Freddie Mac to sell $2 bln in bills on Monday

NEW YORK, July 31 | Fri Jul 31, 2009 10:36am EDT

NEW YORK, July 31 (Reuters) - Freddie Mac FRE.P said Friday it plans to sell $2.0 billion of reference bills on Monday.

The scheduled offerings are:

-- $1.0 billion of three-month bills due Nov. 2, 2009 to be sold Monday and settle Tuesday; and

-- $1.0 billion of six-month bills due Feb. 1, 2010 to be sold Monday and settle Tuesday.

The bills will be sold over the Internet in a Dutch auction. In such uniform price auctions, successful bidders pay only the price of the lowest accepted bid rather than the actual price as in a conventional multiple-price auction.

Bids will be accepted from authorized dealers from 8:00 a.m. (1200 GMT) until 9:45 a.m. (Reporting by Caryn Trokie; Editing by James Dalgleish)
