Explanation of Responses:

1. Includes restricted stock units ("RSUs") previously granted under the Amended and Restated 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan of the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation ("Farmer Mac"). Each RSU represents the contingent right to receive, upon vesting of the unit, one share of Farmer Mac's Class C Non-Voting Common Stock. Mr. Maines was granted: (i) 957 time-based RSUs on April 1, 2020, which will vest on April 15, 2023; (ii) 621 time-based RSUs on March 2, 2021 that includes three installments of 207 RSUs, each of which will vest on March 31, 2022, March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2024, respectively, and [text continued in footnote 2 below].

2. Also includes (iii) a target amount of 310 performance-based RSUs granted on March 2, 2021, which will vest on March 31, 2024 in a varying amount between 50% and 200% of the target amount if Farmer Mac meets certain performance objectives related to business volume, as specified in the related award agreement, for the period starting on January 1, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2023, subject to "gatekeepers" related to compliance with regulatory capital requirements and specified asset quality metrics. Any adjustment to the target award of performance-based RSUs will be reported at the time of the actual determination of performance as compared to the applicable threshold. In no event will the number of shares awarded upon vesting of the performance-based RSUs exceed 200% of the target amount of RSUs.

3. Exercisable beginning March 31, 2022 with respect to 416 shares, beginning March 31, 2023 with respect to 416 shares, and beginning March 31, 2024 with respect to 416 shares.
