Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
(d) Election of Directors
On November 14, 2007, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (the "Bank") announced that William W. Sennholz, President & Chief Executive Officer, Marshfield Savings Bank, Marshfield, Wisconsin, was newly elected to the Bank's Board of Directors ("Board) for a three-year term commencing January 1, 2008. The Board committees on which Director-Elect Sennholz will be named to serve for 2008 have not yet been determined as of the date of this filing.
The election of Director-Elect Sennholz took place in accordance with the rules governing the election of Federal Home Loan Bank directors specified in the Federal Home Loan Bank Act ("Bank Act") and the related regulations of the Federal Housing Finance Board ("FHFB").
Pursuant to 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.
For the Bank's announcement of directors-elect from the state of Illinois, see our 8-K filing dated September 14, 2007.
