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

In an at-large election concluded on November 7, 2013, the participating members of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco ("Bank") elected incumbent nonmember independent directors John F. Luikart and John T. Wasley to new terms on the Bank's board. In addition, the participating California members of the Bank elected incumbent director Douglas (Tad) Lowrey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, CapitalSource Bank, Los Angeles, California, and Steven R. Gardner, President and Chief Executive Officer, Pacific Premier Bank, Costa Mesa, California, to serve on the Bank's board as California member directors. The term for each of these positions is four years, beginning January 1, 2014, and ending December 31, 2017. The Bank's board appoints directors to its committees in January each year. In accordance with Federal Housing Finance Agency regulations, compensation for service on the Bank's board for these directors will be subject to the Bank's annual Directors Compensation and Expense Reimbursement Policy.

The Bank issued a press release announcing the election results. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
