General
Eligibility
|
|
An
employee who, as of the LTI grant date, is classified by Freddie
Mac (in its sole discretion) as either (i) an active,
full-time or part-time officer or director, or an officer or
director on short term disability and/or approved leaves of absence
or (ii) is classified by Freddie Mac as a LTI eligible
non-officer in a market-priced position. However, Senior Vice
Presidents, Executive Vice Presidents, and the Chief Executive
Officer are not eligible to participate in this program until such
time as Freddie Mac has additional guidance from the Federal
Housing Finance Agency on the application of recent announcements
by the U.S. Department of Treasury, as well the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act’s restrictions on executive
compensation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Aggregate Corporate LTI
Pool
|
|
The
corporate-wide aggregate value of the LTI grants is equal to the
sum of annualized LTI targets of employees eligible to participate
in the LTI program. Each Division’s share of the
corporate-wide pool is equal to the aggregate value of its eligible
employees’ LTI targets as a percentage of the corporate LTI
pool, less the aggregate value of the LTI targets for Division
employees who are direct reports to the Chief Executive Officer,
subject to any adjustment in the allocation by the Chief Executive
Officer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Individual LTI
Targets
|
|
Officers : LTI target is the employee’s
target in effect on the date that the grant is approved.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Directors: For non-market priced director-level
employees, the LTI target is the LTI target applicable to the
position’s salary grade. For LTI eligible employees in a
market priced position, the LTI target generally is the salary
grade target that is closest to the median of the Estimated Market
Distribution 1 of such position, subject to the
protocol established by the Human Resources Division for
market-priced positions LTI eligibility and targets.

|
|
|
|
|
LTI Grant Amount
|
|
For

receives a Business Results Rating (BRR) of 1 is not eligible to
receive a LTI grant and an employee who receives a BRR of
2 may, subject to the Division Head’s approval,
receive a LTI grant, which in most instances will be substantially
below their target, and (b) no more than 5% of the
participants can receive between 100% and 150% of their LTI target
but in no event can the aggregate amount exceed the Aggregate
Corporate LTI Pool approved by the Compensation
Committee.
