Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On October 25, 2024, the board of directors (board) of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (FHLBank) approved the Amended and Restated Bylaws (Bylaws) with revisions related to changed officer titles and responsibilities. Previously, the Bylaws permitted the President to only remove the chief risk officer and the chief compliance and ethics officer from office with the approval of the Risk Oversight committee of the board. The revision removes reference to the chief compliance and ethics officer and states the President is permitted to only remove the chief risk officer from office with the approval of the Risk Oversight committee of the board. Additional non-substantive changes to the Bylaws were also approved. The changes became effective October 25, 2024.
The foregoing description of the amendments to FHLBank’s Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bylaws, a copy of which, marked to show changes from the prior version, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated here by reference.
