Fannie Mae Launches Tender Offers for Connecticut Avenue Securities Notes
Fannie Mae announced fixed-price cash tender offers to repurchase all outstanding CAS Notes in a move affecting its credit risk transfer program.
Fannie Mae (OTCQB: FNMA) announced Tuesday it has commenced fixed-price cash tender offers targeting the full outstanding balance of select Connecticut Avenue Securities notes, commonly known as CAS Notes, according to a company statement issued September 28, 2026.
The offers, described collectively as the "Offers" in company filings, are structured as any-and-all transactions, meaning Fannie Mae seeks to retire the entire outstanding amount of each targeted note series rather than a capped portion. Fixed-price cash tender offers of this type allow the issuer to set predetermined repurchase prices, giving noteholders certainty on proceeds.

Connecticut Avenue Securities are a key component of Fannie Mae's credit risk transfer program, through which the government-sponsored enterprise shifts mortgage credit risk away from taxpayers and onto private capital markets. Repurchasing these instruments could signal balance-sheet restructuring or reflect favorable conditions for retiring that debt at the fixed prices offered.
The announcement comes as Fannie Mae continues to operate under federal conservatorship, making any significant capital markets activity subject to close regulatory attention. Investors holding the affected CAS series will need to evaluate the fixed tender prices against prevailing secondary market valuations before deciding whether to tender their notes.
Full details on the specific CAS series included, applicable tender prices, and offer deadlines were outlined in the formal offer documents accompanying the announcement. Continue reading at All Financial Services & Investing.
