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

On March 28, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (the “Bank”) approved an amendment (the “Employment Agreement Amendment”) to the employment agreement between the Bank and its President & CEO, Matthew R. Feldman. Compensation actions affecting the Bank's executive officers, including the Employment Agreement Amendment, are subject to prior review by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”). After receiving a letter of non-objection from the FHFA, the Bank entered into the Employment Agreement Amendment with Mr. Feldman on July 23, 2013. The Employment Agreement Amendment, effective as of January 1, 2013, (i) revises Mr. Feldman's employment agreement to allow Mr. Feldman to participate in the Bank's new President and Executive Team Incentive Compensation Plan, as described in a Form 8-K filed by the Bank on June 14, 2013 and (ii) terminates Mr. Feldman's participation in the President's Short-term Incentive Compensation Plan except for payment of the final deferred portion of Mr. Feldman's incentive award under that plan for the 2011 plan year, as described beginning on page 106 of the 2011 Form 10-K filed by the Bank on March 16, 2012.
