Exhibit 99.1

December 6, 2018


Special Dividend: 6.44%

I am pleased to announce that on December 6, 2018, the Bank’s Board of Directors declared a special dividend on the capital stock outstanding during the third quarter of 2018 at an annualized rate of 6.44%, or $1.62247206 per share. The dividend will total $50 million.

This decision reflects a number of positive factors, including the Bank’s strong earnings and capital position.

The special dividend will be paid in cash based on the average daily balance of stock owned by the shareholder during the third quarter. The special dividend will be credited to your institution’s Settlement/Transaction Account on Wednesday, December 19, 2018, and the funds will become available for withdrawal on the following business day. The dividend payment will appear on your institution’s Dividend Transaction Statement and STA Statement in the reports section of the member portal.

As always, our goal is to help you meet the credit needs of your communities. If you have any questions about the special dividend, please contact your Relationship Manager.

Sincerely,

Greg Seibly
President and Chief Executive Officer
