Subject to the Act and Finance Agency regulations, the Bank also issues consolidated obligations through the Office of Finance, maintains a portfolio of short-term and long-term investments, enters into derivative transactions, and provides certain cash management and other services; in each case, with members, housing associates or other third parties of which directors may serve as officers or directors. All such transactions are made in the ordinary course of the Bank's business and are subject to the same Bank policies as transactions with the Bank's members, housing associates and third parties generally. Pursuant to Finance Agency regulation, the Bank's member directors, including the Member Directors, serve as officers or directors of a Bank member. Mr. Strickland is the executive director of a housing associate.

The Bank expects to compensate the Member Directors and the Independent Directors in accordance with the Bank's Directors' Compensation Policy. They also will be entitled to participate in the Bank's Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan, under which each Bank director has the opportunity to defer all or a portion of the amount of his compensation. The form and amount of any compensation to all directors, including the Member Directors and the Independent Directors, is subject to approval by the board of directors of the Bank and subject to the Federal Home Loan Bank Act and Federal Housing Finance Agency regulations.
