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

On February 15, 2017, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (Finance Agency) informed the Bank of its non-objection to amendments approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors to the Bank’s 2015 and 2016 Executive Performance Unit Plans (EPUPs). See Part III, Item 11 of the Bank’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information about the 2015 and 2016 EPUPs.

As previously disclosed, on January 31, 2017, the Finance Agency informed the Bank of its non-objection to the Board approved 2017 Executive Incentive Plan (2017 EIP), an omnibus incentive plan structure containing both short-term (annual) and long-term (3-year deferral) components for the Bank’s senior officers. The 2017 EIP includes award payout provisions related to certain termination of employment events which were not the same as the related provisions in the Bank’s 2015 and 2016 EPUPs. To conform the award payment provisions in the 2015 and 2016 EPUPs to those in the 2017 EIP as they relate to certain termination of employment events, the 2015 and 2016 EPUPs were amended to allow a pro rata portion of any award to be paid if a participant incurs a termination of employment due to certain events.

Specifically, the 2015 and 2016 EPUPs were amended to provide that if a participant incurs a termination of employment during the relevant performance period due to: (a) "Retirement;" (b) a termination by participant for “Good Reason;” (c) a termination by the Bank without “Cause" due to the elimination of an individual job or position; (d) the elimination of one or more jobs or positions as a result of a reduction in force or department reorganization; or (e) a substantial job modification resulting in the incumbent being, in the judgment of the Bank, unqualified for or unable to perform the revised job, then a pro rata portion of a plan award may be paid after the end of the relevant performance period for the portion of the performance period during which the participant was employed, to the extent determined by the Board that the applicable performance metrics are satisfied. The amendments also provide that if a participant incurs a termination of employment during a performance period due to death or disability, a plan award will be paid, following the termination of employment, for the portion of the relevant performance period during which the participant was employed based on the assumption the Bank would have achieved the “Meets” achievement level for the relevant performance period.  The amendment further provides that if a “Change in Control” of the Bank occurs prior to the payment date of a plan award, then a final award will be paid on a pro-rated basis based on the assumption the Bank would have achieved the performance metrics at the “Meets” achievement level for the relevant performance period. The terms “Retirement,” “Good Reason,” “Meets” and “Change in Control” shall have the meanings set forth in the 2017 EIP.

The description of the amendments is qualified in entirety by reference to the 2015 and 2016 EPUPs plan documents included with this filing.
