Dear David:


I am writing to bring a matter to your attention regarding your 2020 compensation from Freddie Mac.
As you know, the Equity in Government Compensation Act of 2015 (“Act”) limits the amount of compensation to the CEO of no more than $600,000 annually.  As part of our year end process in    producing the Executive Compensation disclosure for the 2020 Annual Report, we identified the fact that  you have received base salary during the 2020 calendar year in excess of $600,000.
The total amount in excess of $600,000 is $23,076.93. The excess is directly attributable to an extra pay period in 2020. There were 27 pay periods in 2020 as opposed to the normal 26 pay periods that       typically occur in a calendar year. 
Due to this overpayment, Freddie Mac is hereby requesting that you repay the net (after federal and       state tax withholding) amount of $15,216.90.  
If you would like to reduce this repayment amount further, you may sign the attached FICA form      regarding your Medicare taxes, which would authorize Freddie Mac to seek a refund of these taxes and consequently reduce the repayment amount to $14,882.28.  (Otherwise, if you wish, you can pay the  slightly larger amount, and seek the Medicare tax refund yourself.) 
Please sign below to affirm your agreement to make this repayment, and return the signed copy back to   me electronically at gregory_watchman@freddiemac.com at your earliest convenience.   Then please    send a check in the above amount made out to Freddie Mac to 131 S. Dearborn, 6th Floor, Chicago,     Illinois 60603.  Please add the following to the memo line on the check: *Account Number Redacted*.


Many thanks,
Greg

VP & Deputy General Counsel
