Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 17, 2024 the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) informed Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (“FHLBank”) of its non-objection to FHLBank’s 2024 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (“EICP”) Targets, Goal Metrics, Metric Performance Ranges, and Metric Weights (the “Target Document”) adopted by the Board of Directors of FHLBank (“Board”) on April 22, 2024.
Annually, the Board is responsible for establishing performance measures by approving a Target Document for the operation of FHLBank’s EICP for the applicable fiscal year and covers the 2024 “Base Performance Period” (January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024). The Target Document defines three achievement levels for each Performance Measure: Threshold, Target, and Optimum. Performance between Threshold-Target and Target-Optimum is calculated by linear interpolation. Eligibility in the EICP is limited to a select group of key management or other highly-compensated employees, including FHLBank’s Named Executive Officers.
The Target Document establishes metrics for the Base Performance Period, which are measured by the results achieved by FHLBank in attaining specified performance levels in the following four areas and are weighted as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| Goal Objective | Metric | Weight |
| Housing and Community Development Mission Alignment | • Affordable Housing Program (AHP) General Fund Ratio (10%) • Native American Housing Initiatives (NAHI) Grants Ratio (10%) • Member Participation in Housing and Community Development Programs (10%)
| 30% |
| Financial Performance | • Return on Equity Spread (30%) | 30% |
| Risk Management | •Market, Credit, Liquidity (15%)
•Compliance, Business, Operations (15%) | 30% |
| Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging | • Education & Culture (5%)
• Business Practice Outcome Measures (5%) | 10% |
| Total: | 100% |
FHLBank must also maintain a daily average Total Regulatory Capital of 4.75 percent for 2024. If FHLBank’s daily average Total Regulatory Capital as a percentage of average Total Assets is below 4.75 percent for 2024, the Total Base Opportunity for the Financial Performance Goals will be adjusted downward.
Total awards payable under the Target Document are not determinable at this time.
The foregoing description of the Target Document is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Target Document attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
