(b) On December 12, 2011, the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") received a letter from Mr. Thomas M. O’Brien in which Mr. O’Brien stated that he would no longer be eligible to serve as a Member Director of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLBNY") representing New York members once the pending merger of the institution of which he is President and Chief Executive Officer, State Bank of Long Island, Jericho, New York, with another entity located outside of the State of New York was concluded, and that as such he would resign from the Board of Directors ("Board") of the FHLBNY on the effective date of the merger. Mr. O’Brien indicated in his letter that the effective date was expected to be January 2, 2012. Each of the FHLBNY’s New York Member Directors are required by regulation to be officers or directors of FHLBNY members that are located in the State of New York.
(d) On December 15, 2011, the FHLBNY’s Board voted to elect Mr. Vincent F. Palagiano, Chairman of the Board and CEO of The Dime Savings Bank of Williamsburgh, Brooklyn, New York, to serve as a Member Director representing New York members effective upon the resignation from the Board of Mr. O’Brien. Mr. Palagiano will serve on the Board through and until December 31, 2012, the end date of the directorship that had been held by Mr. O’Brien.
The election of Mr. Palagiano took place in accordance with the rules governing the filing of vacancies on the Boards of Directors of Federal Home Loan Banks contained in the regulations of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the regulator of the Federal Home Loan Banks. As of the time of this filing, Mr. Palagiano has not been named to serve on any committee of the Board for 2012; further, whether Mr. Palagiano is expected to be named to serve on any committee of the Board for 2012 has not yet been determined.
The compensation of Mr. Palagiano will be in accordance with a 2012 Director Compensation Plan, details of which were disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K/A that was filed on December 15, 2011.
