Equity [Abstract] |
EQUITY | EQUITY Preferred Stock On May 13, 2019, Farmer Mac issued 4.0 million shares of 5.700% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series D ("Series D Preferred Stock"), which has a par value and liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, or $100.0 million aggregate outstanding. Farmer Mac incurred direct costs of $3.3 million related to the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock. The dividend rate on the Series D Preferred Stock is a fixed rate of 5.700% per year for the life of the security. Dividends on the Series D Preferred Stock are payable when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors of Farmer Mac and are non-cumulative, so dividends that are not declared for a quarterly payment date will not accrue. The Series D Preferred Stock has no maturity date, but Farmer Mac has the option to redeem the preferred stock on any quarterly dividend payment date on and after July 17, 2024. On June 12, 2019, Farmer Mac used part of the net proceeds from the sale of the Series D Preferred Stock to redeem and repurchase all $75.0 million aggregate outstanding of Farmer Mac's 6.875% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B ("Series B Preferred Stock"), plus any declared and unpaid dividends through and including the redemption date. As a result of the retirement of the Series B Preferred Stock, Farmer Mac recognized $2.0 million of deferred issuance costs, which is presented as "Loss on retirement of preferred stock" on the consolidated statements of operations. Common Stock For the first, second, and third quarter 2019, Farmer Mac paid a quarterly dividend of $0.70 per share on all classes of its common stock. For each quarter in 2018, Farmer Mac paid a quarterly dividend of $0.58 per share on all classes of its common stock. Farmer Mac's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program during third quarter 2015 authorizing Farmer Mac to repurchase up to $25.0 million of its outstanding Class C non-voting common stock for two years. In August 2017, Farmer Mac's Board of Directors approved the continuation of the share repurchase program on its existing terms through August 2019 for the repurchase of up to $5.4 million of Farmer Mac's outstanding Class C non-voting common stock. This is the amount that was remaining under the share repurchase program that Farmer Mac's Board of Directors originally authorized in third quarter 2015 for the repurchase of up to $25.0 million of outstanding Class C non-voting common stock. On March 14, 2019, Farmer Mac's Board of Directors modified the terms of the existing share repurchase program by increasing the authorization for the repurchase to up to $10.0 million of Farmer Mac's outstanding Class C non-voting common stock and extending the term of the program through March 2021. Farmer Mac did not repurchase any shares during the first nine months of 2019 under this program. As of September 30, 2019, Farmer Mac had repurchased approximately 668,000 shares of Class C non-voting common stock at a cost of approximately $19.6 million under the share repurchase program, and has not repurchased any shares since first quarter 2016. Capital Requirements Farmer Mac is required to comply with the higher of the minimum capital requirement and the risk-based capital requirement. As of both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the minimum capital requirement was greater than the risk-based capital requirement.
