Explanatory Note
This Form 8-K/A is filed to amend and restate in its entirety Item 5.02 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston on October 23, 2006, in order to correctly state the expiration of Mr. Edwards’ term as a director. The original disclosure indicated that the term would conclude on December 31, 2009. The correct expiration date for this appointment is December 31, 2008.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
The Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (the Bank) received notice on October 18, 2006, from Michael Edwards regarding his intention to accept an appointment to the board of directors of the Bank, effective January 1, 2007, and expiring on December 31, 2008. Board committee appointments were not designated at this time.
Mr. Edwards is group executive vice president and treasurer of Citizens Bank of Rhode Island. He also serves as group executive vice president and treasurer of Citizens Financial Group, Inc., the holding company of Citizens Bank.
The Bank’s regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board), redesignated a Connecticut directorship to Rhode Island effective January 1, 2007. Under section 915 of Finance Board regulations, the Finance Board may eliminate any stock directorship or redesignate it to represent members in another state. As part of its annual designation, the Finance Board redesignated one of the two existing Connecticut seats, creating a second Rhode Island seat in response to an increase in the proportionate shareholdings of the Bank’s Rhode Island members. A redesignated directorship must be filled through an appointment by the Bank’s board of directors. The appointment of Mr. Edwards fills the second Rhode Island directorship. With two years remaining in the term of this redesignated directorship, Mr. Edwards’ term concludes on December 31, 2008.
