Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On October 28, 2016, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (the Bank) reported via Form 8-K (the Original 8-K) that member director Michael R. Tuttle had notified the Bank on October 24, 2016, that upon the successful completion of the then pending acquisition (the Merchants Acquisition) by Community Bank System, Inc. of Merchants Bancshares, parent company of Merchants Bank, a Vermont member of the Bank, Merchants Bank would cease to exist as a separately chartered institution. The Bank reported in the Original 8-K that it expected that, following the Merchants Acquisition, Mr. Tuttle would no longer be a director of a Vermont member of the Bank, and that as a result, Mr. Tuttle would cease to meet the eligibility requirements to serve as a member director representing the State of Vermont, causing the directorship held by him to become immediately vacant.
Mr. Tuttle has notified the Bank that, effective as of the closing of the Merchants Acquisition, which took place on May 12, 2017, he became a voting director of Opportunities Credit Union, a Vermont credit union member of the Bank. (Mr. Tuttle served as an ex-officio director, functioning solely as a nonvoting observer, of Opportunities Credit Union between December 20, 2016 and May 12, 2017.) Since Mr. Tuttle continues to serve as a director of a Vermont member of the Bank, he continues to meet the eligibility requirements to serve as, and remains, a member director of the Bank, notwithstanding the completion of the Merchants Acquisition on May 12, 2017.
Signature(s)
