What Happened

Brinch, EVP and Chief Risk Officer of Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corp (AGM), had 476 shares of Farmer Mac Class C stock withheld on March 31, 2026 to satisfy tax withholding related to vested restricted stock units. The 476 shares were valued at $144.36 each, for a total of $68,715. These were net-share withholdings tied to multiple RSU vesting events (time-based and performance-based), not an open-market sale.

Context
This is a routine tax-withholding (net-share settlement) following RSU vesting — common corporate practice and not an open-market sale signaling a change in insider sentiment. The filing documents a mix of time-based and performance-based RSU vestings (including a performance payout at 200%), and the company retained shares to satisfy the tax obligation.
