Item 5.05 Amendments to the Registrant's Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.
On November 18, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (the "FHLBNY") approved various amendments to its Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code"). Most of the amendments were of a technical, administrative or otherwise non-substantive nature and addressed the FHLBNY’s policies regarding maintaining confidentiality, gifts and payments from third parties, impartial behavior, director election activity, and disclosures of conflicts by directors, among other matters. In addition, a substantive change was made through the addition of a new Section C 17, which affirmatively provides that all employees are expected to comply with all currently approved and published Bank policies and management policies, as well as the Employee Handbook, along with any of the material referenced therein, as such material is updated from time to time. New Section C 17 further provides that it is the responsibility of each employee to review these published materials and to stay current with changes as they occur.
The foregoing summary of amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Code, as amended and restated, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 14.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.05.
The Code in general applies to all of the FHLBNY’s officers, directors and employees. Amending the Code as described herein did not result in a waiver or implicit waiver (as defined in Instruction 2 to Item 5.05), of the previous edition of the Code. The Code has been posted in the Corporate Governance section of the FHLBNY’s website at www.fhlbny.com.
