Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 20, 2021, the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (“Farmer Mac”), Farmer Mac Mortgage Securities Corporation (“FMMSC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Farmer Mac, and the National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation (“CFC”) entered into a Third Amended and Restated First Supplemental Note Purchase Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”), which amends and restates in its entirety the Second Amended and Restated First Supplemental Note Purchase Agreement dated as of February 26, 2018 (the “Original Agreement”) and previously filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Farmer Mac’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 10, 2018 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The parties entered into the Original Agreement and the Amended Agreement pursuant to the Amended and Restated Master Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 24, 2011 and previously filed as Exhibit 10.22 to Farmer Mac’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 10, 2011 with the SEC, which governs the notes issued under the Amended Agreement by CFC and purchased by FMMSC. The Amended Agreement extends the borrowing period from January 11, 2022 to June 30, 2026 (with successive automatic one-year renewals without notice by either party to the contrary, subject to termination of the borrowing period by Farmer Mac or FMMSC upon 425 days' prior written notice).

CFC is the third-largest owner of Farmer Mac’s Class A voting common stock and is named as a holder of more than 5% of Farmer Mac’s Class A voting common stock in Farmer Mac’s Proxy Statement dated April 7, 2021 and filed with the SEC on that same date. The Amended Agreement described above was entered into on an arms-length basis in the ordinary course of business, with terms and conditions comparable to those available to other business counterparties that do not have a related party relationship with Farmer Mac.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On May 20, 2021, Farmer Mac priced an offering of $125 million (5,000,000 shares) of 4.875% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series G (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock has a par value of $25.00 per share and a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. The net proceeds before expenses to Farmer Mac for the Preferred Stock upon settlement are expected to be approximately $121.5 million. Farmer Mac intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes. The Preferred Stock is not convertible or exchangeable into any other class or series of equity of Farmer Mac. The settlement date for the Preferred Stock offering is expected to be May 27, 2021.

The Preferred Stock was offered in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, because Farmer Mac, a Congressionally chartered corporation, is supervised by and acting as an instrumentality of the United States pursuant to authority granted by Congress.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On May 20, 2021, Farmer Mac issued a press release to announce the pricing of the offering of the Preferred Stock. A copy of the press release is attached to this report as Exhibit 99 and is incorporated herein by reference.
