Dividend Outlook The above reflects forward-looking information based on management’s expectations regarding economic and market conditions and FHLBank’s financial condition and operating results. Refer to Cautionary-Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information on slide 3 of this presentation. For 2020, we anticipated maintaining similar dividend levels The combination of the sudden interest rate decline, an uncertain operating environment and lower net income has contributed to: Strong, yet lower, financial performance Lesser dividend capacity Lower Affordable Housing Program contributions and future availability 1Q payment of 6.25 percent annualized on activity stock, 3.00 percent annualized on membership stock, reflects the impact of these drivers We will continue to assess potential impact of the performance drivers throughout the year and communicate expectations Our desire is to maintain this dividend level through the October payment, subject to market conditions and FHLBank's results of operation
