Authority to Borrow from the U.S. Treasury

Farmer Mac's statutory charter authorizes it to borrow up to $1.5 billion from the U.S. Treasury through the issuance of debt obligations to the U.S. Treasury. Any funds borrowed from the U.S. Treasury may be used solely for the purpose of fulfilling Farmer Mac's guarantee obligations.  Any debt obligations issued by Farmer Mac under this authority would bear interest at a rate determined by the U.S. Treasury, taking into consideration the average rate on outstanding marketable obligations of the United States as of the last day of the last calendar month ending before the date of the purchase of the obligations from Farmer Mac.  The charter requires Farmer Mac to repurchase any of its debt obligations held by the U.S. Treasury within a reasonable time.  As of December 31, 2014, Farmer Mac had not used this borrowing authority and does not expect to use this borrowing authority in the future.

Gains on Repurchase of Outstanding Debt

No outstanding debt repurchases were made in 2014 or 2012. In 2013, Farmer Mac repurchased $29.1 million of outstanding debt at a gain of $1.5 million.
