WASHINGTON, D.C., August 13, 2026 – The Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (Farmer Mac; NYSE: AGM and AGM.A) today announced the appointment of Nader Pasdar as its Executive Vice President – Chief Business Officer, starting August 17, 2026.

“Nader is a highly respected leader whose deep knowledge of agriculture, rural finance, and capital markets makes him an excellent fit for Farmer Mac and our mission,” said Mr. Carpenter. “His appointment marks an important milestone as we continue evolving to meet the needs of the crucial sectors we serve and position our organization for future growth and success.

Mr. Pasdar has extensive experience working with agricultural lenders, agribusinesses, and investors across rural America. As a founding member of Rabobank’s loan syndication team, he contributed to the execution of hundreds of lead-arranged financings and developed deep relationships throughout the agricultural finance sector and the Farm Credit System. His background combines strategic business development expertise, capital markets leadership, and a longstanding commitment to enhancing the agricultural economy.

Farmer Mac plays a vital role in expanding access to capital and liquidity across these sectors, and I am excited to work alongside Zack, the leadership team, and
