Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On November 12, 2024, the Governance and Public Policy Committee (“Governance Committee”) of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“Bank”) Board of Directors (“Board”), as authorized by the Bank’s Board, reviewed the results of the 2024 Election of Directors by stockholders of the Bank that concluded on November 7, 2024, to fill: (1) two Pennsylvania Member Directorships; and (2) two Independent Directorships. There were no open Delaware or West Virginia Member Directorships during this election.
Following its review of the election results, the Governance Committee declared the following nominees elected (or re-elected as applicable) to serve 4-year terms on the Board, beginning January 1, 2025, and ending December 31, 2028:
Pennsylvania Member Director (Incumbents)
Brendan J. McGill, President and CEO, Harleysville Financial Corporation and Harleysville Bank
James V. Dionise, Director, NexTier Bank
Independent Directors (Incumbents)
Romulo L. Diaz, Jr.
Dr. Howard B. Slaughter, Jr.
Attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is a press release issued by the Bank announcing the above results of the election. The election of the Member Directors, and the Independent Directors took place in accordance with the terms of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act and Federal Housing Finance Agency (“Finance Agency”) Regulations. No in-person meeting of the members was held. The Board has not yet determined on which committees the Member Directors, and the Independent Directors will serve beginning in 2025. Directors serving on the Bank's Board in 2025 will be eligible to receive compensation under the Bank's 2025 Directors’ Compensation Policy (“Policy”) once non-objection to the Policy is received from the Finance Agency.
The Bank is a cooperative and, as such, most of the Bank’s business is conducted with its members. In the normal course of its business, the Bank extends credit to, and transacts other business with, members whose officers or directors may serve as Member Directors of the Bank. It is the Bank’s policy to extend credit to, and transact other business with, members having directors or officers serving on the Bank’s Board on terms and conditions that are no more favorable than the terms and conditions of comparable transactions with similarly situated members having no Board representation. In addition, the Bank may have transactions with Independent Directors as well. For further information regarding such transactions, including information regarding related person transactions as defined in 17 C.F.R. §229.404(a), see Item 13 of the Bank’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
