Equity [Abstract] |
EQUITY | EQUITY Preferred Stock In May 2021, Farmer Mac issued 5.0 million shares of 4.875% non-cumulative perpetual Series G preferred stock, par value $25.00 per share. Farmer Mac incurred direct costs of $3.7 million related to the issuance of the Series G preferred stock. The dividend rate on the Series G preferred stock will remain at a non-cumulative, fixed rate of 4.875% per year, when, as, and if a dividend is declared by the Board of Directors of Farmer Mac, for so long as the Series G preferred stock remains outstanding. The Series G preferred stock has no maturity date, but Farmer Mac has the option to redeem the preferred stock at any time on any dividend payment date on and after July 17, 2026. Common Stock During each of the first, second, and third quarters in 2021, Farmer Mac paid a quarterly dividend of $0.88 per share on all classes of its common stock. For each quarter in 2020, Farmer Mac paid a quarterly dividend of $0.80 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. The share repurchase program, last modified on March 14, 2019, authorized Farmer Mac to repurchase up to $10.0 million of Farmer Mac's outstanding Class C non-voting common stock. During first quarter 2020, Farmer Mac repurchased approximately 4,000 shares of Class C non-voting common stock at a cost of approximately $0.2 million. Shortly after these repurchases were completed, Farmer Mac indefinitely suspended its share repurchase program in an effort to preserve capital and liquidity in view of market volatility and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2021, Farmer Mac's board of directors reinstated the share repurchase program on its previous terms (with a remaining authorization of up to $9.8 million in stock repurchases) and extended the expiration date of the program to March 2023. Farmer Mac did not repurchase any shares of its Class C non-voting common stock during the first nine months of 2021. As of September 30, 2021, Farmer Mac had repurchased approximately 673,000 shares of Class C non-voting common stock at a cost of approximately $19.8 million under the share repurchase program since 2015. 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the minimum capital requirement was greater than the risk-based capital requirement. Farmer Mac's ability to declare and pay dividends could be restricted if it fails to comply with applicable capital requirements. As of September 30, 2021, Farmer Mac's minimum capital requirement was $699.6 million and its core capital level was $1.2 billion, which was $479.5 million above the minimum capital requirement as of that date. As of December 31, 2020, Farmer Mac's minimum capital requirement was $680.9 million and its core capital level was $1.0 billion, which was $325.5 million above the minimum capital requirement as of that date. In accordance with the Farm Credit Administration's rule on Farmer Mac's capital planning, and as part of Farmer Mac's capital plan, Farmer Mac has adopted a policy for maintaining a sufficient level of Tier 1 capital (consisting of retained earnings, paid-in-capital, common stock, and qualifying preferred stock) and imposing restrictions on Tier 1-eligible dividends and any discretionary bonus payments in the event that this capital falls below specified thresholds.
