Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On November 23, 2010, the Governance, Public Policy, and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors ("Board") of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh ("Bank"), as authorized by the Bank’s Board, reviewed the results of the recent election of member and non-member independent directors by stockholders of the Bank that concluded on November 19, 2010, and declared the following nominees elected to serve on the Board as member directors:

(1) Mr. David R. Gibson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Wilmington Trust Company, Wilmington, DE, has been elected to serve a one-year term on the Board beginning January 1, 2011, and ending December 31, 2011. Mr. Gibson has served on the Board since 2007.

(2) Mr. John C. Mason, Chief Investment Officer and Treasurer of ING Bank, fsb, Wilmington, DE, has been elected to serve a four-year term on the Board beginning January 1, 2011, and ending December 31, 2014. Mr. Mason has served on the Board since 2009.

(3) Ms. Charlotte B. McLaughlin, Executive Vice President of PNC Bank, NA, Pittsburgh, PA, has been elected to serve a four-year term on the Board beginning January 1, 2011, and ending December 31, 2014.

(4) Mr. Bradford Ritchie, West Virginia President of Summit Community Bank, Moorefield, WV, has been elected to serve a four-year term on the Board beginning January 1, 2011, and ending December 31, 2014.

The following nominees were declared elected to serve on the Board as non-member independent directors:

(1) Ms. Maureen Breakiron-Evans, self-employed, has been elected to serve a four-year term on the Board beginning January 1, 2011, and ending December 31, 2014.

(2) Mr. John K. Darr, retired, has been elected to serve a one-year term on the Board beginning January 1, 2011, and ending December 31, 2011. Mr. Darr has served on the Board since 2008.

Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is a press release issued by the Bank announcing the results of the election.

The Bank’s regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency ("Finance Agency"), adjusted the terms applicable to both the open Delaware member director seats and the open non-member independent director seats in this election to stagger director terms and ensure continuity among the directors serving on the Board. The elections of member directors and non-member independent directors took place in accordance with the terms of the FHLBank Act and Finance Agency Regulations. No in-person meeting of the members was held. The Board has not yet determined on which committees each of these directors will serve beginning in 2011. All directors serving on the Bank's Board for 2011 will receive compensation under the Bank's 2011 Board of Directors’ Fee Policy which has not yet been approved by the Board. Director compensation is subject to the terms of Finance Agency Regulations and subject to Finance Agency review.

The Bank is a cooperative, and most of the Bank’s business is conducted with its members. In the normal course of its business, the Bank extends credit to and transacts other business with members whose officers or directors may serve as member directors of the Bank. It is the Bank’s policy to extend credit to and transact other business with members having directors or officers serving on the Bank’s Board on terms and conditions that are no more favorable than the terms of comparable transactions with similarly situated members having no Board representation.

On November 23, 2010, the Bank declared the voting results for its 2010 election of directors as described in Item 5.02 of this Current Report. Complete voting results are included in the Bank's letter to members dated November 23, 2010, attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
