2016 Incentive Plan

On February 24, 2016, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (the “Bank”) received a non-objection letter from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) concerning the Bank's 2016 Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”). The 2016 Plan had previously been approved by the Bank's Board of Directors (“Board”), subject to receipt of the FHFA's non-objection. The 2016 Plan is effective retroactively to January 1, 2016. Most full-time and part-time employees, including the Bank’s President, Chief Executive Officer, and executive vice presidents (“Named Executive Officers”), are eligible to participate in the 2016 Plan.

Notwithstanding the formulaic method for determining awards under the 2016 Plan, actual payouts under the 2016 Plan are subject to the review and approval of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee (“Compensation Committee”) of the Board, and the review and non-objection of the FHFA. The Compensation Committee may amend the goals and/or related award opportunities at any time in 2016, subject to the review and non-objection of the FHFA. The goals and/or related award opportunities under the 2016 Plan may also be amended based on any recommendations received from the FHFA. The 2016 Plan is summarized below.

Under the 2016 Plan, incentive award opportunities for Bank-wide performance goals (“Bank-wide Goals”) and individual/team performance goals (“Individual Goals”) are based upon established “threshold,” “target” and “maximum” award levels. Eligible employees are assigned an incentive compensation award opportunity expressed as a percentage of the employee's base salary in 2016. The Bank-wide Goals are based on certain measures of success as set forth in the Bank’s 2016-2018 Strategic Business Plan, and are as follows:

Mission/Members (30% total weight) with two measures: Core Product Utilization ratio (15% weight) and Advance Penetration ratio (15% weight).

Risk (30% total weight) with two measures: Operational Risk Management (20% weight) and Financial Risk Management (10% weight).

Profitability (25% total weight) measured by the Spread between Adjusted Return on Capital Stock and Average 3-month LIBOR.

Capital (15% total weight) measured by Market Value of Capital Stock (MVCS).


Individual Goals under the 2016 Plan are generally tied to action plans as set forth in the Bank's Strategic Business Plan, as well as to individual responsibilities of Bank employees.

For the Bank's Named Executive Officers, the overall incentive award opportunity under the 2016 Plan is weighted 100% on overall Bank-wide Goals. With respect to the Bank's Chief Executive Officer and President, the 2016 Plan incentive award opportunity is between 50% (threshold) and 100% (maximum) of base salary, with a target of 85%. For the Bank's executive vice presidents, the 2016 Plan incentive award opportunity is between 40% (threshold) and 80% (maximum) of base salary, with a target of 60%.






For the Bank's Named Executive Officers and certain other officers, the 2016 Plan requires a percentage of the incentive award to be deferred for three years following the end of the performance plan period (to be paid out in 2020). For the Named Executive Officers, 50% of those incentive awards will be deferred. However, the payout opportunity for deferred payouts will be subject to an economic value of capital stock (EVCS) modifier, as follows:

If the average quarterly EVCS for 2019 is less than $90 per share, there will be no deferred award payout.

If the average quarterly EVCS for 2019 is $90 per share, the deferred award payout will be equal to 90% of the potential award.

For every dollar that the average quarterly EVCS for 2019 exceeds $90 per share, one percentage point will be added to the multiplier of 90% up to a maximum multiplier of 110%.

The above description of the 2016 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2016 Plan, which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
