2014 and 2015 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan Targets
On December 18, 2015, the Board of Directors (Board) of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (FHLBank) adopted revisions to FHLBank’s 2014 and 2015 Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (EICP) Targets. Before becoming effective, the FHLBank must first receive notification from the Federal Housing Finance Agency of non-objection for the revisions to the EICP Targets, which was received on January 15, 2016. The EICP is a cash-based annual incentive plan with a long-term deferral component that establishes individual incentive compensation award opportunities related to achievement of performance objectives by FHLBank during each performance period as defined in the EICP and set forth in each EICP Targets document.
The amendments to the 2014 and 2015 EICP Targets documents include four key changes to the long-term Deferral Performance Period Metrics, and apply to the 2015-2017 Deferral Performance Period under the 2014 EICP Targets and the 2016-2018 Deferral Performance Period for the 2015 EICP Targets. First, the revisions approved by FHLBank’s Board take into account the recently completed merger of the FHLBanks of Seattle and Des Moines by changing the denominator for each of the Threshold, Target and Optimum metrics to reflect FHLBank is measured against 11 total FHLBanks, and changing the Target for each of the metrics from 6/12 FHLBanks to 5/11 FHLBanks. Second, the revisions approved by FHLBank’s Board revise the long-term performance metrics to reflect FHLBank’s focus on Total Regulatory Capital. This change included revising the calculation of the Total Return metric by replacing Average Capital with Total Regulatory Capital in the denominator and revising the Market Value of Equity ratio by replacing Total Regulatory Capital Stock with Total Regulatory Capital in the denominator. Third, FHLBank’s Board revised the threshold achievement level for each of the metrics by providing that if FHLBank’s performance is 10/11 or 11/11 compared to the other FHLBanks, Participants in the EICP would receive 75 percent of their Final Deferred Incentive Award for that metric. Finally, FHLBank’s Board established a Minimum Requirement for Receiving a Final Deferred Incentive Award that requires FHLBank to have a Market Value of Equity of not less than 100 percent of Total Regulatory Capital Stock outstanding, as of the last day of the Deferral Performance Period, in order for Participants to be eligible to receive a Final Deferred Incentive Award.
Total awards payable under the 2014 and 2015 EICP Targets are not determinable at this time.
A copy of the 2014 and 2015 EICP Targets are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
A description of the EICP and other compensation and benefits provided or made available to FHLBank’s Named Executive Officers may be found in "Item 11 – Executive Compensation" of FHLBank’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 13, 2015.

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 2014 Base Performance Period (January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014) and the 2015 2017 Deferral Performance Period (January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017).
A. | 2014 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 Regulatory Total Capital |
Definition: The spread between (a) adjusted net income divided by daily average regulatory total capital and (b) the average daily Overnight Federal funds effective rate (Fed Effective).
Measure:
|
||
|
||
Adjusted net income is defined as follows: |
| Net income calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) |
| Plus recorded AHP assessments |
| Excluding the impact or adjustment required because of Accounting Standards Codification 815 (ASC 815) |
| Plus dividends on redeemable Class A and Class B Common Stock treated as interest expense under ASC 450 |
| Minus prepayment fees |
| Minus/plus realized or unrealized gains/losses on securities (excludes any charges for other-than-temporary impairment of securities) |
| Minus/plus gains/losses on mortgage loans held for sale |
| Minus/plus gains/losses on early retirement of debt and related derivatives |

Definition: The dollar amount of adjusted net income as defined in the above metric which 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 all 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 all other capital (regulatory for Class A Common Stock and GAAP for retained earnings and other comprehensive income) times the average of three-month LIBOR for each day during the year.

Minimum Requirement for Receiving a Final Deferred Incentive Award
In order for Participants to be eligible to receive a Final Deferred Incentive Award for the
2015-2017 Deferral Performance Period, FHLBank must have a Market Value of Equity (MVE) of not
less than 100 percent of FHLBanks Total Regulatory Capital Stock (TRCS) outstanding (as
defined in FHLBanks Risk Management Policy), as of the last day of the Deferral Performance

period. Total Dividends is defined as all dividends paid on all capital stock during the
three-year period; Change in Retained Earnings is defined as the change in retained earnings
from 12/31/2014 to 12/31/2017; and Average TRC is defined as the average daily ending balance
of Regulatory Capital for dates starting with 01/01/2015 and ending 12/31/2017. TRC is defined

be reported in the CRS statement of condition. For performance comparison purposes, FHLBank
Topeka will be ranked against the other FHLBanks, with the highest total return being the best
performance, and ranking 1st out of the 11 FHLBanks.
2) MVE/TRC. Using amounts reported on the Trendbook Analysis from the FHFA Call Report System (CRS), MVE/TRC is calculated by dividing base case MVE by TRC (as defined above) calculated at the end of the Deferral Performance Period. For performance comparison purposes, FHLBank Topeka will be ranked against the other FHLBanks, with the highest MVE/TRC being the best performance, and ranking 1st out of the 11 FHLBanks.
