Advance demand will continue to be muted as banks work through loan quality / reserve issues. • As this turns around, members will first deploy their excess reserves. The actions taken by the U.S. Government and the Federal Reserve to restart the economy were extraordinary. • We should watch for other potential impacts these actions might have. In particular, there is a prospect for rapidly increasing rates. • The Seattle Bank positions new investments to withstand rate increases of over 500 basis points while avoiding margin compression.

A Vision for the Seattle Bank Michael L. Wilson President and Chief Executive Officer 31


 
The Seattle Bank exists to provide members with funding and liquidity. • Advances are our core business. Reliability is crucial. • We must be available at all points in an economic cycle and during a member’s lifecycle. We want to be innovative to help members thrive in a challenging environment. • We work to anticipate member needs, and value our members’ input. We have an obligation to safeguard the capital our members have entrusted to us. • We must be able to redeem/repurchase stock at par. Any dividend must be reasonable. • We are not a profit maximizing entity. Our Vision for the Seattle Bank 32


 
• Continue working with the Finance Agency to return the bank to health, using the Consent Arrangement as a framework, not as the Seattle Bank’s long-term strategic plan. • Continue working to reduce short-term unsecured investments and replace them with variable- rate, longer-term, secured investments, while retaining our ability to meet our members’ funding needs. • Encourage our members’ use of advances through the introduction of new advance structures and additional forms of collateral, and by enhancing our capital plan. • Strive to repurchase some amount of excess stock in 2012. • Continue our efforts to expand our membership. • Collaborate with other FHLBanks to reduce operating expenses. • Continue pursuing lawsuits against private-label MBS issuers, but building the bank’s future on that outcome. How We Will Achieve Our Vision 33


 
As a cooperative, our mission is to serve as a reliable source of liquidity and funding for our members. Our members’ use of the cooperative – as active borrowers – is key to our long-term viability. Thank you for your continued support and use of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle. 34
