 information known by FHFA on an ongoing basis is communicated from FHFA to Freddie Mac's management in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding our required disclosure under the federal securities laws. We consider this situation to be a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Given the inherent nature of this ongoing weakness, we believe it is unlikely that we will be able to remediate this material weakness while under conservatorship.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING DURING 2Q 2025

We evaluated the changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during 2Q 2025 and concluded that there were no changes that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

MITIGATING ACTIONS RELATED TO THE MATERIAL WEAKNESS IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

As described above under Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures, we have one material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025 that we have not remediated.

Given the structural nature of this material weakness, we believe it is likely that we will not remediate it while we are under conservatorship. However, both we and FHFA have continued to engage in activities and employ procedures and practices intended to permit accumulation and communication to management of information needed to meet our disclosure obligations under the federal securities laws. These include the following:

n    FHFA has established a process to facilitate operation of the company under the oversight of the Conservator.

n    We provide drafts of our SEC filings to FHFA personnel for their review and comment prior to filing. We also provide drafts of certain external press releases and statements to FHFA personnel for their review and comment prior to release.

n    FHFA personnel, including senior officials, review our SEC filings prior to filing, including this Form 10-Q, and engage in discussions with us regarding issues associated with the information contained in those filings. Prior to filing this Form 10-Q, FHFA provided us with a written acknowledgment that it had reviewed the Form 10-Q, was not aware of any material misstatements or omissions in the Form 10-Q, and had no objection to our filing the Form 10-Q.

n    Our senior management meets regularly with senior leadership at FHFA, including, but not limited to, the Director.

n    FHFA representatives attend meetings frequently with various groups within the company to enhance the flow of information and to provide oversight on a variety of matters, including
