Settlement Date<br />

Bailout Announcement<br />

Figure 6 shows that the pattern of fails in Freddie Mac from January 1 to September 30,<br />

2008 is not consistent with any repeated pattern to prevent it from getting on the<br />

threshold list. There is not pattern of fails going repeatedly above and below the<br />

threshold list criteria of 0.5%. The government bailout was announced on September 7,<br />

2008. Therefore, the first settlement date corresponding to trading after the<br />

announcement was September 11, 2008. From September 11, 2008 to September 29,<br />

2008, Freddie Mac fails were above 0.5% for 13 consecutive days and, as expected, it<br />

entered the threshold list on September 17, 2008. Therefore, there is no evidence<br />

supportive of manipulation to prevent Freddie Mac from getting on the threshold list.<br />
