“This is no bailout, particularly for the shareholders,” Frank said. The federal government “will be senior to all shareholders, preferred and common.”
Holders of the companies’ corporate debt and preferred shares are “very unlikely to come out of this at all happy,” and the chief executive officers will be forced out, Frank said. Paulson met with Fannie Mae CEO Daniel Mudd and Freddie Mac CEO Richard Syron yesterday to tell them of the decision to put the companies into conservatorship, and remove the executives from their jobs, according to two people briefed on the discussions. - Bloomberg, Quotes from U.S. Rep.
