Note 1 – Background and Basis of Presentation

The FHLBs are ~~government-sponsored~~government sponsored enterprises (GSE) of the United States of America and were organized under the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (FHLB Act), in order to improve the availability of funds to support home ownership. We are supervised and regulated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), an independent federal agency in the executive branch of the United States (U.S.) government.

Each FHLB is a member-owned cooperative with members from a specifically defined geographic district. Our defined geographic district is Illinois and Wisconsin. All federally-insured depository institutions, insurance companies engaged in residential housing finance, credit unions and community development financial institutions located in our district are eligible to apply for membership with us. All our members are required to purchase our capital stock as a condition of membership. Our capital stock is not publicly traded, and is issued, repurchased or redeemed at par value, $100 per share, subject to certain statutory and regulatory limits. As a cooperative, we do business with our members, and former members (under limited circumstances). Specifically, we provide credit principally in the form of secured loans called advances. We also provide liquidity for home mortgage loans to members approved as Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs) through the Mortgage Partnership Finance® (MPF®) Program.

Our accounting and financial reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). Amounts in prior periods may be reclassified to conform to the current presentation and, if material, are ~~detailed~~disclosed in the following notes.

Note 3 – Recently Issued but Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards

~~There were no recently~~During March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ~~but not yet~~ASU 2022-01 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method. This ASU broadens the availability of fair value hedging to non-prepayable and prepayable portfolios. The guidance on hedging multiple layers in a closed portfolio is applied prospectively. The guidance on the accounting for fair value basis adjustments is applied on a modified retrospective basis. Further, an entity may reclassify debt securities from held-to-maturity to available for sale if it includes them in a closed portfolio that is hedged under the portfolio layer method. This ASU is effective for the Bank starting January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Bank is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU.

Also during March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures to eliminate the recognition and measurement guidance for troubled debt restructurings for creditors that have adopted ~~accounting standards which may have a material effect on our~~CECL. The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures about loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial ~~statements.~~difficulty and requires the presentation of gross write-offs by year of origination. This ASU is effective starting January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Bank is evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU.

Note 5 – Investment Debt Securities

We classify debt securities as either trading, ~~HTM,~~held-to-maturity (HTM), or ~~AFS.~~available-for-sale (AFS). Our security disclosures within these classifications are disaggregated by major security types as shown below. Our major security types are based on the nature and risks of the security:

•Government guaranteed ~~residential MBS.~~

•~~SOFR Structured Adjustable Rate Mortgage (SOFR SARM)~~ MBS.

•State or local housing agency obligations.

We have no allowance for credit losses on our investment debt securities and we have elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost in the following AFS and HTM tables. Prior to 2022, we included accrued interest in the carrying value of our AFS securities. See Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses for further details on these amounts.

Credit Loss Analysis

We recognized no credit losses on HTM or AFS debt securities for the periods presented. ~~We do not intend to sell AFS securities (although in October 2020 the Bank sold private label mortgage backed securities (PLMBS), as discussed in~~ ~~Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies~~ of our 2020 Form 10-K) and we believe it is more likely than not, that we will not be required to sell them prior to recovering their amortized cost. We expect to recover the entire amortized cost on these securities.

~~Accretion on Prior Years' Other-Than-Temporary Impairment~~

Increases in cash flows expected to be collected and recognized into interest income on prior years' credit related other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) charges on our AFS and HTM PLMBS were $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. As discussed in ~~Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies~~ ~~of our 2020 Form 10-K, we sold these PLMBS during October 2020.~~

Note 7 – MPF Loans Held in Portfolio

We acquire MPF Loans from PFIs to hold in our portfolio and historically purchased participations in pools of eligible mortgage loans from other FHLBs (MPF Banks). MPF Loans that are held in portfolio are fixed-rate conventional and Government Loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties with maturities ranging from 5 years to 30 years or participations in pools of similar eligible mortgage loans from other MPF Banks.

The following table presents information on MPF Loans held in portfolio by contractual maturity at the time of purchase. We have an allowance for credit losses on our MPF Loans and we have elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost in the following tables. See Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses for further details on these amounts.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Forbearance

Section 4013 of the ~~CARES~~Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ~~provides~~(the “CARES Act”) provided temporary relief from the accounting and reporting requirements for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) for certain loan modifications related to COVID-19. Specifically, the CARES Act ~~provides~~provided that a qualifying financial institution may elect to suspend (1) the requirements under U.S. GAAP for certain loan modifications that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR, and (2) any determination that such loan modifications would be considered a TDR, including the related impairment for accounting purposes. Section 4013 of the CARES Act ~~applies~~applied to any modification related to an economic hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including a forbearance arrangement, an interest rate modification, a repayment plan, or any similar arrangement that defers or delays payment of principal or interest, that ~~occurs~~occurred during the period beginning on March 1, 2020 and ending on the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 days after the declaration of the national emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic ends for a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, was signed into law, ~~extending~~which extended the applicable end period to the earlier of January 1, 2022, or 60 days following the termination of the national emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We ~~have~~ elected to suspend TDR accounting for eligible modifications under Section 4013 of the CARES Act. We resumed TDR accounting when this section of the CARES Act ~~such modifications to loans outstanding as of June 30, 2021 were $15 million.~~expired on January 1, 2022.

Our servicers may grant a forbearance period to borrowers who have requested forbearance based on COVID-19 related difficulties regardless of the status of the loan at the time of the request. We continue to apply our accounting policy for past due loans and charge-offs to loans during the forbearance period whether it be formal or informal. A charge-off is not recognized when there is a presumption that we will collect on a loan even if it is 180 days past due. The accrual status for loans under forbearance will be driven by the past due status of the loan as the legal terms of the contractual arrangement have not been modified.

As of June 30, 2021, there were $226 million in unpaid principal balance (UPB) of conventional loans in a forbearance plan as a result of COVID-19. Of these conventional loans in forbearance, $115 million in UPB had a current payment status, $9 million were 30 to 59 days past due, $8 million were 60 to 89 days past due, and $94 million were greater than 90 days past due and in nonaccrual payment status. These loans represent 2% of our MPF Loans held in portfolio at June 30, 2021.

Note 9 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K for our accounting policies for derivatives.

We transact most of our derivatives with large banks and major broker-dealers. Some of these banks and broker-dealers or their affiliates buy, sell, and distribute consolidated obligations. We are not a derivatives dealer and do not trade derivatives for speculative purposes. We enter into derivative transactions through either of the following:

•A bilateral agreement with an individual counterparty for over-the-counter derivative transactions.

•Clearinghouses classified as Derivatives Clearing Organizations (DCOs) through Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs), which are clearing members of the DCOs, for cleared derivative transactions.

Managing Interest Rate Risk

We use fair value hedges to manage our exposure to changes in the fair value of (1) a recognized asset or liability or (2) an unrecognized firm commitment, attributable to changes in a benchmark interest rate, such as ~~LIBOR.~~SOFR. Our cash flow hedge strategy is to hedge the variability in the total proceeds received from rolling forecasted zero-coupon discount note issuance, attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate, by entering into pay-fixed interest rate swaps. We are not using the cash flow hedge strategy for new transactions at this time, as we used LIBOR as the benchmark interest rate for cash flow hedges and we are not entering into new LIBOR-linked transactions.

We may elect the fair value option for financial instruments, such as advances, MPF Loans held for sale, and consolidated obligation discount notes and bonds, in cases where hedge accounting treatment may not be achieved due to the inability to meet the hedge effectiveness testing criteria, or in certain cases where we wish to mitigate the risk associated with selecting the fair value option for other instruments. We may also use economic hedges when hedge accounting is not permitted or hedge effectiveness is not achievable.

Managing Credit Risk on Derivative Agreements

Over-the-counter (bilateral) Derivative Transactions: We are subject to credit risk due to the risk of nonperformance by counterparties to our derivative agreements. For bilateral derivative agreements, the degree of counterparty risk depends on the extent to which master netting arrangements, collateral requirements and other credit enhancements are included in such contracts to mitigate the risk. We manage counterparty credit risk through credit analysis, collateral requirements and adherence to the requirements set forth in our policies and FHFA regulations. We require collateral agreements on all over-the-counter derivatives. Additionally, collateral related to over-the-counter derivatives with member institutions includes collateral assigned to us, as evidenced by a written security agreement, and which may be held by the member institution for our benefit. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, based on credit analyses and collateral requirements, we have not recorded a credit loss on our over-the-counter derivative agreements. See Note 15 - Fair Value in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K for discussion regarding our fair value methodology for over-the-counter derivative assets and liabilities, including an evaluation of the potential for the fair value of these instruments to be affected by counterparty credit risk.

For nearly all of our bilateral derivative transactions executed prior to March 1, 2017, and for all transactions entered into on or after March 1, 2017, our bilateral derivative agreements are fully collateralized with a zero unsecured threshold in accordance with variation margin requirements issued by the U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). We pledged no investment securities on our bilateral derivative transactions ~~that~~(that can be sold or repledged by our ~~counterparty~~counterparty) as of ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

For certain transactions executed prior to March 1, 2017, we may be required to post net additional collateral with our counterparties if there is deterioration in our credit rating. If our credit rating had been lowered from its current rating to the next lower rating by a major credit rating agency, such as Standard and Poor's or Moody’s, the amount of collateral we would have been required to deliver would have been immaterial at ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

Cleared Derivative Transactions: Cleared derivative transactions are subject to variation and initial margin requirements established by the DCO and its clearing members. ~~As a result of rule changes adopted by our DCOs, variation~~Variation margin payments are characterized as settlement of a derivative’s mark-to-market exposure and not as collateral against the derivative’s mark-to-market exposure. See Note 1 - Background and Basis of Presentation and Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the financial statements in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K for further discussion. We post our initial margin collateral payments and make variation margin settlement payments

through our FCMs, on behalf of the DCO, which could expose us to institutional credit risk in the event that the FCMs or the DCO fail to meet their obligations. Clearing derivatives through a DCO mitigates

counterparty credit risk exposure because the DCO is substituted for individual counterparties and variation margin settlement payments are made daily through the FCMs for changes in the value of cleared derivatives. The DCO determines initial margin requirements for cleared derivatives. We pledged ~~$582~~$623 million of investment securities ~~that~~(that can be sold or ~~repledged,~~repledged) as part of our initial margin related to cleared derivative transactions at ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. Additionally, an FCM may require additional initial margin to be posted based on credit considerations, including but not limited to, if our credit rating downgrades. We had no requirement to post additional initial margin by our FCMs at ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

The following table presents details on the notional amounts, and cleared and bilateral derivative assets and liabilities on our Condensed Statements of Condition. The netting adjustment amount includes cash collateral (either received or paid by us) and related accrued interest in cases where we have a legal right, by contract (e.g., master netting agreement) or otherwise, to offset cash flow obligations between us and our counterparty into a single net payable or receivable.

Fair Value Hedges

The following table presents our fair value hedging results by the type of hedged item. We had no net gain or loss on hedged firm commitments that no longer qualified as a fair value hedge. Changes in fair value of the derivative and the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk for designated fair value hedges are recorded in net interest income in the same line as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Gains (losses) on derivatives include unrealized changes in fair value, as well as net interest settlements.

Cash Flow Hedges

For cash flow hedges the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded in AOCI and reclassified into earnings (net interest income) as the hedged item affects earnings. Hedge effectiveness testing is performed to determine whether hedge accounting is qualified.

We are exposed to the variability in the total net proceeds received from forecasted zero-coupon discount note issuances, which is attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. As a result, we enter into cash flow hedge relationships utilizing derivative agreements to hedge the total net proceeds received from our "rolling" forecasted zero-coupon discount note issuances attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. The maximum length of time over which we are hedging this exposure is 98 years. We reclassify amounts in AOCI into our Condensed Statements of Income in the same periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects our earnings. We had no discontinued cash flow hedges for the periods presented. The deferred net gains (losses) on derivative instruments in AOCI that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months were immaterial as of ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. We are not using the cash flow hedge strategy for new transactions at this time, as we used LIBOR as the benchmark interest rate for cash flow hedges and we are not entering into new LIBOR-linked transactions.

The following table presents our cash flow hedging results by type of hedged item. Additionally, the table indicates where cash flow hedging results are classified in our Condensed Statements of Income. In this regard, the Amount Reclassified from AOCI into Net Interest Income column below includes the following:

•The amortization of closed cash flow hedging adjustments, which are reclassified from AOCI into the interest income/expense line item of the respective hedged item type.

•The effect of net interest settlements attributable to open derivative hedging instruments, which are initially recorded in AOCI and are reclassified to the interest income/expense line item of the respective hedged item type.

Note 10 – Consolidated Obligations

The FHLBs issue consolidated obligations through the Office of Finance as their agent. Consolidated obligations consist of discount notes and consolidated obligation bonds. Consolidated discount notes are issued to raise short-term funds, are issued at less than their face amount and redeemed at par value when they mature. The maturity of consolidated obligation bonds may range from less than one year to over 20 years, but they are not subject to any statutory or regulatory limits on maturity.

The following table presents our consolidated obligation discount notes for which we are the primary obligor. All are due in one year or less.

Note 11 – Capital and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock (MRCS)

Under our Capital Plan our stock consists of two sub-classes of stock, Class B1 activity stock and Class B2 membership stock (together, Class B stock), both with a par value of $100 and redeemable on five years' written notice, subject to certain conditions. Under the Capital Plan, each member is required to own capital stock in an amount equal to the greater of a membership stock requirement or an activity stock requirement. All stock that supports a member’s activity stock requirement with the Bank is classified as Class B1 activity stock. Any additional amount of stock necessary for the total amount of Class B stock held to equal a member’s minimum investment amount will be classified as Class B2 membership stock. Members purchase Class B2 membership stock to satisfy their membership stock requirement with the Bank. Stock held in excess of a member’s minimum investment requirement is classified as Class B2 excess capital stock. See Note 12 – Capital and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock (MRCS) to the financial statements in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K for further information on our capital stock and MRCS.

Minimum Capital Requirements

For details on our minimum capital requirements, including how the ratios below were calculated, see Minimum Capital Requirements in Note 12 – Capital and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock (MRCS) to the financial statements in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K. We complied with our minimum regulatory capital requirements as shown below.

Total regulatory capital and leverage capital includes mandatorily redeemable capital stock (MRCS) but does not include AOCI. Under the FHFA regulation on capital classifications and critical capital levels for the FHLBs, we are adequately capitalized.

Additionally, an FHFA Advisory Bulletin sets forth guidance for each FHLB to maintain a ratio of at least two percent of capital stock to total assets. In accordance with this guidance, the FHFA considers the proportion of capital stock to assets, measured on a daily average basis at month end, when assessing each FHLB’s capital management practices.

The following members (including any successor) had regulatory capital stock exceeding 10% of our total regulatory capital stock outstanding (which includes MRCS):.

Dividends

Our ability to pay dividends is subject to the FHLB Act and FHFA regulations. On ~~July~~April 28, ~~2021~~2022 our Board of Directors declared a ~~5.00%~~5.125% dividend (annualized) for Class B1 activity stock and a ~~2.00%~~2.125% dividend (annualized) for Class B2 membership stock based on our preliminary financial results for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2021.~~2022. This dividend totaled ~~$25~~$27 million (recorded as ~~$22~~$24 million dividends on capital stock and $3 million interest expense on mandatorily redeemable capital stock) and is scheduled for payment on ~~August~~May 12, ~~2021.~~2022. Any future dividend payment remains subject to declaration by the Board and will depend on future operating results, our Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy and any other factors the Board determines to be relevant.

Repurchase of Excess Capital Stock

Members may request repurchase of excess ~~capital~~ stock on any business day. Additionally, ~~starting on March 15, 2021, and continuing~~ on a monthly basis, the Bank repurchases excess capital stock held by each member or former member that exceeds certain limits set by the Bank. All repurchases of excess capital stock, including any future monthly repurchases, will continue until otherwise announced, but remain subject to our regulatory requirements, certain financial and capital thresholds, and prudent business practices.

~~FICO Dissolution~~

The Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987 was enacted in August 1987, which, among other things, provided for the recapitalization of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation through a newly-chartered entity, the Financing Corporation (FICO). The capitalization of FICO was provided by capital distributions from the FHLBs to FICO in exchange for FICO nonvoting capital stock. Capital distributions were made by the FHLBs in 1987, 1988 and 1989 that aggregated to $680 million. Upon passage of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, the FHLBs’ previous investment in capital stock of FICO was determined to be non-redeemable and the FHLBs charged-off their prior capital distributions to FICO directly against retained earnings.

In connection with the dissolution of FICO in July 2020, FICO determined that excess funds aggregating to $200 million were available for distribution to its stockholders, the FHLBs and FICO distributed these funds to the FHLBs in June 2020. Specifically, our partial recovery of prior capital distribution was $19 million, which was determined based on our share of the $680 million originally contributed to FICO. We treated the receipt of these funds as a return of our investment in FICO capital stock, and therefore as a partial recovery of the prior capital distributions we made to FICO in 1987, 1988, and 1989. These funds have been credited to unrestricted retained earnings in our ~~Statements of Capital~~ ~~and in Other Financing Activities in our~~ ~~Condensed Statements of Cash Flows~~.

Note 13 - Fair Value

The following table is a summary of the fair value estimates and related levels in the hierarchy. The carrying amounts are per the Condensed Statements of Condition. Fair value estimates represent the exit prices that we would receive to sell assets or pay to transfer liabilities in an orderly transaction with market participants at the measurement date. They do not represent an estimate of our overall market value as a going concern, as they do not take into account future business opportunities or profitability of assets and liabilities. We measure instrument-specific credit risk attributable to our consolidated obligations based on our nonperformance risk, which includes the credit risk associated with the joint and several liability of other FHLBs ~~see~~(see Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies in our ~~2020~~2021 Form ~~10-K.~~10-K). As a result, we did not recognize any instrument-specific credit risk attributable to our consolidated obligations that are carried at fair value. See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K for our fair value policies and Note 15 - Fair Value in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K for our valuation techniques and significant inputs.

Fair Value Option

We may elect the fair value option for financial instruments, such as advances, MPF Loans held for sale, and consolidated obligation discount notes and bonds, in cases where hedge accounting treatment may not be achieved due to the inability to meet the hedge effectiveness testing criteria, or in certain cases where we wish to mitigate the risk associated with selecting the fair value option for other instruments. Financial instruments for which we elected the fair value option along with their related fair value are shown on our Condensed Statements of Condition. Refer to our Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the financial statements in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K for further details.

The following table presents the ~~changes~~gains (losses) in fair values of financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value under the fair value ~~option. These changes were~~option, which are recognized in noninterest income - instruments held under the fair value option in our Condensed Statements of Income.,

•Total liquid assets increased to $17.1 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $13.2 billion at December 31, 2021, as we maintained a sufficient pool of liquidity to support anticipated member demand for advances and letters of credit.

•We recorded net income of ~~$78~~$95 million in the ~~second~~first quarter of 2022, up $63 million compared to the first quarter of 2021, with the increase driven by prepayment fee income and lower costs of funding, and other factors described below.

~~Evolving Business Landscape~~ Committed to Meeting Member Needs

Last month, we published our 2021 Annual Report, which highlights how we support our members, partners, and their communities throughout Illinois and Wisconsin. As we transitioned to a new year, inflation hit a four-decade high and the ~~business landscape for certain products~~Federal Reserve has given guidance on tightening monetary policy. We remain committed to leveraging our financial strength to support our members, their customers, and ~~services is evolving, we’re adapting~~their communities as market uncertainty persists. We are providing the following new specials and strategies to ~~these changes and leveraging new technologies that we believe will be key to~~serve our ~~members’ successes. As a trusted advisor, we strive to have our forward-thinking teams well-positioned and prepared to guide members through these changes.~~members:

•A new, significantly-below-market rate advance opportunity for all of our member institutions. We have allocated funds for all members and associate members to execute the 2022 COVID-19 Recovery Advance up to $5 million with a one-year term. The program opened on Monday, May 2, 2022, with funds available through Friday, May 27, 2022.

•In April, in response to member demand, we introduced the Callable Floating Rate Advance (A380 Advance) to enhance member business value as we transition to a post-LIBOR world. The A380 Advance is linked to the Secured Overnight Funding Rate (SOFR) and allows members to customize the call features for match funding floating assets, with an embedded option to help members manage fluctuations in liquidity needs. We expect to offer additional SOFR-linked products in the future.

•In keeping our MPF® Program competitive, we announced new low-loan balance pricing payups for MPF ~~Program:~~ Traditional and MPF Xtra products last quarter. These options continue to provide members with access to expanded pricing on low balance loans, which can help attract new customers and improve members’ balance sheets.

•In ~~January 2021,~~March, our 2022 Member Meetings took place in five locations throughout Illinois and Wisconsin.

A Stable Source of Community Support

We remain committed to creating and promoting equitable opportunities for underserved people and communities. In partnership with our members, we are investing in programs and organizations in all parts of Illinois and Wisconsin:

•We recently announced three new grant programs designed to address critical affordable housing and community economic development needs in Illinois and Wisconsin with a three-year, $11.25 million commitment.

◦The Community First® Diverse Developer Initiative supports career and talent development initiatives for diverse developers of affordable housing.

◦The Community FirstHousing Counseling Resource Program will provide grants to housing counseling agencies in Illinois and Wisconsin to facilitate expanded service to minority and low- and moderate-income homebuyers. Two of our housing associates, Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) and Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA), will administer the ~~U.S. Department~~program on our behalf and we expect grant funding will begin in the third quarter of 2022.

◦The Community First Accelerate Grants for Small Business will provide flexible grant funds to strengthen small businesses. This program is a pivot from our previous Community First Capacity-Building Grant Program for nonprofit community lenders.

•We have allocated $20.7 million to our 2022 Affordable Housing Program (AHP) General Fund.

•In March, we announced recipients of our 2022 Community First Awards – recognizing outstanding achievements of our member and their local partners as they work together to strengthen the communities they serve. These dedicated organizations and leaders strengthen our member communities and each of the Treasury and the FHFA amended the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (Amended PSPA), as discussed in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. There are market changes coming outseven award recipients received $10,000 to support a nonprofit of the Amended PSPA impacting market participants including the MPF Program and the MPF Xtra product. In the short term, the level of non-owner occupied loans that can be sold to Fannie Mae has been limited. The Amended PSPA will also limit the total dollar amount of loans that can be sold to Fannie Mae through the cash window starting in 2022. The Bank continues to focus on serving our members and limiting the negative impacts from these potential disruptions. While we work to re-open non-owner occupied loans that can be sold through MPF Xtra, our MPF Traditional products can accept loans on second homes and may be used as an alternative for these loans. As we adjust to these market changes and as we make headway on solutions, we will provide further updates.their choosing.

•Advance Products – LIBOR transition: We have redesigned our advances tied to LIBOR allowing us to re-offer certain advances such as the Putable Floating-to-Fixed Rate advance (A370). We also set parameters to define the resiliency of the fallback language in connection with our members’ LIBOR-based pledged collateral.

•~~Pledging eNotes as eligible collateral: We recently approved the acceptance of first and second lien 1-4 family eNotes as eligible collateral.~~

~~Providing Support for Members’ Communities~~

The COVID-19 pandemic unveiled economic disparities and racial inequities that exist in our communities, and we remain focused on how we can create and promote equitable opportunities across our district in Illinois and Wisconsin through our product offerings. As part of our ongoing commitment to support members through the COVID-19 pandemic, in May 2021, we made available a zero-interest rate advance for all member institutions. Over half of our members took out this COVID-19 relief advance, resulting in $1.7 billion in subsidized, 0% advances. Additionally, our community investment programs continue to support our members by providing funds for: affordable housing; downpayment assistance for members’ customers; and economic development activities.

•~~AHP: Our 2021 Affordable Housing Program (AHP) General Fund close~~d on June 11, 2021. Forty-two members and 50 sponsors jointly submitted 78 applications for approximately $45.2 million in subsidy to support the construction, acquisition, and/or rehabilitation of more than 3,500 housing units. We expect to award approximately $28.6 million this year and will announce the awards in late October 2021.

•~~DPP: Our Downpayment Plus~~® ~~(DPP~~®~~) Programs continue~~ to provide our members easy-to-access down payment and closing cost assistance to help our members’ income-eligible customers achieve homeownership. At the end of the second quarter of 2021, we have awarded $8.5 million in DPP grants to over 1,400 households.

•~~Community First~~® ~~Capacit~~y-Building Grant Program: This year marks the fifth year of our Community First Capacity-Building Grant Program, which provides flexible funding to nonprofit lenders working to advance affordable housing and economic development. To date~~, $1.7 million in grants have been provided. Program applications for this year will be accepted from August 2 – September 3, 2021.~~

~~Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic~~

~~During the second quarter of 2021, we began to transition back to normal business operations, including opening our office to invited guests and employees on a voluntary basis.~~

Notwithstanding increasing COVID-19 vaccination rates and the easing of restrictive measures, uncertainty remains with respect to the speed and extent to which normal economic and operating conditions can resume, and with the ultimate effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For a discussion of risks relating to our financial condition and results of operation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, see Risk Factors starting on page 23 of our Form 10-K for the year ended 2020.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between the amount we recognize into interest income on our interest earning assets and the amount we recognize into interest expense on our interest bearing liabilities. These amounts were determined in accordance with GAAP and were based on the underlying contractual interest rate terms of our interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities as well as the following items:

•Amortization of premiums;

•Accretion of ~~discounts and credit OTTI reversals;~~discounts;

•Hedge ineffectiveness, which represents the difference between changes in fair value of the derivative hedging instrument and the related change in fair value of the hedged item is recognized into either interest income or interest expense, whichever is appropriate. For cash flow hedges, recognition occurs only when amounts are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Such recognition occurs when earnings are affected by the hedged item;

•Net interest paid or received on interest rate swaps that are accounted for as fair value or cash flow hedges;

•Amortization of fair value and cash flow closed hedge adjustments;

•Advance and investment prepayment fees; and

•MPF credit enhancement fees.

The following table presents the increase or decrease in interest income and expense due to volume or rate variances. The calculation of these components includes the following considerations:

•Average Balance: Average balances are calculated using daily balances. Amortized cost is used to compute the average balances for most of our financial instruments, including MPF Loans held in portfolio (including those that are on nonaccrual status) and available-for-sale debt securities. Fair value is used to compute average balances for our trading debt securities and financial instruments carried at fair value under the fair value option.

•Total Interest: Total interest includes the net interest income components, as discussed above, applicable to our interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.

•Yield/Rate: Effective yields/rates are based on total interest and average balances as defined above. Yields/rates are calculated on an annualized basis. The calculation of the yield on our available-for-sale securities does not give effect to changes in fair value that are reflected as a component of ~~accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI).~~AOCI.

•The change in volume is calculated as the change in average balance multiplied by the current year yield. The change in rate is calculated as the change in yield multiplied by the prior year average balance. Any changes due to the combined volume/rate variance have been allocated to volume.

•Interest income from investment debt securities increased due to prepayment fee income of $36 million on our AFS portfolio in the first quarter of 2022 compared to no such income during the same period in 2021. Also, investment hedge ineffectiveness gains increased $36 million from a loss of $33 million in the first quarter of 2021 to a gain of $3 million for the ~~three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased,~~same period in ~~part, due~~2022, attributable to ~~lower overall~~a reduction in the sensitivity of our hedged portfolio to fluctuations in market interest rates. To a lesser extent, rising market interest rates in ~~2021 compared~~the first quarter of 2022 and an increase in volume also contributed to the ~~same period~~increase in 2020. In addition, average investment balances declined as Treasury securities matured and were not replaced. Interest income from investment debt securities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily decreased due to lower overall market interest rates in 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. In addition, the yield earned on our investment securities during 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 declined as a result of the sale of our PLMBS in October 2020. See ~~Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies~~ ~~of our Form 10-K for the year ended 2020 for more information on these PLMBS sales.~~income.

•Interest income from advances ~~decreased primarily~~increased due to ~~the low interest rate environment since the Federal Reserve dramatically lowered interest rates~~an increase in ~~response~~volume, and to the COVID-19 pandemic. Lower demand for advances from our depository members, while mostly offset by increased demand from our insurance company members, have also impacted our net interest income. Additionally,a lesser extent, a slight increase in advance prepayments ~~throughout 2020 resulted~~ in ~~a decline in our portfolio~~the first quarter of ~~higher interest earning advances which reduced the yield earned and balance outstanding on our advance portfolio in 2021~~2022 compared to the same period in ~~2020.~~2021. In addition, rising market interest rates in the first quarter of 2022 also contributed to the increase in interest income.

•Interest income from MPF Loans held in portfolio ~~declined~~slightly increased primarily due to ~~the lower mortgage rate environment impacting the yield earned on new loan originations, along with the recognition of~~a reduction in premium amortization expense in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 as ~~loans prepaid during~~loan prepayments slowed in 2022.

•Interest income from overnight federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and interest earning deposits increased due to higher overall market interest rates in 2022 compared to the ~~period.~~same period in 2021.

•Interest expense on our shorter-termed consolidated ~~obligations~~obligation discount notes decreased as we paid down our discount notes in the fourth quarter of 2021 and increased our use of consolidated obligation bonds due to ~~lower~~advantageous funding opportunities in our longer-termed debt. While overall interest expense on our discount notes decreased, the interest rate paid on our discount notes increased due to rising market interest rates in ~~2021 compared to~~ the ~~same period~~first quarter of 2022.

•Interest expense and the interest rate paid on our longer-termed consolidated obligation bonds decreased despite a significant increase in ~~2020.~~volume as the rise in market interest rates did not affect the cost of our debt until late in the first quarter of 2022. Additionally, ~~in 2021,~~ we replaced our more expensive callable debt with more advantageously priced funding.

Compensation and benefits ~~primarily decreased due~~were comparable to ~~reduced pension and other employee-related costs.~~prior periods. We had ~~451~~476 employees as of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, compared to ~~488~~469 as of ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

Nonpayroll operating expenses were ~~lower compared to prior periods due to a one-time expense in 2020 related to the termination of our building lease. Nonpayroll operating expenses were otherwise~~ comparable to prior periods as we continue our planned investment in information technology, specifically applications, infrastructure and resiliency.

~~As part~~Federal Housing Finance Agency and Office of the Bank's ongoing commitment to provide support to our members throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, from May 3, 2021 to May 28, 2021 we made available a zero interest-rate advance with a maximum borrowing amount up to $5 million for all member institutions. Over halfFinance expenses consist of ~~our members took advantage of this advance offering, resulting in $1.7 billion in subsidized, 0% advances to support our members and approximately $3 million recorded in expenses.

Other, net expenses primarily increased due to increased non-qualified defined benefit plan expenses related to the retirement of our former President and CEO expensed in the first quarter of 2021.

The following analysis and comparisons apply to the periods presented in the above table.

Net unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale debt securities

The net unrealized ~~gain~~loss on our ~~available-for-sale (AFS)~~AFS portfolio for ~~2021~~the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to ~~spreads to swaps reversing the widening (losses) initially experienced~~an increase in ~~the first quarter of 2020 resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial markets.~~overall market interest rates in 2022. As these securities approach maturity, we expect ~~these~~the net unrealized gains in our AOCI as of March 31, 2022 to reverse over the remaining life of these securities (since we expect to receive par value at maturity).

~~Noncredit OTTI on held-to-maturity debt securities~~

We recorded unrealized noncredit impairments on held-to-maturity debt securities during the last financial crisis of 2008. From our sale of HTM PLMBS in October 2020 our remaining loss balance in AOCI went to zero. See ~~Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies~~ ~~of our 2020 Form 10-K for more details on our sale of PLMBS during October 2020.~~

Net unrealized gain (loss) on cash flow hedges

The net unrealized ~~loss~~gain on cash flow hedges for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 was primarily driven by ~~the slight drop~~an increase in ~~long-term~~overall market interest rates ~~during the second quarter of 2021. The net unrealized gain on cash flow hedges for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily driven by the overall increase~~ in ~~long-term interest rates and the interest rate curve steepening during 2021.~~

~~Postretirement plans~~

~~The loss recorded in the first quarter of 2021 was primarily due to an actuarial adjustment resulting from a decline in the discount rate used to calculate postretirement benefits.~~2022.

We did not recognize any instrument-specific credit risk in our Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income as of ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 due to our credit standing.

The following is an analysis of the above table and comparisons apply to ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits, ~~Federal Funds~~federal funds sold, and securities purchased under agreements to resell

Amounts held in these typically overnight accounts will vary each day based on the following:

•Interest rate spreads between ~~Federal Funds~~federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell and our debt;

•Liquidity requirements;

•Counterparties available; and

•Collateral availability on securities purchased under agreements to resell.

In the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, we maintained a sufficient pool of liquidity to support anticipated member demand for advances and letters of credit.

Investment Debt Securities

Investment debt securities decreased ~~primarily due~~at the end of first quarter 2022 compared to ~~Treasury~~year end 2021 attributable to a reduction in investment in Small Business Administration securities that matured and were not replaced, ~~during 2021.~~and a decline in the fair value of our AFS portfolio due to rising market interest rates.

(U.S. Dollars in tables in millions except per share amounts unless otherwise indicated)

Advances

Advance balances slightly declined at the end of ~~second~~first quarter ~~2021~~2022 compared to year end ~~2020.~~2021. We believe many of our depository members ~~experienced an inflow~~continue to experience elevated levels of deposits on their balance sheets ~~along with reduced~~that have not been offset by loan demand, while also having access to other liquidity sources as a result of certain government actions related to the COVID-19 ~~pandemic during 2020.~~pandemic. Although these factors continued to limit our depository members’ current need for advances, increased advance borrowing by insurance company members has ~~mostly~~partially offset the decrease by depository members. Advance balances will vary based primarily on member demand or need for wholesale funding and the underlying cost of the advance to the member. It is possible that member demand for our advances could decline further in future periods should their funding needs change, or to the extent they elect alternative funding resources. In addition, as our advances with our former captive insurance ~~companies~~company members mature, our total advance levels may decrease. For a discussion of risks relating to our former captive insurance ~~companies,~~company members, and of risks relating to our advance levels as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, see Risk Factors starting on page 2322 of our 2021 Form ~~10-K for the year ended 2020.~~10-K. For details on our advances with our former captive insurance company members, see Note 6 - Advances.

MPF Loans Held in Portfolio, Net of Allowance for Credit Losses

MPF Loans held in portfolio slightly decreased as new-acquisition volume was outpaced by paydown and maturity activity. In addition to our MPF Loans held in portfolio, we have MPF off-balance sheet products, where we buy and concurrently resell MPF Loans to Fannie Mae or other third party investors or pool and securitize them into Ginnie Mae MBS.

Liquidity, Funding, & Capital Resources

Liquidity

For the period ending ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we maintained a liquidity position in accordance with FHFA regulations and guidance, and policies established by our Board of Directors. Based upon our excess liquidity position described below, we anticipate remaining in compliance with our current liquidity requirements. See Liquidity, Funding, & Capital Resources on page 54 in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K for a detailed description of our current liquidity requirements. We use different measures of liquidity as follows:

Overnight Liquidity – Our policy requires us to maintain overnight liquid assets at least equal to 3.5% or $3.4 billion of total assets. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, our overnight liquidity was ~~$19.6~~$17.6 billion or ~~20%~~18% of total assets, giving us an excess overnight liquidity of ~~$16.2~~$14.2 billion.

Deposit Coverage – To support our member deposits, FHFA regulations require us to have an amount equal to the current deposits received from our members invested in obligations of the U.S. Government, deposits in eligible banks or trust companies, or advances with maturities not exceeding five years. As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we had excess liquidity of ~~$54.2~~$41.0 billion to support member deposits.

Liquidity Reserves – As discussed on page 54 in the Liquidity, Funding, & Capital Resources section of our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K, FHFA guidance on liquidity (the “Liquidity AB”) requires that we hold positive cash flow assuming no access to the capital markets for a period of between ten to thirty calendar days, and assuming the renewal of all maturing advances. The Liquidity AB also requires the Bank to maintain liquidity reserves between one and 20 percent of our outstanding letter of credit commitments.

~~The~~In an effort to satisfy our current liquidity requirements, we generally maintain increased balances in short-term or liquid investments. Depending on market conditions, the Liquidity AB ~~requires~~may require the Bank to hold an additional amount of liquid assets, which could reduce the Bank’s ability to invest in higher-yielding assets, and may in turn negatively impact net interest income. To the extent that the Bank adjusts pricing for its short-term advances and letters of credit, these products may become less competitive, which may adversely affect advance and capital stock levels as well as letters of credit levels. For additional discussion of how our liquidity requirements may impact our earnings, see Risk Factors section starting on page 2322 of our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K.

In addition, we fund certain shorter-term or overnight investments and advances with debt that has a maturity that extends beyond the maturities of the related investments or advances. The Liquidity AB provides guidance on maintaining appropriate funding gaps for three-month (-10% to -20%) and one-year (-25% to -35%) maturity horizons. Subject to market conditions, our cost of funding may increase if we are required to achieve the appropriate funding gap by using longer term funding, on which we generally pay higher interest than on our short-term funding.

We are sensitive to maintaining an appropriate liquidity and funding balance between our financial assets and liabilities, and we measure and monitor the risk of refunding such assets as liabilities mature (refunding risk). In measuring the level of assets requiring refunding, we take into account their contractual maturities, as further described in the notes to the condensed financial statements. In addition, we make certain assumptions about their expected cash flows. These assumptions include: calls for assets with such features, projected prepayments and scheduled amortizations for our MPF Loans held in portfolio, MBS and ABS investments.

LIBOR Transition

~~In July 2017,~~Following the United Kingdom's (U.K.) Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)~~, a regulator~~’s 2017 announcement of ~~financial services firms and financial markets in the U.K., announced~~ its intention to cease sustaining the LIBOR indices after ~~2021. In response, the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York convened~~2021, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC) ~~to identify a set of alternative reference interest rates for possible use as market benchmarks. The ARRC has~~ identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as its recommended alternative rate. SOFR is based on a broad segment of the overnight Treasuries repurchase market and is intended to be a measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by Treasury securities. The ~~Federal Reserve Bank of New York began publishing SOFR rates in April 2018 and the~~ FHLB System issued its first SOFR-linked debt in the market on November 13, 2018.

On March 5, 2021, the FCA announced ~~that LIBOR will either cease to be provided or no longer be representative immediately after December 31, 2021 for most LIBOR settings across currencies, including~~the cessation of the 1 week and 2 month USD LIBOR oreffective December 31, 2021, and the cessation of the remaining USD LIBOR tenors effective immediately after June 30, ~~2023 in the case of certain frequently used tenors, including the remaining USD tenors.~~2023. The FCA announced that it would consult whether to require LIBOR’s administrator (the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration Limited) to publish certain frequently used USD LIBOR tenors on a non-representative, synthetic basis after ~~such date.~~June 30, 2023. FCA’s announcement ~~constitutes~~constituted an index cessation event under the International Swaps and Derivatives ~~Associations, Inc.~~Association's (ISDA) 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol and IBOR Fallbacks Supplement, and as a result, the fallback spread adjustment for derivatives is fixed as of the date of the announcement. ~~Although we~~We do not have assets ~~and liabilities~~ indexed to the 1 week and 2 month USD LIBOR, ~~which will no longer be provided after December 31, 2021,~~and many of our assets and liabilities are indexed to the remaining USD LIBOR tenors, ~~some with maturities or termination dates extending past December 31, 2021.~~

which will no longer be provided after June 30, 2023.

~~On September 27,~~Additionally, in accordance with a 2019 ~~the~~ FHFA issued a Supervisory Letter (the "Supervisory Letter") that the FHFA stated is designed to ensure the FHLBs will be able to identify and prudently manage the risks associated with the termination of LIBOR in a safe and sound manner. Among other things, the Supervisory Letter provides that the FHLBs should cease entering into certain transactions referencing LIBOR that mature after December 31, 2021. Accordingly,supervisory letter, we ~~previously~~ ceased entering into option embedded advance products that reference LIBOR and ~~have~~ ceased purchasing investments that reference LIBOR and ~~mature~~matured after December 31, 2021. ~~Additionally, we have~~We also suspended transactions in certain structured advances and advances with terms directly linked to LIBOR ~~that mature after December 31, 2021~~ and we no longer enter into consolidated obligation bonds and derivatives with swaps, caps, or floors indexed to ~~LIBOR that terminate after December 31, 2021.~~LIBOR. Further, on July 1, 2021, the FHFA issued an additional supervisory letter setting forth its expectations that the FHLBs should be prudent in their use of non-SOFR based alternative reference rates, and should avoid use of alternative reference rates that are not based on underlying transactions or that introduce further model risk. The letter also ~~provides~~requires that an FHLB provide advance notice to its examiner-in-charge of its plans to use a non-SOFR alternative reference rate. For further discussion of the risks related to the replacement of LIBOR, see the Risk Factors section starting on page 2322 in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K.

~~We continue to evaluate~~In keeping with ARRC's recommendation and ~~plan for~~industry developments, the ~~eventual replacement of the LIBOR benchmark interest rate, including the possibility of~~Bank has selected SOFR as ~~the~~its preferred primary replacement rate for investments and advances. We have developed ~~an initial~~a LIBOR transition action plan and ~~convened a project team to implement the transition, which is led by a senior executive and comprised of representatives from various areas across the Bank. Our~~our Asset-Liability Management Committee (ALCO) is the management committee responsible for overseeing the transition from LIBOR. In assessing our current exposure to LIBOR, we ~~have~~ developed an inventory of financial instruments impacted and identified contracts that ~~may~~would require adding or adjusting the "fallback" language which provides for contractual alternatives to the use of LIBOR when LIBOR cannot be determined based on the method provided in the agreement. We have amended the terms of certain advance products to include fallback ~~language~~language. On March 15, 2022, the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (“LIBOR Act”) was signed into law, with the expectation that the Federal Reserve Board will issue implementing regulations. The LIBOR Act creates a uniform process to incorporate a replacement benchmark rate for LIBOR-indexed contracts that either do not contain a LIBOR fallback provision or contain an insufficient LIBOR fallback provision. As enacted, the Federal Reserve Board will identify a replacement benchmark rate based on SOFR and will include tenor spread adjustments which must be consistent with ISDA's 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol and, for consumer loans, transitioning the ~~OF has added or adjusted fallback language applicable~~spread adjustments to ~~FHLB consolidated obligations.~~a linear basis over a one-year period. For further discussion of the LIBOR Act, see the Legislative and Regulatory Developments section on page 56.

For over-the-counter derivatives, we ~~have~~ adhered to the ISDA 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol. For cleared derivatives, as part of the transition from LIBOR to SOFR, our clearinghouses revised their discounting methodology used to calculate the present value of future cash flows and price alignment on variation margin for USD cleared swaps from the daily ~~Effective Federal Funds Rate~~effective federal funds rate (EFFR) to SOFR. ~~In October 2020, both~~Both of our clearinghouses have implemented their own unique cash and basis swap compensation mechanisms for market participants to neutralize any value transfer discrepancies from the LIBOR to SOFR conversion. Further, each clearinghouse announced ~~respective proposals~~its own proposal for the conversion process of LIBOR-linked cleared derivatives to risk-free rates, which is expected to occur at or shortly before the effective date of LIBOR discontinuation. We continue to monitor the market-wide efforts to address fallback language related to cleared derivatives and investment securities as well as fallback language for new activities and issuances of financial instruments. We continue to assess our operational readiness, including updating our processes and information technology systems to support the transition from LIBOR to ~~an alternative reference rate.~~SOFR.

Market activity in SOFR-indexed financial instruments continues to increase, including the ~~emergence of~~progression to a SOFR-based derivative market, and we continue to participate in the issuance of SOFR-indexed consolidated bonds. We are using ~~Federal Funds Overnight Index Swap~~federal funds overnight index swaps (Fed Funds OIS) ~~swaps~~ and SOFR indexed swaps as an interest rate hedging strategy for financial instruments that do not have embedded options, as an alternative to using LIBOR when entering into new derivative transactions. We are offering SOFR-linked advances to our members, and for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, have issued ~~$73 million~~$4.2 billion in SOFR-linked advances. For a discussion of risks relating to our use of SOFR-linked consolidated obligations and advances, see Risk Factors starting on page 2322 of our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K. We also offer Discount Note-index floater advances, which some members have used as alternatives to LIBOR-linked advance products.

Variable-Rate Financial Instruments by Interest-Rate Index and LIBOR-Indexed Financial Instruments

We have advances, investment securities, consolidated bonds, and derivatives with interest rates indexed to LIBOR. The following tables present our variable rate financial instruments by interest-rate index at ~~June 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and may not include instruments that indirectly incorporate LIBOR or another interest rate index. The tables also do not consider the impact of any fallback language contained in our financial products.

Capital Resources

Capital Rules

WeThe Bank implemented ~~the~~an amended and restated Capital Plan, ~~of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago,~~ effective ~~as of~~ May 3, 2021 (the Capital Plan).

Under ~~the~~our Capital Plan our stock consists of two sub-classes of stock, Class B1 ~~activity~~ stock and Class B2 ~~membership~~ stock (together, Class B stock), both with a par value of $100 per share and redeemable on five years' written notice, subject to certain conditions. ~~Each~~Under the Capital Plan, each member is required to own capital stock in an amount equal to the greater of a membership stock requirement or an activity stock requirement. All stock that supports a member’s activity stock requirement with the Bank is classified as Class B1 activity stock. Any additional amount of stock necessary for the total amount of Class B stock held to equal a member’s minimum investment amount will be classified as Class B2 membership stock. Members purchase Class B2 membership stock to satisfy their membership stock requirement with the Bank. Stock held in excess of a member’s minimum investment requirement is classified as Class B2 excess capital stock. Any dividend declared on Class B1 activity stock must be greater than or equal to the dividend on Class B2 membership stock for the same period. The higher dividend paid on Class B1 activity stock since late 2013 acknowledges that members, through their utilization of Bank products, provide support to the entire cooperative.

Under the Capital Plan, each member’s activity stock requirement is set at 4.5% for advances other than those borrowed under the Reduced Capitalization Advance Program (RCAP) as further discussed below. The Capital Plan provides that the Board of Directors may periodically adjust members' activity stock requirement for advances between a range of 2% and 5% of a member's outstanding advances.

Additionally, for MPF on-balance sheet products (which includes MPF Original, MPF 125, MPF 35, and MPF Government loans), the activity stock requirement is 2% of the principal loan amount sold into new master ~~commitments executed on or after May 3, 2021.~~commitments. Under the Capital Plan, the range within which our Board may adjust this requirement is between 0% and 5%. For letters of credit, the activity stock requirement is 0.10% of the notional amount of all new letters of credit issued, ~~on or after May 3, 2021,~~ and all existing letters of credit renewed, extended or ~~increased on or after May 3, 2021.~~increased. Under the Capital Plan, the range for the letter of credit activity stock requirement is 0.10% to 2%.

~~Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago~~

~~(U.S. Dollars in tables in millions except per share amounts unless otherwise indicated)~~

Under the Capital Plan, each member’s membership stock requirement is the greater of either $10,000 or 0.40% of a member's mortgage assets. The Capital Plan provides that the Board may periodically adjust members’ membership stock requirement between a range of 0.20% to 1% of a member’s mortgage assets. A member’s investment in membership stock is capped at $5 million, subject to adjustment by the Board within a range between $1 million and $25 million.

Membership stock requirements are recalculated annually, whereas the activity stock requirement and any automatic conversion ~~between~~of Class B2 membership stock ~~and~~to Class B1 activity stock related to activity continue to apply on a daily basis.

We may only redeem or repurchase capital stock from a member if, following the redemption or repurchase, the member continues to meet its minimum investment requirement and we remain in compliance with our regulatory capital requirements as discussed in Note 11 - Capital and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock (MRCS) to the condensed financial statements. Members that withdraw from membership must wait at least five years after their membership was terminated and all of their capital stock was redeemed or repurchased before being readmitted to membership in any FHLB.

For details on our capital stock requirements under our capital plan for year-end ~~2019 and 2020,~~2021, see Capital Resources on page 62 of our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K. Under the terms of our Capital Plan, our Board of Directors is authorized to amend the Capital Plan, and the FHFA must approve all such amendments before they become effective.

For details on our minimum regulatory capital requirements see Note 11 - Capital and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock (MRCS) to the condensed financial statements in this Form 10-Q, and Minimum Capital Requirements in Note 12 - Capital and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock (MRCS) to the financial statements of our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K.

Reduced Capitalization Advance Program (RCAP)

RCAP allows members to borrow one or more advances with an activity stock requirement of only 2% for the life of the advance instead of the current 4.5% requirement under our Capital Plan’s general provisions. At ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, RCAP advances outstanding total ~~$21.3~~$21.0 billion to ~~383~~341 members compared to ~~$21.9~~$20.6 billion to ~~449~~351 members at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The advances issued through our COVID-19 relief ~~program~~and recovery programs are all RCAP advances. We may implement future programs for advances with a reduced activity stock requirement that may or may not have the same characteristics as current RCAP offerings.

We may not pay dividends if we fail to satisfy our minimum capital and liquidity requirements under the FHLB Act and FHFA regulations. On ~~July~~April 28, ~~2021,~~2022, our Board of Directors declared a ~~5.00%~~5.125% dividend (annualized) for Class B1 activity stock and a ~~2.00%~~2.125% dividend (annualized) for Class B2 membership stock based on our preliminary financial results for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2021.~~2022. This dividend totaled ~~$25~~$27 million (recorded as ~~$22~~$24 million dividends on capital stock and $3 million interest expense on mandatorily redeemable capital stock) and is scheduled for payment on ~~August~~May 12, ~~2021.~~2022.

Although we continue to work to maintain our financial strength to support a reasonable dividend, any future dividend payment remains subject to declaration by our Board and will depend on future operating results, our Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy and any other factors the Board determines to be relevant. For further information ~~see~~ on our Retained Earnings ~~& Dividends~~ ~~on page 66 in our 2020 Form 10-K.~~and Dividend Policy, see the discussion below.

We continue to allocate 20% of our net income each quarter to a restricted retained earnings account in accordance with the Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement that we entered into with the other FHLBs, as further discussed in Joint Capital Enhancement Agreement in Note 12 - Capital and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock (MRCS) to the financial statements of our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K.

Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy

Our Board of Directors has adopted a Retained Earnings and Dividend Policy (the “Policy”) which, as last updated in March 2022, provides the Bank with guidelines for establishing adequate retained earnings to create long-term value for members and paying dividends that achieve the Bank’s objectives.

Specifically, the Policy requires the Bank to monitor retained earnings compared to a retained earnings target on a quarterly basis to determine the appropriate level of retained earnings, any dividend payments, and/or any other capital activities. The retained earnings target has two components: risk and regulatory retained earnings requirements (which determines the amount of retained earnings the Bank needs to manage risks, maintain shareholder value, and meet regulatory requirements) and a desired corridor of retained earnings requirement (which assesses the amount of retained earnings the Bank desires to have to maintain the scale of the Bank).

Under the Policy, the Board may, but is not required to, declare a dividend out of net income (with certain adjustments as described below) and/or retained earnings after consideration of the retained earnings target and the Board’s and management's assessment of the current adequacy of retained earnings. For these purposes, adjusted net income is net income resulting directly from certain business activities, excluding income from such activities as advance prepayments, transfers of debt to other FHLBs, and gains/losses resulting from certain hedging practices.

Credit Risk Management

In light of the economic and financial disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are closely monitoring our credit risk exposure. Notwithstanding increasing COVID-19 vaccination rates and the easing of restrictive measures, uncertainty remains with respect to the speed and extent to which normal economic and operating conditions can resume, and with the ultimate effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For a discussion of the credit risks facing the Bank as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of increased forbearances granted by Bank members or PFIs or a decline in the fair value of Bank investments, see ~~Risk Factors~~ ~~starting on page 23 of our 2020 Form 10-K.~~

Managing Our Credit Risk Exposure Related to Member Credit Products

Our credit risk rating system focuses primarily on our ~~member's~~members' overall financial health and takes into account the member's asset quality, earnings, and capital position. For further information please see Credit Risk starting on page 69 in our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K.

The following table presents the number of members and related credit outstanding to them by credit risk rating. Credit outstanding consists primarily of outstanding advances and letters of credit. MPF credit enhancement obligations, member derivative exposures, and other obligations make up the rest. Of the total credit outstanding, ~~$45.7~~$47.3 billion were advances (par value) and ~~$12.8~~$11.2 billion were letters of credit at ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, compared to ~~$45.8~~$47.7 billion and ~~$16.4~~$11.3 billion at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Members assigned a 4 rating in the above table were required to submit specific collateral listings and the members assigned a 5 rating were required to deliver collateral to us or to a third party custodian on our behalf.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we began accepting Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans as eligible collateral. In addition, as many of our members assist borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are accepting as eligible collateral loans temporarily granted forbearance due to the pandemic as long as the loans continue to meet all other eligibility requirements as defined in our collateral guidelines. To the extent that these loans become delinquent or do not meet the Bank’s eligibility guidelines in the future, the value of collateral pledged to secure member credit may be negatively impacted.

MPF Loans and Related Exposures

For details on our allowance for credit losses on MPF Loans, please see Note 8 - Allowance for Credit Losses to the condensed financial statements.

Credit Risk Exposure - Our credit risk exposure on conventional MPF Loans held in portfolio is the potential for financial loss due to borrower default and depreciation in the value of the real estate collateral securing the MPF Loan, offset by our ability to recover losses from PMI, Recoverable CE Fees, and the CE Amount which may include SMI. The PFI is required to pledge collateral to secure any portion of its CE Amount that is a direct obligation of the PFI. For further details see Loss Structure for Credit Risk Sharing Products on page 9 of our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K, and Credit Risk Exposure and Setting Credit Enhancement Levels starting on page 72 of our ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K.

Under our MPF Program for ~~non-government insured or guaranteed~~conventional loans held in our portfolio, the loan payment forbearance offered to borrowers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic allows a borrower to defer loan payments for up to 180 days without requiring documentation from the borrower to support the relief requested. Borrowers that continue to be impacted by COVID-19 may request extensions of the loan payment forbearance for additional periods of up to 365 days, not exceeding a total cumulative forbearance period of 1824 months. A hardship certification from the borrower supporting the continued hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic is required for approval of additional payment forbearance. During forbearance, late fees are not assessed. At the end of forbearance, borrowers are presented with options for bringing their mortgage loan to a current status.

For ~~government insured or guaranteed loans~~Government Loans held in our portfolio, the forbearance plan requirements of the insuring or ~~guaranteeing~~guarantying agency must be followed. For MPF Xtra loans that are serviced by PFIs or a servicing aggregator approved by the MPF Program, Fannie Mae’s forbearance plan requirements must be ~~followed. The CARES Act requires that servicers servicing government insured or guaranteed loans and loans purchased by Fannie Mae offer their borrowers~~followed, which allows a ~~payment forbearance plan where the initial forbearance period is~~borrower to defer loan payments for up to 180 days with the availability of an additional 180 days for COVID-19 related hardship. Fannie Mae has amended its plan from the CARES Act requirements, to offer their borrowers initial forbearance period of up to 180 days with the availability of additional periods of up to 365 days, not exceeding a total cumulative forbearance period of 18 months.

Borrowers who are in existing forbearance plans ~~who have resolved~~are evaluated for reinstatement, repayment, deferment, permanent loan modification, or liquidation options, as appropriate for their COVID-19 related financial hardships, and who are able to resume making their original monthly payments, are offered deferral plans allowing them to resume making those payments while deferring the COVID-19 related forbearance arrears to the earlier of the loan being paid off, the loan maturity date, or sale of the property.situation.

~~In addition, the foreclosure moratorium will continue until at least December 31, 2021~~

Mortgage Repurchase Risk

We are exposed to mortgage repurchase risk in connection with our sale of MPF Loans to Fannie Mae under the MPF Xtra product, to third party investors under the MPF Direct Product, and to Ginnie Mae for MPF Loans securitized in Ginnie Mae MBS if a loan eligibility requirement or other representation or warranty is breached. We may require the PFI from which we purchased the ineligible MPF Loan to repurchase that loan from us or indemnify us for related losses or request indemnification from the PFI’s MPF Bank. Of these three products, our MPF Xtra product is our most popular, and during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we purchased and concurrently delivered $0.6 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, in unpaid principal balance of these loans to Fannie Mae.

Managing Our Credit Risk Exposure Related to Derivative Agreements

See Note 9 - Derivatives and Hedging Activities to the condensed financial statements for a discussion of how we manage our credit risk exposure related to derivative agreements. We have credit exposure on net asset positions where we have not received adequate collateral from our counterparties. We also have credit exposure on net liability positions where we have pledged collateral in excess of our liability to a counterparty.

The following table presents our derivative positions where we have such credit exposures. The rating used was the lowest rating among the three largest NRSROs. Non-cash collateral pledged consists of initial margin we posted through our FCMs, on behalf of the DCOs for cleared derivatives and is included in our derivative positions with credit exposure. We had no material concentration of credit risk with any one bilateral derivative counterparty.

Legislative and Regulatory Developments

Significant regulatory actions and developments are summarized below.

~~LIBOR Transition~~Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act

On March 15, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Economic Continuity and Stability Act, which includes the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (the “LIBOR Act”). The LIBOR Act addresses certain issues of contractual uncertainty arising from the phase out of the publication of LIBOR, which issues are discussed in LIBOR Transition ~~– 2021 ISDA Interest Rate Derivatives Definitions~~on page 46. The LIBOR Act provides a national, uniform approach to legacy contracts without adequate fallback provisions commencing from the LIBOR replacement date of June 30, 2023 or such other date as the Federal Reserve Board may designate. For relevant contracts, the LIBOR Act will automatically impose a rate selected by the Federal Reserve Board based upon the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) including any applicable tenor spread adjustment. The legislation also includes a safe harbor against liability for parties with contractual discretion who choose the Federal Reserve Board's SOFR-based rate to replace LIBOR. Notwithstanding enactment of the LIBOR Act, the contractual consequences of LIBOR cessation for some existing LIBOR-indexed instruments may still be unclear. Accordingly, the Bank continues to take steps to mitigate the risks that arise from the phase out of LIBOR.

Amendment to FINRA Rule 4210: Margining of Covered Agency Transactions.

On ~~June 11, 2021, ISDA published 2021 ISDA Interest Rate Derivatives Definitions (2021 ISDA Definitions),~~February 25, 2022, the Financial Industries Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) extended the implementation date of its amendments to FINRA Rule 4210 delaying the effectiveness of margining requirements for covered agency transactions until October 26, 2022. Once the margining requirements are effective, the Bank may be required to collateralize its transactions that are covered agency transactions, which ~~will update~~include to be announced transactions (“TBAs”). These collateralization requirements could have the effect of reducing the overall profitability of engaging in covered agency transactions, including TBAs. We do not expect this rule to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Proposed SEC Rule on Climate-related Disclosures.

On March 21, 2022, the SEC issued a proposed rule on climate-related disclosures that would require the Bank to expand the breadth, specificity and ~~consolidate~~rigor of climate-related disclosures in its periodic reports. More specifically, the ~~frequently supplemented 2006 ISDA Definitions as~~proposed rule would require the ~~standard definitions for uncleared interest rate derivatives. The 2021 ISDA Definitions incorporate prior supplements~~Bank to disclose its:

•direct and certain indirect greenhouse gas emissions;

•climate transition plan, climate-related targets and goals, and progress toward any such plan, targets, or goals;

•climate-related risks over various time horizons and their impacts;

•climate-related financial statement metrics and related information, both qualitative and quantitative, in the notes to the ~~2006 ISDA Definitions~~Bank’s financial statements; and

•corporate governance of climate-related risks and risk management processes.

Under the propose rule, compliance would be phased in, ~~addition~~with the Bank becoming subject to ~~other changes made to conform to updates in market practice~~certain disclosure requirements for its annual report for fiscal year 2024 and ~~regulation. Both the 2006 ISDA Definitions as supplemented effective January 25, 2021, and the 2021 ISDA Definitions contain ISDA-recommended fallbacks~~additional disclosure requirements for ~~interest rate derivatives referencing an interbank offered rate, including U.S. Dollar LIBOR. ISDA has announced that implementation of the 2021 ISDA Definitions is expected to take place~~its annual report for clearing houses, trading venues and other market infrastructures between October 1-4, 2021. While the FHLBs may continue to use the current 2006 ISDA Definitions, ISDA will not incorporate any further supplements following implementation of the 2021 ISDA Definitions.fiscal year 2025.

We ~~are evaluating~~continue to review the proposed rule, but expect that it would result in increased costs and complexity associated with the Bank’s SEC reporting. While the Bank is unable to quantify the anticipated costs at this time, the Bank expects that compliance would require operational enhancements impacting many aspects of the Bank’s business. The Bank is unable to predict at this time whether the SEC will finalize the proposed rule, the extent to ~~use~~which any final rule will deviate from the ~~2021 ISDA Definitions for future derivatives transactions.~~proposed rule and the extent to which the Bank would be required to comply with any final rule.

~~COVID-19 Developments~~

~~Federal Reserve Board (FRB) Extends Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Liquidity Facility~~

On June 25, 2021, the FRB announced a final extension of its PPP Liquidity Facility (PPPLF) by an additional month to July 30, 2021. The PPPLF provides collateralized PPP loan liquidity to eligible Federal Reserve member financial institutions in order to facilitate PPP loan originations at such financial institutions. The extension would allow additional processing time for banks, community development financial institutions, and other financial institutions to pledge to the facility any PPP loans approved by the Small Business Administration through the June 30, 2021 expiration of the PPP program.

~~Additional COVID-19 Presidential, Legislative and Regulatory Developments~~

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the former and current Presidents of the United States, through executive orders, governmental agencies, including the SEC, OCC, Federal Reserve, FDIC, National Credit Union Administration, CFTC and the FHFA, as well as state governments and agencies, have taken, and may continue to take, actions to provide various forms of relief from, and guidance regarding, the financial, operational, credit, market, and other effects of the pandemic, and the Congress has and may continue to enact pandemic relief legislation, some of which may have a direct or indirect impact on the Bank or its members. Many of these actions are temporary in nature. We continue to monitor these actions and guidance as they evolve and to evaluate their potential impact on us.

~~For further discussion of the risks and potential risks relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, see~~ ~~Risk Factors~~ ~~starting on page 23 of our 2020 Form 10-K.~~

~~Other Legislative Matters~~

~~Affordable Housing and Community Investment~~

Legislation has been introduced in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives that, if enacted in its proposed form, would require that the FHLBs set aside higher percentages of their earnings for their affordable housing and community investment programs than is currently required under law. The FHLBs are actively monitoring these proposals.

Measurement of Market Risk Exposure

To measure our exposure, we discount the cash flows generated from modeling the terms and conditions of all interest rate-sensitive securities using current interest rates to determine their fair values or spreads to the swap curve for securities where third party prices are used. This includes considering explicit and embedded options using a lattice model or Monte Carlo simulation. We estimate yield curve, option, and basis risk exposures by calculating the fair value change in relation to various parallel changes in interest rates, implied volatility, prepayment speeds, spreads to the swap curve and mortgage rates.

The table below summarizes our sensitivity to various interest rate risk exposures in terms of changes in market value.

Option Risk Basis Risk
Yield Curve Risk Implied Volatility Prepayment Speeds Spread to Swap Curve Mortgage Spread
As of June 30, 2021 $ 2 $ 3 $ (1) $ (16) $ —
As of December 31, 2020 — (1) (4) (25) 1


	As of March 31, 2022		As of December 31, 2021
Yield Curve Risk	$	4	$	4
Option Risk
Implied Volatility	5		5

Basis Risk
Spread to Swap Curve	(6)		(12)

Yield curve risk – Change in market value for a one basis point parallel increase in the swap curve.

Option risk (implied volatility) – Change in market value for a one percent parallel increase in the swaption volatility.

Option risk (prepayment speeds) – Change in market value for a one percent increase in prepayment speeds.

Basis risk (spread to swap curve) – Change in market value for a one basis point parallel increase in the spread to the swap curve.

Basis risk (mortgage spread) – Change in market value for a one basis point increase in mortgage rates.

As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, our sensitivity to changes in implied volatility using ~~these models~~a lattice model and Monte Carlo simulation was $3$5 million, ~~compared to $(1)~~unchanged from $5 million at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. These sensitivities are limited in that they do not incorporate other risks, including but not limited to non-parallel changes in yield curves, prepayment speeds, and basis risk related to differences between the swap and the other curves. Option positions embedded in our mortgage assets and callable debt impact our yield curve risk profile, such that swap curve changes significantly greater than one basis point cannot be linearly interpolated from the table above.

Duration of equity is another measure to express interest rate sensitivity. We report the results of our duration of equity calculations to the FHFA each quarter. We measure duration of equity in a base case using the actual yield curve as of a specified date and then shock it with an instantaneous shift of the entire curve.

The following table presents the duration of equity reported by us to the FHFA in accordance with the FHFA's guidance, which prescribes that down and up interest-rate shocks equal 200 basis points. The results are shown by duration of equity in years. We continue to monitor impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation trends on the markets and the economy which may impact our mortgage prepayment speed projections and duration of equity in 2022.

Scenario as of Down 200 bps Base Up 200 bps

As of ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, on a U.S. GAAP basis, our fair value surplus (relative to book value) was ~~$438~~$431 million, and our market value of equity to book value of equity ratio was 106%, compared to ~~$330~~$458 million and ~~105%~~107% at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Our market to book value of total capital for regulatory risk-based capital purposes differs from this GAAP calculation, as discussed in Note 11 - Capital and Mandatorily Redeemable Capital Stock (MRCS) to the condensed financial statements.
