INSTRUCTIONS

Clear All Fields

This Federal Home Loan Bank Member Director Eligibility Certification Form must be completed by
individuals wishing to accept a nomination to stand for election as a member director of the Federal Home
Loan Bank of
(Bank) or to be considered for appointment by the Bank’s board to fill a
member directorship that has become vacant. It must also be completed annually by each incumbent member
director. Your responses to the questions on this Form will assist the Bank in verifying that you meet the
eligibility requirements to serve as a member director. Please complete and execute this Form and return
it to the Bank on or before
.
You are eligible to serve as a member of the Bank only if you meet all of the following requirements:
· You are a citizen of the United States.
·

You are an officer or director of a member institution of the Bank:
o That was a member of the Bank as of December 31,
; and
o Whose voting state for purposes of Bank directorship elections is the state that is represented by
the directorship for which you have been nominated; and

·

Each member of the Bank for which you are an officer or director is in compliance with all of its
applicable minimum capital requirements established by its primary regulator (this requirement does not
apply in the case of any member for which you are an officer or director that does not have capital
requirements established by a primary regulator, such as a non-depository community development
financial institution).

These eligibility requirements may be found in sections 7(a) and (b) of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act, 12
U.S.C. 1427(a) and (b), and in Federal Housing Finance Agency regulations at 12 CFR 1261.5(a) and (b).

Please follow the instructions below appropriate for the purpose for which you are completing this Form.

NOMINEES IN THE ANNUAL ELECTION CYCLE
If you have been nominated to stand for election as a member director of the Bank you must complete and
execute this Form and submit it to the Bank on or before the date specified by the Bank to accept the nomination.
If you do not submit a completed and executed Form by that date, you will be deemed to have declined the
nomination. By law, the Bank may not permit a directorship nominee to stand for election unless it has verified
that the nominee is legally eligible to serve in the directorship for which he or she has been nominated. Further,
the Bank may neither declare elected any nominee nor seat any director-elect whom it has reason to know is
ineligible to serve.

CANDIDATES TO FILL A VACANT MEMBER DIRECTORSHIP
If the Bank’s board of directors is considering you as a candidate to fill the unexpired term of office of a vacant
member directorship on the Bank’s board, you must complete and execute this Form and return it to the Bank on
or before the date specified by the Bank. If you fail to submit a completed and executed Form by that date, or if
you submit a Form that does not adequately demonstrate that you meet all applicable eligibility requirements, the
Bank may determine that you are ineligible to serve, in which case the Bank’s board would be prohibited by law
from electing you to fill the vacant directorship. By law, the Bank’s board may not elect any person to fill a
vacant directorship unless it has verified that the individual is legally eligible to serve in that directorship.
ANNUAL ELIGIBILITY CERTIFICATIONS BY INCUMBENT DIRECTORS
The Bank is required by law to solicit information from its incumbent directors annually to verify that each
director remains in compliance with the applicable statutory and regulatory eligibility requirements. During each
calendar year that you are an incumbent member director, you must complete and execute this Form and return it
to the Bank on or before the date specified by the Bank. If you fail to submit a completed and executed Form by
that date, or if you submit a Form that does not adequately demonstrate that you continue to meet all applicable
eligibility requirements, the Bank may determine that you are ineligible to serve, in which case it would be
required by law to declare your directorship vacant.
