  1. On March 31, 2026, (i) 170 restricted stock units vested as the third installment of the time-based award granted in March 2023, for which the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation ("Farmer Mac") retained 83 shares to satisfy withholding requirements, (ii) 508 performance-based restricted stock units vested that were granted in March 2023 (254 target units vesting at a 200% performance factor), for which Farmer Mac retained 246 shares to satisfy withholding requirements, (iii) 135 restricted stock units vested as the second installment of the time-based award granted in March 2024, for which Farmer Mac retained 66 shares to satisfy withholding requirements, and (iv) 167 restricted stock units vested as the first installment of the time-based award granted in March 2025, for which Farmer Mac retained 81 shares to satisfy withholding requirements.

restricted stock units financial
"170 restricted stock units vested as the third installment of the time-based award"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
performance-based restricted stock units financial
"508 performance-based restricted stock units vested that were granted in March 2023"
Performance-based restricted stock units are a type of employee equity award that converts into company shares only if predefined financial or operational targets are met over a set period. Think of it like a bonus check that becomes stock only when specific goals are hit; it ties pay to results, aligning managers’ incentives with shareholders. Investors care because these awards affect future share count, executive incentives, and signal how management’s success will be measured and rewarded.
