Bulletin No. 1470

Amendments to the Bank’s Capital Plan

Dear Chief Executive Officer:

Effective April 1, 2015, the Bank is amending its Capital Plan to reduce member stock purchase requirements and make other clarifying and conforming changes. The reduced stock purchase requirements are intended to provide members with more efficient access to Bank funding and help the Bank achieve its financial management objectives.

The Capital Plan requires each member to own stock in an amount equal to the greater of its membership stock requirement and its activity-based stock requirement. The amendments will result in the following changes:
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

The Capital Plan amendments will also change the authorized ranges for the activity-based stock requirement, as follows:
Advances: 2.0% - 5.0% (currently 4.4% - 5.0%)
Mortgage loans: 0.0% - 5.0% (currently 5.0% - 5.7%)

Please review the amended Capital Plan and Summary of the Capital Plan on our public website. Links to these documents (and to blacklined versions of these documents marked to show the differences between the current plan and the amended plan) are also available on the Bank’s member website in the Capital Plan section under About Us.

If you have any questions, please contact your Relationship Manager.

Sincerely,

Dean Schultz
President and Chief Executive Officer
