Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On April 14, 2009, Michael A. Jessee, president and chief executive officer of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (the Bank), presented information to members at the Bank’s annual meeting of shareholders. A copy of this presentation is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K. The information being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 on this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
The presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, based on the Bank’s expectations as of the date of the presentation, which are based upon the Bank’s current expectations and speak only as of that date. These statements may use forward-looking terms, such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “could,” “plans,” “estimates,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “projects”, or their negatives or other variations on these terms. The Bank cautions that undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements because, by their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk or uncertainty, that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements, and that actual events could affect the extent to which a particular objective, projection, estimate, or prediction is realized. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, instability in the credit and debt markets, economic conditions (including effects on, among other things, mortgage-backed securities), accounting changes, changes in mortgage interest rates and prepayment speeds on mortgage assets, and the risk factors set forth in the Bank’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available at www.sec.gov.
