Bulletin No. 1416

Partial Repurchase of Excess Capital Stock

Dear Chief Executive Officer:

I am pleased to announce that the Bank plans to repurchase up to $750 million in excess capital stock on November 14, 2012.

On the repurchase date, the Bank will determine the amount of excess stock to be repurchased from each shareholder based on the total amount of stock (including mandatorily redeemable capital stock) outstanding to all shareholders on that date. For example, based on total capital stock outstanding as of October 24, 2012, the Bank would repurchase approximately 9.3% of each shareholder's total capital stock, to the extent that the shareholder had sufficient excess capital stock. Shareholders with excess stock on the repurchase date may not opt out of the repurchase.

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.

A shareholder may identify which shares of excess capital stock are to be repurchased by notifying the Bank in writing on or before November 13, 2012. 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 shareholder 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 November 14, 2012. 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.

Sincerely,


Dean Schultz
President and Chief Executive Officer
