Pursuant to 12 C.F.R. §1261.8(c), if the number of nominees for Member Directorships in any particular State is equal to or fewer than the number of directorships to be filled in that year’s election, those nominees will be considered automatically elected. Thus, due to the Bank receiving only one nomination for each of the open Board seats in Delaware and West Virginia, there was not a Member Director election in Delaware or West Virginia. Both Ms. Messick and Mr. Ritchie shall serve four-year terms beginning on January 1, 2015 and ending on December 31, 2018.

The FHLBank held a district-wide election to fill one expiring Independent Directorship. The following individual was elected:

Of the 297 members district-wide eligible to vote in this election, 130 cast a ballot in the Independent Director Election. The total number of votes eligible to be cast for each of the Independent Director nominees in this election was 8,965,249. The following summary provides the number of votes cast:

Please note that pursuant to Federal Housing Finance Agency regulation, members who vote cast all of their shares of Bank stock that they were required to hold as of December 31, 2013 for each open Directorship to be filled.

Delaware and West Virginia members were eligible to vote their shares one time for the Independent Director candidate.
Sincerely,
Dana A. Yealy
