Flash: Fannie Mae cuts dividend

CNBC reports that Fannie Mae (NYSE: FNM) has cut its dividend from $.50 to $.35. Shares are off 4.4% to $33.66.

The company has 975 million shares outstanding.

The company also plans to raise $7 billion according to Bloomberg.

Fannie Mae's shares have been under pressure because of write-offs related to the sub-prime mortgage fiasco. Fortune recently wrote that the company could face another $5 billion in write-offs.
