(d) Election of Directors.

On August 30, 2016, the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("Bank") announced that Mr. Jay M. Ford, President and CEO, Crest Savings Bank, Wildwood, NJ, was deemed elected by the Bank to serve as a Member Director representing New Jersey members on the Board of Directors ("Board") of the Bank commencing on January 1, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2020.

Mr. Ford currently serves on the Board; his current term expires on December 31, 2016. He presently serves as Chair of the Board’s Audit Committee, as Vice Chair of the Board’s Strategic Planning Committee, and also serves on the Board’s Executive Committee. At the time of this filing, neither Mr. Ford nor any other person has been named to serve on any committee of the Board for 2017; further, whether Mr. Ford or any other person is expected to be named to serve on any committee of the Board for 2017 has not yet been determined.

Compensation of Mr. Ford and other Bank directors in 2017 is expected to be in accordance with a 2017 Director Compensation Plan ("Compensation Plan") which will be voted on by the Board at a later time. Details regarding the Compensation Plan will be disclosed after the Compensation Plan is adopted in an appropriate filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition to the foregoing announcement, the Bank also reminded its members that ballots in connection with the election for two open Member Director seats for New York, and two open Districtwide Independent Director seats, all of which have terms commencing on January 1, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2020, will be distributed to eligible Bank members in early October, 2016. The Bank also noted that the Member Director seat representing Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands will not be up for election this year.

The Bank’s 2016 Director election is taking place in accordance with the rules governing the election of Federal Home Loan Bank directors contained in the Federal Home Loan Bank Act and in the related regulations of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the regulator of the Federal Home Loan Banks.
