Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 31, 2009, pursuant to a request by the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) provided $30.8 billion in immediately available funds to Freddie Mac in accordance with the terms of the Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement between Freddie Mac and Treasury, in order to address the $30.7 billion deficit in stockholders' equity that existed at December 31, 2008. As a result of this draw, the aggregate liquidation preference of the senior preferred stock has increased from $14.8 billion to $45.6 billion.
