Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
The board of directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the "Bank") selected James F. Burr to fill a vacant position on the board, effective March 30, 2007. The position, currently allocated to California, has a term ending December 31, 2008. The position became vacant when Michael Roster resigned from the board, effective February 5, 2007.
Mr. Burr is Executive Vice President and Treasurer of World Savings Bank, FSB, Oakland, California. The Bank's board will appoint Mr. Burr to its committees when he joins the board.
In 2007, the Finance Board's annual designation of elected director positions for the Bank will be based on the relative number of shares of capital stock required to be held by the members in each state in the Bank's district as of December 31, 2006, and will take effect January 1, 2008. Given increases in the number of shares of capital stock required to be held by the Bank's Nevada members in 2006, the relative number of shares of capital stock required to be held by the members in each state in the Bank's district as of December 31, 2006, is likely to result in the redesignation of Mr. Burr's director position from California to Nevada, effective January 1, 2008. If the position is redesignated to Nevada, Mr. Burr's California director position on the Board will end on December 31, 2007, and the Bank's board will be required to select an officer or director of a Nevada member to serve the remainder of the term, beginning January 1, 2008, and ending December 31, 2008.
In accordance with Federal Housing Finance Board regulations, Mr. Burr's compensation for service on the Bank's board is subject to the Bank's 2007 Board of Directors Compensation and Expense Reimbursement Policy as follows:
Director Meeting Fees - 2007
(In whole dollars) |
Type of Meeting | Position | Meeting Fees |

Director Annual Compensation Limits - 2007
(In whole dollars) |

In addition, the Bank reimburses directors for necessary and reasonable travel, subsistence, and other related expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their official duties.
