I am pleased to announce that the Bank plans to repurchase up to $500 million in excess capital stock on August 15, 2011.

The Bank will determine the amount of excess stock to be repurchased from any shareholder on August 15, 2011, based on the shareholder’s pro rata ownership share of total capital stock outstanding to all shareholders as of the repurchase date. For example, based on total capital stock outstanding as of July 27, 2011, the percentage share of the $500 million repurchase amount for each shareholder would be approximately 4.5% of the shareholder’s total capital stock outstanding. In this case, the Bank would repurchase 4.5% of the shareholder’s total capital stock outstanding, to the extent that the shareholder had sufficient excess capital stock on the repurchase date. Please note that the actual percentage will be calculated on August 15, 2011. The repurchase of excess capital stock is subject to the Bank continuing to meet all applicable statutory and regulatory conditions for a stock repurchase on and after the repurchase date.

The Bank will use the following pro rata allocation methodology to determine the amount of excess stock to be repurchased from each shareholder. On August 15, 2011, we will:

If a shareholder’s excess stock equals or exceeds the amount allocated, the Bank will repurchase the full amount allocated to that shareholder. If a shareholder’s excess stock is less than the amount allocated, the Bank will repurchase all of the shareholder’s excess stock. If a shareholder has no excess stock on the repurchase date, the Bank will not repurchase any stock from that shareholder. Shareholders with excess stock on the repurchase date may not opt out of the repurchase.

A shareholder may identify which shares of excess capital stock are to be repurchased by notifying the Bank in writing on or before August 11, 2011. If a shareholder does not notify the Bank of the shares to be repurchased in writing before the repurchase date, the Bank will repurchase the excess stock on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis, excluding stock dividends previously credited. If a shareholder does not have enough purchased shares for the repurchase, the Bank will repurchase the necessary amount of stock dividend shares on a LIFO basis after repurchasing all purchased shares. In any case, if a member has submitted a Notice of Redemption on any shares of excess capital stock, those shares will be repurchased first.

We will credit the proceeds from the repurchase of excess capital stock to each shareholder’s Settlement/Transaction Account with the Bank on August 15, 2011. Please note that the funds will become available for withdrawal on the following business day.

For more information about the repurchase of excess capital stock, please contact your Relationship Manager or Craig Wolgamott, Assistant Vice President, Accounting Operations, at (415) 616-2634 or wolgamoc@fhlbsf.com.
