Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
On June 27, 2011, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (the Bank) provided its members with a notice of discontinuance (the Notice of Discontinuance) of the use of the Bank’s excess stock pool (the Excess Stock Pool) to be effective on June 28, 2011, designating December 28, 2011, as the “Required Stock Purchase Date.” Pursuant to the Bank’s capital plan (the Capital Plan), during the period between providing the Notice of Discontinuance and the Required Stock Purchase Date, no additional shares of Class B Stock from the Excess Stock Pool shall be allocated in support of members’ activity-based stock investment requirements. Each member satisfying the stock investment requirement associated with any eligible advances using the Excess Stock Pool shall be required to satisfy its total stock investment requirement by purchasing the required stock no later than the Required Stock Purchase Date. Alternatively, a member may achieve compliance with its total stock investment requirement by sufficiently reducing its volume of activity-based assets prior to the Required Stock Purchase Date. On the Required Stock Purchase Date, the Bank may use any funds available in a member’s central clearing deposit account with the Bank to satisfy such member’s total stock investment requirement, and, to the extent such funds are insufficient to satisfy such member’s total stock investment requirement, the member shall have been deemed to have drawn an advance from the Bank in the amount of the member’s shortfall, such advance subject in all respects to the terms, conditions and requirements for advances in the member’s agreement for advances with the Bank with a maturity for such deemed advance of one day. The proceeds of such advance shall be applied to purchase Class B Stock in satisfaction of the member’s total stock investment requirement.
