Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.
On August 8, 2006, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines ("Bank") announced that Lynn Schneider, President of American Bank & Trust of Huron, South Dakota, was elected to the Bank's Board of Directors for a three-year term commencing January 1, 2007. Mr. Schneider currently serves on the Board, and his term expires on December 31, 2006.
Mr. Schneider's election took place in accordance with the rules governing the election of Federal Home Loan Bank directors specified in the Federal Home Loan Bank Act ("Bank Act") and the related regulations of the Federal Housing Finance Board ("FHFB").
At the time of this filing, Mr. Schneider serves on the following committees of the Bank's Board: Bank Operations Committee (chair), Compensation, Diversity and Governance Committee (vice chair), and Executive Committee. Whether Mr. Schneider is expected to be named to serve on any committee of the Board for 2007 has not been determined as of the time of this filing.
Pursuant to the Bank Act and FHFB regulations, the majority of the Bank's directors are elected by and from the Bank's membership. The remaining directors are appointed by the FHFB. In the normal course of its business, the Bank extends credit to members whose officers or directors may serve as directors of the Bank. All loans extended by the Bank to such members are on market terms that are no more favorable to them than the terms of comparable transactions with other members.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K is a copy of the Bank's communication to members dated August 8, 2006, regarding Mr. Schneider's election. The information contained in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
