Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On February 26, 2015, the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the “Bank”) issued a member communication notifying members of amendments to the Bank’s Capital Plan, which will become effective April 1, 2015, and result in the following changes to the Bank’s stock purchase requirements:
lower the cap on the membership stock requirement to $15 million from $25 million;
lower the activity-based stock requirement to 3.0% from 4.7% for outstanding advances and to 3.0% from 5.0% for mortgage loans purchased and held by the Bank; and
change the authorized ranges for the activity-based stock requirement.

The Capital Plan amendments will also:
change the definition of “membership asset value” to clarify that, for members that do not file periodic regulatory reports, the Bank may rely on a member’s most recent financial statements or other financial information to determine the member’s membership asset value;
change the definition of “minimum stock retention requirement” to clarify that for former members under certain circumstances, the stock retention requirement is equal to the activity-based stock requirement only;
add a new provision to address the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s regulation on the voting rights of members in connection with the voluntary merger of the Bank with another Federal Home Loan Bank; and
make other clarifying and conforming changes.

The foregoing description of the amendments to the Capital Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy of the Capital Plan included herein as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report. The information being furnished pursuant to Item 3.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and contained in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
