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

On December 16, 2010, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (Bank) filed a report on Form 8-K announcing the appointment of Mr. W. Wesley McMullan as the Bank's President and Chief Executive Officer, effective December 16, 2010. On January 28, 2011, the board of directors of the Bank (Board) received a non-objection letter from the Federal Housing Finance Agency regarding Mr. McMullan's compensation and benefits as set forth in an Employment Agreement between Mr. McMullan and the Bank (Agreement).

The Agreement, effective as of December 16, 2010, provides for a base salary for Mr. McMullan of $650,000 per year, which amount may be increased from year to year by the Board, and a $1,500 per month automobile allowance during each year of his employment. Mr. McMullan is entitled to participate in all incentive, savings and retirement plans and programs available to senior executives of the Bank and will be eligible to receive annual incentives under the Bank's incentive compensation plan as established by the Board from time to time.

The Agreement may be terminated at any time by the Bank, with or without "cause," or by Mr. McMullan, with or without "good reason," each as defined in the Agreement. Unless earlier terminated by either party as provided therein, the Agreement has a three-year term and will extend automatically for subsequent one-year periods unless either party elects not to renew. If during the term of his employment Mr. McMullan is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason, the Agreement provides for severance pay in an amount equal to:

  • his then-current annual base salary, payable in a lump sum within 30 days, and
  • the short-term incentive award that he would have earned for the year in which the termination or resignation occurs had he remained employed, payable at the same time that such awards are paid to the Bank's senior executives.

The Agreement does not provide for any severance pay in the event of a termination with cause, a termination on account of his death or disability, or his resignation without good reason.
