RESULTS ANNOUNCED IN BOARD ELECTIONS AT FHLBANK PITTSBURGH

PITTSBURGH, November 23, 2011 – The Board of Directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLBank) of Pittsburgh today announced the results of the recent election to fill seats vacated by Directors whose terms expire on December 31, 2011. The election includes one member director position for Pennsylvania and one nonmember independent director position.

Member Directors – The FHLBank’s members elected one new director to a member director position. The new director is William C. Marsh, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Farmers National Bank of Emlenton, Emlenton, Pennsylvania. Mr. Marsh was elected to serve a four-year term.

Independent Directors – The FHLBank’s members elected one incumbent director to a nonmember independent director position. John K. Darr, retired Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the FHLBanks’ Office of Finance, was elected to serve a four-year term.

Beginning January 1, 2012, the number of seats on the Board of Directors is being reduced due to the elimination of a Delaware member directorship by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Therefore, Lynda A. Messick will no longer serve as a director as of that date.

All new directors certified as winners of the 2011 elections will begin their terms of office on January 1, 2012.
