Item 3.03 Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.





Item 8.01 Other Events.

On January 8, 2018 the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY" or "Bank") informed its membership of certain amendments to the FHLBNY’s Capital Plan ("Plan"). The Plan defines the rights of the holders of the FHLBNY’s Class B Capital Stock. The amended Plan will become effective on February 9, 2018.

In summary, the Plan is being adjusted to:

• Include a provision in Section 4.1 of the Plan, "Membership Stock Purchase Requirement", to permit, but not require, the imposition of a "cap" on the Membership Capital Stock purchase requirement within a range between $25 million and $100 million. If the Board of Directors were to implement a cap, FHLBNY members will be informed at least thirty days prior to the effective date.

• Incorporate "clean-up" provisions in Section 7.2.3 and 7.2.5 of the Plan, "Disposition of Claims", to permit the FHLBNY to repurchase Membership Capital Stock from former members who are no longer eligible to maintain their FHLBNY membership for any of a variety of reasons, e.g., charter dissolution, loss of deposit insurance, relocation outside the District, etc., at the time when the FHLBNY conducts its recalculation.

• Revise Section 2.2.3 of the Plan, "Repurchase of Excess Stock by the FHLBNY", to more clearly outline the FHLBNY's practice of notifying members regarding repurchases of Activity-Based Stock. The revision clarifies that: "the FHLBNY will notify members of changes to the repurchase methodology, undertaken on its own initiative, no less than fifteen business days prior to such repurchase." The FHLBNY's current practice of repurchasing excess Activity-Based Stock on a daily basis is unaffected and will continue.

The foregoing description of the amendments to the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy of the amended Plan included herein as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
