Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On September 17, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) amended Article III, Section 1 of the FHLBNY’s Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) incorporate into the Bylaws requirements relating to FHLBNY Directors as set forth in the Housing and Economic Recovery Act enacted in 2008 and in related regulations of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”). The amendments describe the two classes of Directors, Member Directors and Independent Directors, that make up the composition of the Board; the nominating process for Independent Directorships; and the filling of Board vacancies by the Directors. The Bylaws were also amended to revise the name of the FHLBNY’s regulator from the Federal Housing Finance Board to the FHFA.
