Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Transaction effected pursuant to a trading plan adopted by Mr. Mullery in accordance with Rule 10b5-1.
(2)	In connection with the net share settlement of the exercise of 3,000 vested stock appreciation rights ("SARs") granted in October 2011 with a grant price of $18.14 per share, Mr. Mullery was entitled to receive 2,448 shares of the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation's ("Farmer Mac") Class C Non-Voting Common Stock. Farmer Mac retained 1,183 shares to satisfy tax withholding requirements arising from the exercise, and 1,265 shares retained by Mr. Mullery were sold on July 27, 2018. The 552 shares reported as a disposition to the issuer of issuer equity securities represents the difference between the number of SARs exercised and the number of shares issuable as a result of the exercise. Each SAR represents the right to receive, upon exercise, the number of shares of Farmer Mac's Class C Non-Voting Common Stock equal to the excess of the fair market value of shares on the exercise date over the grant price.
(3)	Includes 6,758 shares of unvested restricted stock previously granted pursuant to Farmer Mac's Amended and Restated 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The grants of restricted stock have been described in detail in Farmer Mac's prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(4)	Exercisable beginning August 31, 2012 with respect to 1,000 shares, beginning August 31, 2013 with respect to 1,000 shares, and beginning August 31, 2014 with respect to 1,000 shares.
