par Value
and Number of Shares.
The
designation of the series of preferred stock of the Federal
National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) created by
this resolution shall be “Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock,
Series O” (the “Series O Preferred
Stock”), and the number of shares initially constituting the
Series O Preferred Stock is 50,000,000. Shares of
Series O Preferred Stock will have no par value and a stated
value and liquidation preference of $50 per share. The Board of
Directors of Fannie Mae, or a duly authorized committee thereof, in
its sole discretion, may reduce the number of shares of
Series O Preferred Stock, provided such reduction is not below
the number of shares of Series O Preferred Stock then
outstanding.
2. Dividends.
(a) Holders of record of Series O
Preferred Stock (each individually a “Holder”, or
collectively the “Holders”) will be entitled to
receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of
Fannie Mae, or a duly authorized committee thereof, in its sole
discretion out of funds legally available therefor, non-cumulative
quarterly dividends which will accrue from and including the date
of issuance and will be payable on March 31, June 30,
September 30 and December 31 of each year (each, a
“Dividend Payment Date”), commencing March 31,
2005. If a Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day, the related
dividend (if declared) will be paid on the next succeeding Business
Day with the same force and effect as though paid on the Dividend
Payment Date, without any increase to account for the period from
such Dividend Payment Date through the date of actual payment. A
“Business Day” shall mean any day other than a
Saturday, Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in New
York, New York are authorized by law to close. Dividends will be
paid to Holders on the record date fixed by the Board of Directors
or a duly authorized committee thereof, which may not be earlier
than 45 days or later than 10 days prior to the
applicable Dividend Payment Date.
If
declared, the initial dividend, which will be for the period from
and including the date of issuance to but excluding March 31,
2005, will be 7.000% per annum, or $0.8847 per share. Thereafter,
if declared, quarterly dividends will accrue at a variable per
annum rate equal to the greater of (1) 7.000% and (2) the
sum of the Ten Year CMT Rate (as defined below) applicable to such
quarterly period plus 2.375%. On March 31, 2005 and each
June 30, September 30, December 31 and March 31
thereafter, the previous dividend rate will be replaced with the
dividend rate determined in accordance with the immediately
preceding sentence. In determining the dividend rate for any
Dividend Period (as defined below), the Ten Year CMT Rate for such
Dividend Period will be calculated by Fannie Mae on the second
Business Day immediately preceding the first day of such Dividend
Period ( each a “Determination Date”). The
“Dividend Period” relating to a Dividend Payment Date
will be the period from and including the preceding Dividend
Payment Date (or, in the case of the initial dividend,
December 30, 2004) to but excluding such Dividend Payment
Date. If Fannie Mae redeems the Series O Preferred Stock, the
dividend that would otherwise be payable for the then-current
quarterly Dividend Period will be included in the redemption price
of the shares redeemed and will not be separately
payable.
Dividends payable on the Series O Preferred
Stock for any period greater or less than a full Dividend Period
will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months. The amount of dividends per share payable at
redemption will be rounded to the fourth digit after the decimal
point. Dividends payable on the Series O Preferred Stock for
each full Dividend Period will be computed by dividing the per
annum dividend rate by four. The amount of quarterly dividends per
share will be calculated by multiplying the preceding rate by the
stated value per share of $50, the product of which will be rounded
to the fourth digit after the decimal point. (If the fifth digit to
the right of the decimal point is five or greater, the fourth digit
will be rounded up by one.)
The
“Ten Year CMT Rate” for any Determination Date with
respect to any Dividend Period will be the rate equal to (in the
following order of priority):
(1) the one-week average yield on 10-year
United States Treasury securities at “constant
maturity” as estimated from the United States Department of
the Treasury’s weekly yield curve, as published in the latest
H.15(519) (as defined below) available on the applicable
Determination Date with respect to such Dividend Period, provided
that such H.15(519) was first available not earlier than ten
calendar days before such Determination Date, under the column
“Week Ending” for the week most recently ended opposite
the heading “U.S. government securities-Treasury Constant
Maturities, 10-year.”
(2) if the latest H.15(519) available on
the applicable Determination Date with respect to such Dividend
Period was first available prior to ten calendar days before such
Determination Date, the Ten Year CMT Rate will be such 10-year
United States Treasury constant maturity rate (or other 10-year
United States Treasury rate) for such Determination Date as may
then be published by either the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System or the United States Department of the Treasury that
Fannie Mae determines to be comparable to the rate formerly
published in H.15(519).
(3) if the Ten Year CMT Rate as described
in clause (2) is not published by 10:00 a.m. (New York
City time) on the applicable Determination Date, the Ten Year CMT
Rate will be calculated by Fannie Mae and will be a yield to
maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent and as a decimal on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied
on a daily basis) based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary
market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on such Determination Date of three leading primary United
States government securities dealers in The City of New York
selected by Fannie Mae (from five such dealers and eliminating the
highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the
highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality,
one of the lowest)) for direct noncallable fixed rate obligations
of the United States (“Treasury Notes”) most recently
issued with an original maturity of approximately 10 years and
a remaining term to maturity of not less than nine years. If three
or four (and not five) of such dealers are quoting as described in
this clause (3), then the Ten Year CMT Rate will be based on the
arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest
nor lowest of such quotations will be eliminated.
(4) if fewer than three dealers selected by
Fannie Mae are quoting as described in clause (3), the Ten Year CMT
Rate will be calculated by Fannie Mae and will be a yield to
maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent and as a decimal on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied
on a daily basis) based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary
market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on the applicable Determination Date of three
leading
