September 18, 2009 — We are pleased to announce that FHLBank Topeka’s board of directors approved the following dividends for the third quarter of 2009 at its meeting today: 

• Class A Common Stock: 0.75 percent (per annum)

• Class B Common Stock: 3.00 percent (per annum)

The dividends are payable in the form of Class B Common Stock and will be credited to your institution’s capital stock account on September 30, 2009. Any partial shares will be paid in cash and credited to your institution’s demand deposit account on that date as well.
