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

On September 19, 2011 the Board of Directors ("Board") of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh ("Bank") approved amendments to the Bank’s Executive Officer Amended and Restated Temporary Incentive Plan effective as of January 1, 2011 ("Plan"), which Plan includes its Named Executive Officers ("NEOs") as identified in its 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 18, 2011 ("Form 10-K"). On September 27, 2011 the Federal Housing Finance Agency issued its non-objection to the amendments to the Plan. Descriptions of existing plans and Bank compensation practices in regard to the NEOs, prior to the latest action, can be found in "Item 11—Executive Compensation" of the Bank’s Form 10-K. The amendments include a substantial reduction in the award opportunities available to participants under the Plan and provide for the sunset of the Plan following December 31, 2011. Other key terms of the amendments include: 1) with respect to the opportunity levels for achievement of the additional incentive award goals by December 31, 2011 changing the opportunity level to 80% of base salary for the CEO and 54% of base salary for the other NEOs; 2) amending the measurement of the additional incentive award goals to provide that return to normal operations shall mean achievement of the four (4) goals during any one (1) quarter during the plan year; and 3) capping the amount of each individual participant’s base incentive award and additional incentive award under the Plan so that the aggregate of the base and additional awards shall not exceed 100% of the participant’s base salary.
