Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(d) Election of Directors

On September 21, 2015, Mr. G. Bridger Cox, Chairman and President of Citizens Bank & Trust Company in Ardmore, Oklahoma, was deemed elected as a member director from the State of Oklahoma by FHLBank Topeka (FHLBank) for a four-year term commencing January 1, 2016, and expiring December 31, 2019. Also on September 21, 2015, Mr. Bruce A. Schriefer, a Director of Bankers’ Bank of Kansas, was deemed elected as a member director from the State of Kansas by FHLBank for a four-year term commencing January 1, 2016, and expiring December 31, 2019.

The member directorships are being filled without elections because only one nominee, Mr. Cox and Mr. Schriefer, accepted the nomination for the one member directorship up for election in Oklahoma and Kansas, respectively, in 2015. Messrs. Cox and Schriefer were deemed elected to FHLBank’s board of directors in accordance with the rules governing the election of Federal Home Loan Bank directors specified in the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (Bank Act), and the regulations of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA).

At the time of filing there has been no determination on which committees Messrs. Cox and Schriefer may serve in 2016.

Pursuant to the Bank Act and FHFA regulations, the majority of FHLBank’s directors, known as member directors, are elected by FHLBank’s membership in each state. The remaining directors, known as independent directors, are elected through district-wide elections. In the normal course of its business, FHLBank extends credit to members whose officers or directors may serve as member directors of FHLBank. All loans extended by FHLBank to such members are on market terms that are no more favorable to them than the terms of comparable transactions with other members.

FHLBank expects to compensate its directors in accordance with FHLBank’s 2016 Director Compensation Policy, which has not yet been adopted.
