***Appointment of New Director***

On March 13, 2023, Michael Seelig was appointed to the Board of Directors of Fannie Mae (formally, the Federal National Mortgage Association), effective as of that date. 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.

In addition to helping companies navigate risk, regulatory, mergers and acquisitions, financial reporting, corporate governance and strategy matters, Mr. Seelig served in a variety of leadership roles within PricewaterhouseCoopers, where he was responsible for driving various aspects of the firm's strategy and operations in several national, market and sector-based capacities. Mr. Seelig is a licensed certified public accountant and a member of the American Institute of Certified Professional Accountants, or AICPA.
