2018 Incentive Plan

On February 22, 2018, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (the “Bank”) received a non-objection letter from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) concerning the Bank's 2018 Incentive Plan (“2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan had previously been approved by the Bank's Board of Directors (“Board”), subject to receipt of the FHFA's non-objection. The 2018 Plan is effective retroactively to January 1, 2018. Most full-time and part-time employees, including the Bank’s named executive officers as identified in the Bank's Form 10-K expected to be filed with the SEC on or before March 31, 2018 (the "Named Executive Officers"), are eligible to participate in the 2018 Plan.

Notwithstanding the formulaic method for determining awards under the 2018 Plan, actual payouts under the 2018 Plan are subject to the review and approval of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee (“Compensation Committee”) of the Board, and the review and non-objection of the FHFA. The Compensation Committee may amend the goals and/or related award opportunities at any time in 2018, subject to the review and non-objection of the FHFA. The goals and/or related award opportunities under the 2018 Plan may also be amended based on any recommendations received from the FHFA. The 2018 Plan is summarized below.

Under the 2018 Plan, incentive award opportunities for Bank-wide performance goals (“Bank-wide Goals”) and individual/team performance goals (“Individual Goals”) are based upon established “threshold,” “target” and “maximum” award levels. Eligible employees are assigned an incentive compensation award opportunity expressed as a percentage of the employee's base salary in 2018. The Bank-wide Goals are based on certain measures of success as set forth in the Bank’s 2018-2020 Strategic Business Plan, and are as follows:

Member Focus (30% total weight) with two measures: Core Product Utilization ratio (15% weight) and Advance Penetration ratio (15% weight).

Operational Excellence (35% total weight) with two measures: Operational Risk Management (20%) and Operational Excellence Projects (15%).

Financial Management (25% total weight) with two measures: Spread between Adjusted Return on Capital Stock and Average 3-month LIBOR (15% weight) and Market Value of Capital Stock (MVCS) (10% weight).

People and Culture (10% total weight) measured by the Diversity and Inclusion initiative.

Individual Goals under the 2018 Plan are generally tied to action plans as set forth in the Bank's Strategic Business Plan, as well as to individual responsibilities of Bank employees.

For the Bank's Named Executive Officers, the overall incentive award opportunity under the 2018 Plan is weighted 100% on overall Bank-wide Goals. With respect to the Bank's President and Chief Executive Officer, the 2018 Plan incentive award opportunity is between 50% (threshold) and 100% (maximum) of base salary, with a target of 85%. For the Bank's other eligible Name Executive Officers, the 2018 Plan incentive award opportunity is between 40% (threshold) and 80% (maximum) of base salary, with a target of 60%.

For the Bank's Named Executive Officers and certain other officers, the 2018 Plan requires a percentage of the incentive award to be deferred for three years following the end of the performance plan period (to be paid out in 2022). For the Named Executive Officers, 50% of those incentive awards will be deferred. However, the payout opportunity for deferred payouts will be subject to a market value of capital stock (MVCS) modifier, as follows:

If the average quarterly MVCS for 2021 is less than $100 per share, there will be no deferred award payout.

For every three dollars that the average quarterly MVCS for 2021 exceeds $100 per share, one percentage point will be added to the multiplier of 100% up to a maximum multiplier of 110%.

The above description of the 2018 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the 2018 Plan, which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
