Item 5.05 Amendments to the Registrant's Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.
On June 16, 2011, 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").
A new Section C 5 b v was added to the Code to make it clear that employees may continue to hold onto stock in companies that later decide to join the FHLBNY as members under certain conditions.
In addition, language was added to the Code in Section C 5 b to make it clear that, with regard to the foregoing types of interests, and other similar permitted interests in a FHLBNY member, employees who have such interests must recuse themselves from any FHLBNY decision relating solely to such member. Also, any disposition of financial interests in a member institution that are otherwise permitted must comply with the prohibitions against insider trading contained in Section 13 of the Code. Further, employees must disclose to a FHLBNY Ethics Officer when interests in member institutions permitted under Sections C 5 b ii) through v) of the Code are acquired, and also advise an Ethics Officer before such interests are disposed.
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. The Code has been posted in the Corporate Governance section of the FHLBNY’s website at www.fhlbny.com.
