Form 8-K for FEDERAL AGRICULTURAL MORTGAGE CORP


29-Jun-2009

Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities


Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On June 25, 2009, Farmer Mac sold 4,200 shares of its Series C non-voting cumulative preferred stock ("Series C") to National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation ("National Rural"). The terms and conditions of Series C are described in more detail in Farmer Mac's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 30, 2008. Farmer Mac sold the 4,200 shares of Series C to National Rural without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(2) for an aggregate purchase price of $4.2 million, or $1,000 per share. The 4,200 shares sold to National Rural resulted in there being 40,000 shares of Series C outstanding as of the date of this report.

In conjunction with the issuance and sale of the 4,200 shares of Series C to National Rural, Farmer Mac guaranteed, and Farmer Mac Mortgage Securities Corporation (Farmer Mac's wholly-owned subsidiary) purchased, an aggregate of $105 million of floating-rate notes representing general obligations of National Rural and secured by eligible rural utilities loans in an amount at least equal to the total principal amount of notes outstanding. The $105 million of notes were advances under a $500 million borrowing facility with National Rural entered into in February 2009 that is similar to the $500 million facility described in Farmer Mac's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 19, 2008. In connection with each advance made under the February 2009 facility, National Rural is required to purchase shares of Series C in an amount sufficient to maintain a balance at all times that is at least equal to 4% of the principal amount of the notes outstanding under the facility ($500 million as of the date of this report). This feature is part of a program Farmer Mac has developed under which a participant utilizing Farmer Mac for guarantee and purchase transactions involving portfolios of qualified loans will be required to purchase an equity interest in Farmer Mac in the form of shares of Series C, thereby enabling Farmer Mac to raise additional capital to support its mission of providing liquidity and lending capacity to agricultural and rural utilities lenders.
