Item 3.03 Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.
On May 26, 2010, the Board of Directors ("Board") of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka ("Bank") adopted an amendment to the Bank’s Capital Plan ("Plan") regarding the Repurchase and Exchange of Excess Stock. The Plan defines the rights of the holders of the Bank’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. Pursuant to the Federal Home Loan Bank Act, the Bank cannot implement any amendment to its Plan without the approval of the Federal Housing Finance Agency ("Finance Agency"). On September 1, 2010, the Bank received approval of the amendment from the Finance Agency.
The Bank’s Plan permits the Bank to establish an Excess Stock Repurchase program and to develop a regular Exchange program to Exchange Class B Common Stock for Class A Common Stock, which assist the Bank in managing its capital levels. The amendments revise the provisions governing the Repurchase and Exchange of Excess Stock from requiring that the Bank Repurchase or Exchange Excess Stock on a pro rata basis to permit the Bank to Repurchase or Exchange Excess Stock based on an objective formula consistently applied to all Members. The amendments will permit the Bank to establish a threshold for how much Excess Stock a Member may hold and will permit the Bank to Repurchase or Exchange Excess Stock above that threshold amount.
The Bank’s Plan, as amended, is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
4.1 Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka Capital Plan, as amended effective September 1, 2010.
