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

On July 1, 2020, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (the “Bank”) provided a notice of termination of employment without cause to Daniel D. Clute, the Bank’s current Executive Vice President and Chief Business Officer (“CBO”), and Sunil U. Mohandas, the Bank’s current Chief Risk and Compliance Officer (“CRCO”). The effective date of separation from the Bank for Messrs. Clute and Mohandas is August 31, 2020. Messrs. Clute and Mohandas are expected to receive the applicable severance benefits provided in their employment agreements with the Bank, effective November 10, 2014 and January 1, 2018, respectively, as previously disclosed in the Bank’s current reports on Form 8-K, filed November 12, 2014 and January 19, 2018, respectively, which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the departure of Mr. Clute, effective August 3, 2020, the Bank has appointed Mr. William W. Osborn, age 55, as its Chief Business Officer.

Mr. Osborn’s prior experience also includes positions of Investment Portfolio Manager at ASBC Investment Corp., and Portfolio Manager at ALM First Financial Advisors. In his role as the Bank’s CBO, Mr. Osborn will oversee business activities and departments involving member relations, funding and mortgage products, marketing communications, and the Bank’s Affordable Housing Program.

As the Bank’s CBO, Mr. Osborn will be paid an annual base salary of $425,000 and will be eligible to earn incentive awards under the Bank’s executive incentive plan. Mr. Osborn’s maximum potential incentive award will be 80 percent of his base salary. In addition, the Bank will pay Mr. Osborn a hiring bonus of $50,000, payable on his first payroll date, and an additional $50,000 on the first payroll date following completion of his first year employed with the Bank. Further, he will be eligible to receive the Bank’s standard executive relocation benefits up to a maximum of $250,000.

In connection with the departure of Mr. Mohandas, effective July 8, 2020, the Bank has appointed Mr. George H. Collins, age 60, as its Chief Risk and Compliance Officer. Mr. Collins served as Executive Vice President and Chief Risk Officer at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (“FHLB Boston”) from 2015 to his retirement at the end of 2019. Mr. Collins also served as the FHLB Boston’s Chief Compliance Officer. Mr. Collins previously served as Senior Vice President and Chief Risk Officer of FHLB Boston since November 2006, and as Director of Market Risk Management from 2005 to 2006. Mr. Collins joined the FHLB Boston in July 2000 as Vice President and Assistant Treasurer. Prior to Joining the FHLB Boston, Mr. Collins served as Vice President, Strategic Planning and Marketing at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh from 1997 to 2000, and as Treasurer/Vice President, Financial Analysis at First Federal Savings & Loan Association in Rochester, NY from 1984 to 1997. In his role as the Bank’s CRCO, Mr. Collins will oversee the Bank’s enterprise risk management and compliance departments.

As the Bank’s CRCO, Mr. Collins will be paid an annual base salary of $400,000 and will be eligible to earn incentive awards under the Bank’s executive incentive plan. Mr. Collins’ maximum potential incentive award will be 80 percent of his base salary. In addition, the Bank will pay Mr. Collins a hiring bonus of $50,000, payable on his first payroll date, and an additional $50,000 on the first payroll date following completion of his first year employed with the Bank. Further, he will be eligible to receive the Bank’s standard executive relocation benefits up to a maximum of $250,000.

Neither Mr. Osborn nor Mr. Collins has any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
