No immediate capital raising planned: Freddie

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Freddie Mac (FRE.N), the second-largest provider of funding for U.S. residential mortgages, on Friday said it has no immediate plans to raise capital.

The McLean, Virginia-based company earlier on Friday said it was committed to raising $5.5 billion of fresh capital through offerings including common and preferred stock. The fund raising would not be immediate, a spokeswoman said.
