FREDDIE MAC ADDS TOUSSAINT CAPITAL PARTNERS TO ITS DEALER GROUP

Toussaint Capital Partners LLC, a boutique investment bank on Wall Street, announced today that it has been added to Freddie Mac’s dealer group. Freddie Mac provides liquidity, stability and affordability to the nation’s housing market. Freddie Mac’s current loan portfolio exceeds $1.5 trillion. “It is an honor to be included in Freddie Mac’s dealer group,” according to Avery F. Byrd, Sr., Chairman and CEO. “This designation really signals to our client base and the financial markets that Toussaint Capital has arrived on the scene”, Bryd added.

Toussaint Capital now becomes one of only 30 firms nationwide in Freddie Mac’s discount notes dealer group. Freddie Mac’s discount note issuance establishes it as one of the largest non-governmental providers of short-term debt in the world. Discount notes are unsecured general corporate obligations that are issued at a discount and mature at par. Freddie Mac’s discount note program gives institutional investors choices in the investment date, maturity date and size of their short-term investments. Freddie Mac’s discount notes are offered on a daily basis.

Toussaint Capital has also been included in the dealer group for Freddie Mac’s Reference Notes and structured notes product. Reference Notes securities are the backbone of Freddie Mac’s term debt products. For 2006, Freddie Mac has scheduled a series of offerings under its funding plan for 2-, 3-, 5- and 10-year Reference Notes securities. The anticipated dates of these offerings may be found on Freddie Mac’s website at www.freddiemac.com.
