Goal Metrics, Metric Performance Ranges, Participant Eligibility and Metric Weights

This document specifies goal metrics, metric performance ranges/objectives, and metric weights for the participants (Participants) in the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (Plan).

The Plan targets contained in this document specifically cover the 2020 Base Performance Period (January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020) and the 2021 - 2023 Deferral Performance Period (January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023).

A. 2020 Base Performance Period Metrics. The following goal metrics are assigned to the Participants under the Plan. All calculations including interest rates will be rounded to two decimal places.

1. Adjusted Return Spread on Total Regulatory Capital

Definition: The spread between (a) adjusted net income divided by the daily average total regulatory capital and (b) the average daily Overnight Federal funds effective rate (Fed Effective).

Measure:

Adjusted net income is defined as follows:

o Net income calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)

o Plus the recorded AHP assessments

o Excluding the impact or adjustment required because of the Accounting Standards Codification 815 (ASC 815)

o Plus the dividends on redeemable Class A and Class B Common Stock treated as interest expense under ASC 450

o Minus the prepayment fees

o Minus/plus the realized or unrealized gains/losses on securities

o Minus/plus the gains/losses on mortgage loans held for sale

o Minus/plus the gains/losses on early retirement of debt and related derivatives

o Less a calculated 10% AHP assessment

Performance Range:

	Annual Performance Range
Threshold	3.69%
Target	4.41%
Optimum	5.13%

2. GAAP Return Spread on Total Regulatory Capital

Definition: The spread between: (a) GAAP net income divided by the daily average total regulatory capital; and (b) the Fed Effective rate.

Measure:

o Net income calculated under GAAP.

o Daily average total regulatory capital.

o Divide GAAP net income by daily average total regulatory capital to calculate a return.

o Subtract the average daily Overnight Federal funds effective rate (Fed Effective) from the GAAP return.

Performance Range:

	Annual Performance Range
Threshold	3.55%
Target	4.72%
Optimum	5.90%

3. Adjusted Net Income after Capital Charge

Definition: The dollar amount of adjusted net income as defined in the above metric that exceeds the cost of the required return on capital.

Measure: Adjusted income as defined in the Net Income after Capital Charge Definition above, less required return on capital. The required return on capital is the sum of the outstanding regulatory Class B Common Stock times the average of three-month LIBOR plus 1.00 percent for each day during the year plus the sum of regulatory Class A Common Stock and retained earnings times the average of three-month LIBOR for each day during the year.

Performance Range:

	Annual Performance Range
Threshold	$79,433,000
Target	$99,291,000
Optimum	$119,149,000

4. GAAP Net Income after Capital Charge

Definition: The dollar amount of GAAP net income that exceeds the cost of the required return on capital.

Measure: GAAP net income, less required return on capital. The required return on capital is the sum of the outstanding regulatory Class B Common Stock times the average of three-month LIBOR plus 1.00 percent for each day during the year plus the sum of regulatory Class A Common Stock and retained earnings times the average of three-month LIBOR for each day during the year.

Performance Range:

	Annual Performance Range
Threshold	$72,086,000
Target	$102,980,000
Optimum	$133,875,000

5. Member Product Utilization

Definition: Member product utilization is defined as the weighted average 2020 attainment in member utilization in each of three product categories: (1) Line of Credit or advances; (2) MPF Program; and (3) Letters of Credit. 

Measure: Product utilization is calculated by dividing the number of members that qualify as a user of one of the three products (as defined below) at any time during the current year (2020) by the number of members at the end of the current year (2020). The individual product utilization

is compared to the target level to arrive at the level of attainment for each of the three products. The percentage attainment to target for each product is then multiplied by the weight assigned to each product to arrive at the overall weighted product utilization goal attainment.

Products and Weighting:

MPF Program – Weight 25%

A participating financial institution (PFI) that delivers at least one loan during the year into any one or more of the MPF products will qualify as using the MPF program.

Letters of Credit – Weight 25%

A member that applies for and we issue to them at least one new Letter of Credit during the year will qualify as using the Letter of Credit product.  

Line of Credit or Regular Advance – Weight 50%

A member that uses the line of credit and has an outstanding balance for a total of 5 days during the year or who takes one (or more) new advance for a term of 3 or more days (short-term fixed rate, regular fixed rate, symmetrical fixed rate, callable, member option, amortizing fixed rate, adjustable, convertible, structured advance or forward settle advance that settles during the year) during the year will quality as a using an advance related product.

Performance Range:

Product	Threshold	Target	Optimum
MPF Program	24.00%	25.50%	27.00%
