Fannie Mae on Tuesday said it received notice from the New York Stock Exchange that its stock failed to satisfy price-related requirements, and may lose its listing on the exchange.
In a regulatory filing, Fannie Mae said the notice arrived Wednesday. The NYSE requires that the average closing price of a stock remain above $1 per share. Fannie Mae stock, which a year ago was trading as high as $40.45, closed at 47 cents Tuesday.
Fannie Mae said it is working with its conservator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, to explore options to boost the share price, but has not yet determined its response or any specific actions it will take.
If Fannie Mae notifies the NYSE of plans to boost the price, it has six months from the Nov. 12 date of the notification to bring the stock above $1 for 30 consecutive trading days and remain listed.
The mortgage finance company, which was seized by federal regulators in September amid the subprime mortgage meltdown, last week posted a $29 billion loss for the third quarter and warned that its $100 billion lifeline from the government may not be sufficient for its solvency should it continue to lose money.
Fannie Mae has about 1.08 billion shares outstanding.

With the US Gov't holding a 79.9% ownership stake in Fannie via common stock, how much of a loss would we be looking at with a reverse split?
Hmmm...just add that to the tab, I guess.
