Agenda

Background on
Fannie and Freddie
3
Prior to the Great Depression
Banks would lend at floating interest rates for a short term to match the
structure of their deposit funding sources
Supply of mortgage credit was limited and required large initial down
payments
Availability and pricing of mortgage credit varied widely across the U.S.
due to localized funding
4
The Great Depression
The banking system was near collapse and was unable and unwilling to
provide a meaningful amount of mortgage credit
5
Government’s Response to the Great Depression
Since the 1980s, Fannie and Freddie have played an increasingly vital
role in providing borrowers with access to an ample supply of credit

The GSEs’ Role in the Marketplace
14
The GSEs Enable Low-Cost 30-Year Mortgage Availability
Low-cost financing
When interest rates decline, borrowers can refinance, lowering their monthly
payments
The high level of liquidity for GSE MBS lowers mortgage interest rates
15
Prior to the Great Financial Crisis, the GSEs Had
Two Distinct Lines of Business
Fannie and Freddie’s failure during the GFC was exacerbated by two initiatives not core to
their original charter – the FIA business, and their guarantee of subprime and Alt-A loans
(1) Fannie and Freddie today hold ~$180 billion of investment assets on balance sheet, a large portion of which is related to warehousing of mortgage loans for future MBS
issuances, as well as workouts of non-performing loans in prior MBS issuances. 16

Warren Buffett’s Perspectives on FIA
“The portfolios are what really got them into the trouble. The
portfolios were the ways that the managements of Freddie
and Fannie tried to juice up the earnings, basically, because
the insurance guaranteed that they were given that mortgage.
I always thought that made a lot of sense. But the portfolio
operations enabled both of those entities to use, in effect,
government-related borrowing costs and sort of unlimited
credit, to set up the biggest hedge fund in the world...So the
portfolios are poison. They aren’t really needed to carry out
the function of Freddie and Fannie.”
35
The GSEs are No Longer in the FIA Business
The GSEs’ fixed-income arbitrage business has been wound down, and
the GSEs today hold $182bn of mortgage loans to support their core
guarantee business, well below caps set by Treasury

received from the GSEs, ~$25bn more than what was owed under the

Our Framework for Ending Conservatorship
With capital levels appropriate for pure mortgage guarantors/insurers, the GSEs
can be a simple, low-risk, long-term solution for housing finance
49
FHFA’s capital rule, finalized in 2020 and
amended in 2022 and 2023, increased the
capital requirements for the GSEs’
guarantee business from an inadequate
pre-crisis level of 0.45% to an overly
conservative, impractical level of 4%

Exemption of GSE securities from Volcker rule (keep for GSE MBS only)
Lack of exposure limits for banks investing in Fannie and Freddie debt
securities (keep for GSE MBS only)
(1) The proposed 2.5% capital ratio would be inclusive of any additional capital buffer required due to SIFI designation. Regardless of SIFI status, we believe required capital
levels should be set at a level that balances the need to minimize the likelihood that the government is called upon for funds in a housing downturn, enables the GSEs to
earn adequate returns to attract sufficient private capital, and keeps mortgage credit affordable and widely available. 64
2 Limit Government-Granted Benefits (Cont.)
20% risk weighting for GSE MBS (vs. 50% for private label MBS)

Path to a “Re-IPO”: GGP Case Study
GGP Share Price Pro Rata HHC Shares and GGP Stock Dividend (1)
Source: Bloomberg, public filings. BAM = Brookfield Asset Management, SPG = Simon Property Group, BPF = BAM, Pershing Square and Fairholme.
Note: GGP is presented as an illustrative example of a company, that like Fannie and Freddie, was a public company that experienced financial distress, delisted from the NYSE, and was then able to restructure and re-list. There are
significant differences between GGP and Fannie and Freddie, especially that Fannie and Freddie are GSEs in conservatorship. There is no guarantee that Fannie or Freddie can execute a strategy similar to GGP or that they would have
similar results. GGP’s share price is provided for illustrative purposes only and while GGP was an investment of the Pershing Funds, its share price over time is not an indication of past or future returns of the Pershing Square funds. 91
(1) Includes GGP stock dividend paid January 28, 2010 and pro rata HHC shares received in spinoff on November 9, 2010.

Thoughts on UST Senior Preferred
An attempt to convert the SPS into common would invite new litigation
Precludes any new private capital raise as no investor will buy common stock in
the companies with potentially existential litigation outstanding
Would delay a conservatorship exit well beyond the current administration’s term
In the unlikely scenario that a re-IPO and exit from conservatorship were
possible, an SPS conversion would severely impact the GSEs’ valuation
Investors would either assign a very low valuation multiple to a company whose
prior shareholders were wiped out by the government without just compensation,
or more likely choose not to invest
97
Thoughts on UST Senior Preferred (Cont.)
(1) Scenarios in which the SPS is converted to common assume the junior preferred is left outstanding rather than converted to common to avoid model circularity. 98

“Had we stopped the sweep of capital day one, by the time we got to the fourth
year of the Trump administration, we easily could have done a secondary offering
or two and fully capitalize the companies, or get very close it.”
