Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On July 24, 2007, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (the "Bank") appointed William R. Dodds, Jr. to fill a vacant elective director seat on the Board.
The Board's appointment was subject to Mr. Dodds meeting certain eligibility requirements specified by Federal Housing Finance Board regulations. By regulation, the Bank must verify an individual's eligibility before allowing the individual to assume the directorship. On July 30, 2007, the Bank verified that Mr. Dodds meets applicable eligibility requirements and Mr. Dodds assumed the directorship to which he was appointed.
Mr. Dodds is Executive Vice President and Treasurer of The Northern Trust Company, Chicago. Mr. Dodds will complete the term of former Director Thomas M. Goldstein, which ends December 31, 2008. The Board has appointed Mr. Dodds to the Board's Risk Management Committee and Personnel & Compensation Committee.
As per the Bank Act and FHFB regulations, the Bank's elective directors are required to be an officer or director of a member of the Bank. The Bank is a cooperative, and most of the Bank's business is conducted with its members. In the normal course of business, the Bank extends credit to members whose officers or directors may serve as directors of the Bank on market terms that are no more favorable to them than the terms of comparable transactions with other members. For further discussion, see "Related Persons and Related Transactions" on page 94 of the Bank's 2006 Form 10-K.
