Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 6, 2013, the board of directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (the "Bank") elected Richard A. Whaley to fill the vacant member directorship designated for the State of Georgia. Mr. Whaley currently serves as president, chief executive officer, and director of Citizens Bank of Americus, located in Americus, Georgia. He will serve on the credit and member services, executive, finance, and housing and community investment committees. His term will expire on December 31, 2014.

The Bank is a cooperative and conducts business primarily with its members, who are required to own capital stock in the Bank as a prerequisite to transacting certain business with the Bank. Subject to the Federal Home Loan Bank Act and Federal Housing 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.

The Bank will compensate Mr. Whaley in accordance with the Bank's Directors' Compensation Policy. He will also 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 or her compensation.
