PART III – NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

The Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (“Farmer Mac”) filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2013 (“Third Quarter Form 10-Q”) within the time period required for the periodic report on November 12, 2013 (the “Original Filing”) without including the certifications required by Rules 13a-14(a) and 15d-14(a) as exhibits to the Original Filing due to a technological error. Upon realization of this technological error, Farmer Mac filed Amendment No. 1 to the Original Filing (“Amendment 1”) later on November 12, 2013, also within the time period required for the periodic report. Amendment 1 included only the certifications required by Rules 13a-14(a) and 15d-14(a) as exhibits, and not the Third Quarter Form 10-Q in its entirety. Farmer


Mac would not have been able to refile the Third Quarter Form 10-Q in its entirety with the certifications required by Rules 13a-14(a) and 15d-14(a) as exhibits within the time period required for the periodic report on November 12, 2013 without unreasonable effort, as the refiling process would require several hours to complete and the filing deadline for the Third Quarter Form 10-Q would have already elapsed. Accordingly, Farmer Mac has filed Amendment No. 2 to the Original Filing, dated November 13, 2013 (“Amendment 2”), which contains the Third Quarter Form 10-Q in its entirety along with the certifications required by Rules 13a-14(a) and 15d-14(a) as exhibits, as a complete submission.

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Third Quarter Form 10-Q, as amended by Amendment 1 and Amendment 2, and Amendment 2 does not amend, update, or change the financial statements or disclosures in the Third Quarter Form 10-Q, as amended by Amendment 1.
