Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On October 3, 2011, incumbent director Russell C. Weyers was declared director-elect to serve as a member director of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (the “Bank”). Mr. Weyers' four year term will begin on January 1, 2012. This directorship is being filled without an election because the number of nominees for member director for the state of Wisconsin is equal to the number of open directorships, which is one.
Mr. Weyers was declared director-elect to the Board in accordance with the rules governing the election of Federal Home Loan Bank member directors specified in the Federal Home Loan Bank Act (“Bank Act”) and the related regulations of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”). For more information on these rules, see “2010 Director Election” on page 83 in the Bank's 2010 Form 10-K.
Mr. Weyers serves as President of Johnson Bank in Racine, Wisconsin. At the time of this filing, Mr. Weyers serves as Chairman of the Personnel & Compensation Committee, Vice Chairman of the Operations & Technology Committee and as a member of the Executive & Governance Committee. The Board committees on which Director Weyers will be named to serve for 2012 have not yet been determined as of the date of this filing.
The Bank expects to compensate Director Weyers in accordance with the Bank's Director Compensation Policy for 2012, which has not yet been adopted. For information on the Bank's Director's Compensation Policy for 2011, see “Director Compensation” on page 103 in the Bank's 2010 Form 10-K.
Pursuant to the Bank Act and FHFA regulations, the Bank's member directors are required to be an officer or director of a member of the Bank. The Bank is a cooperative, and most of the Bank's business is conducted with its members. In the normal course of business, the Bank extends credit to members whose officers or directors may serve as directors of the Bank on market terms that are no more favorable to them than the terms of comparable transactions with other members. For further discussion, see “Related Persons and Related Transactions” on page 107 of the Bank's 2010 Form 10-K.
