FHLB Des Moines Approves Third Quarter 2015 Dividend

The FHLB Des Moines Board of Directors has approved a third quarter 2015 dividend for both the average activity-based capital stock and average membership capital stock outstanding during the quarter. The dividend approved for activity-based capital stock was at an annualized rate of 3.50 percent. The dividend approved for membership capital stock was at an annualized rate of 0.50 percent. The effective combined annualized dividend rate for both subclasses of capital stock outstanding was 2.75 percent. However, the effective combined dividend rate on the total stock held by each member will depend on their level of activity with the Bank during the third quarter.

These dividends will total $27.1 million, which represents 70 percent of net income for the third quarter, and are expected to be paid on November 17, 2015. The average three-month LIBOR rate for the third quarter 2015 was 0.31 percent.
