(1) Ms. Leibold received 2,212 shares of the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation's Class C Non-Voting Common Stock upon net share settlement of her partial exercise of 3,334 stock appreciation rights with a grant price of $7.78 per share and her partial exercise of 1,667 stock appreciation rights with a grant price of $10.43 per share. Those partial exercises entitled Ms. Leibold to receive 3,773 shares of the Corporation's Class C Non-Voting Common Stock, and 1,561 shares were retained by the Corporation to satisfy tax withholding requirements arising from the exercises. Each stock appreciation right represents the right to receive, upon exercise, the number of shares of the Corporation's Class C Non-Voting Common Stock equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date over the grant price.
(2) Transaction effected pursuant to a trading plan adopted by Ms. Leibold in accordance with Rule 10b5-1.
(3) Exercisable beginning August 31, 2010 with respect to 1667 shares, beginning August 31, 2011 with respect to 1667 shares, and beginning August 31, 2012 with respect to 1666 shares.
(4) Exercisable beginning August 31, 2011 with respect to 1667 shares, beginning August 31, 2012 with respect to 1667 shares, and beginning August 31, 2013 with respect to 1666 shares.
