Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Changes in Fiscal Year.
On January 23, 2019, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (the “Bank”) approved and adopted certain amendments to the Bank’s bylaws, which became effective on that same date.
The Board adopted these amendments to the Bank’s bylaws to remove that section of the bylaws which requires the Bank to annually adopt a resolution designating emergency vice presidents to automatically assume the duties of the Bank’s President in the event of an emergency. Instead, the Bank will rely on bylaw provisions that allow for an emergency meeting of the Board of Directors to elect an interim President in an event of an emergency.
The foregoing description of the substantive changes to the Bank’s bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bank’s bylaws, as amended, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
