The Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis ("Bank") announces the retirement of its Executive Vice President - Finance, Robert E. Gruwell. On February 17, 2015, Mr. Gruwell informed the Bank’s President - Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of his decision to retire effective April 3, 2015. On behalf of the Bank, the President-CEO expresses her deep appreciation to Mr. Gruwell for his outstanding commitment to the Bank and the Michigan and Indiana members it serves.
Mr. Gruwell has served as the Bank’s Principal Financial Officer ("PFO") under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission since July 2013, when he was appointed as the Bank’s Chief Financial Officer. It is expected that Gregory L. Teare, the Bank’s current Chief Financial Officer will serve as PFO following Mr. Gruwell's retirement. Additional information concerning the Bank’s Executive Officers may be found in the Bank’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2014 ("Form 10-K").
Under the Bank’s current compensation and benefits arrangements, Mr. Gruwell will be entitled to certain compensation and benefits after his retirement. He will also be compensated for any accrued but unused vacation.
Mr. Gruwell is eligible to receive awards of incentive compensation under the Bank’s Incentive Plan established for 2012 and subsequent years (as amended January 29, 2015, "Incentive Plan"). Awards under the Incentive Plan are expected to include annual awards for 2014 and 2015 (pro-rated) with potential payments in early 2015 and early 2016, respectively. In addition, Incentive Plan awards are expected to include deferred awards, which are subject to the Bank’s achievement of additional specified performance goals, with potential payments for periods ending December 31 of the years 2016 through 2018. The deferred award for 2015 will be pro-rated.
Mr. Gruwell is also entitled to receive benefits provided by the Bank’s Defined Benefit Pension Plan ("DB Plan") and the Bank’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan established and effective January 1, 2005 (as amended and restated effective January 1, 2008, "2005 SERP"). The DB Plan and 2005 SERP provide benefits based on a combination of a participant’s length of service, age and annual compensation.
Mr. Gruwell also participates in the Bank’s Defined Contribution Plan ("DC Plan"), a retirement savings plan qualified under the Internal Revenue Code (Section 401(k)). Under the DC Plan, the Bank matches participant contributions up to specified limits.
The Bank did not enter into any new compensation plan, contract or arrangement with Mr. Gruwell in connection with his retirement. The foregoing summaries of the Incentive Plan, DB Plan, 2005 SERP and DC Plan are qualified in their entirety by reference to the plans as described in and filed with the Bank’s Form 10-K.
