Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On July 14, 2015, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (FHLBank) appointed William W. Osborn, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as FHLBank’s Principal Financial Officer (PFO) under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), effective on that same date. Denise L. Cauthon, Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, who served as FHLBank’s PFO until July 14, 2015, will continue to serve as FHLBank’s Principal Accounting Officer. Ms. Cauthon will report to Mr. Osborn.
Mr. Osborn has served as Senior Vice President and CFO since June 2010. Mr. Osborn joined FHLBank in May 2006 as Director of Product, Profitability and Pricing. He was promoted to Director of Banking Strategies in January 2008, to First Vice President in April 2008, and to Senior Vice President in April 2009.
FHLBank has not engaged in any transactions with Mr. Osborn or any members of his immediate family that require disclosure under applicable rules and regulations. There are no family relationships between Mr. Osborn and any of FHLBank’s directors or executive officers, and there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Osborn and any other person pursuant to which he was or is selected as an officer of FHLBank.
Mr. Osborn’s annual base salary is $284,000, effective as of July 1, 2015. As part of Mr. Osborn’s appointment as PFO, FHLBank amended the 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (EICP) Targets documents to replace Ms. Cauthon with Mr. Osborn. The Board of Directors (Board) of FHLBank approved the revised EICP Targets replacing Ms. Cauthon with Mr. Osborn on June 19, 2015, subject to non-objection from the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which was received July 14, 2015. The incentive compensation opportunities made available to Mr. Osborn pursuant to the EICP are identical to those previously made available to Mr. Osborn pursuant to a similar plan for certain other officers of FHLBank who are not Named Executive Officers. Copies of the revised EICP Targets Documents are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.4 and are incorporated herein by reference. A description of the EICP and other compensation and benefits provided or made available to FHLBank’s Named Executive Officers, including Mr. Osborn, may be found in Item 11 - Executive Compensation of FHLBank’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 13, 2015.
