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

On November 4, 2016, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (FHLBank) announced that three individuals were deemed elected as member directors of FHLBank beginning January 1, 2017. At the time of such report, FHLBank had not yet received non-objection from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) for its 2017 Board of Directors Compensation Policy. On November 10, 2016, the FHFA informed FHLBank of its non-objection to FHLBank’s 2017 Board of Directors Compensation Policy.

FHLBank will compensate its directors pursuant to FHLBank’s 2017 Board of Directors Compensation Policy, which will become effective on January 1, 2017. The purpose of the Board of Directors Compensation Policy is to provide directors reasonable compensation for their time and effort exerted in performing their duties as directors of FHLBank.

FHLBank directors will be compensated for their time while serving as directors through the payment of fees that are intended to compensate directors for their time preparing for and attending board and committee meetings and fulfilling the other obligations of a director of FHLBank. The 2017 Board of Directors Compensation Policy establishes a Maximum Annual Compensation, which generally provides that a director (other than board chair, board vice chair, and committee chairs) may be paid a total of $100,000. The board chair is subject to a Maximum Annual Compensation of $130,000 and the board vice chair and those directors serving as committee chairs are subject to Maximum Annual Compensation of $110,000. In the event an individual serves as both vice chair and as a committee chair, that individual shall be entitled to an increase of $5,000 in his or her Maximum Annual Compensation. Directors will receive one quarter of the Maximum Annual Compensation following the end of each calendar quarter. Directors will also be entitled to reimbursement for all necessary and reasonable travel, subsistence and other related expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their official duties. Directors may realize the benefit of reasonable spousal or guest travel expenses that qualify as perquisites for one meeting per calendar year as designated by the chair of the board.

The foregoing description of the 2017 Board of Directors Compensation Policy is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the 2017 Board of Directors Compensation Policy attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
