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

On July 30, 2010, Miriam Lopez, who was previously elected as a director of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("Bank") to fill a member directorship designated for the State of Florida, resigned from her position with TransAtlantic Bank. The resignation resulted in a vacancy of the director seat under Federal Housing Finance Agency ("Finance Agency") regulations. On July 31, 2010, Ms. Lopez was appointed president and director of Marquis Bank in North Miami Beach, Florida and thereby became eligible again to serve on the Bank's board of directors. On August 3, 2010, the board of directors elected Ms. Lopez to fill the vacant member directorship designated for the State of Florida. Ms. Lopez's term on the board of directors will continue through December 31, 2010. Ms. Lopez will serve on the housing and community investment committee and as vice chair of the credit and member services committee.

The Bank is a cooperative and conducts business primarily with its members, who are required to own capital stock in the Bank as a prerequisite to transacting certain business with the Bank. Subject to the Federal Home Loan Bank Act and Finance Agency regulations, the Bank also issues consolidated obligations through the Office of Finance, maintains a portfolio of short-term and long-term investments, enters into derivative transactions, and provides certain cash management and other services; in each case, with members, housing associates or other third parties of which directors may serve as officers or directors. All such transactions are made in the ordinary course of the Bank's business and are subject to the same Bank policies as transactions with the Bank's members, housing associates and third parties generally.

The Bank will compensate Ms. Lopez in accordance with the Bank's Directors' Compensation Policy. She will also be entitled to participate in the Bank's Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan, under which each Bank director has the opportunity to defer all or a portion of the amount of his or her compensation.

[FHLBank Atlanta Letterhead]

August 5, 2010

[member address]

Dear [member],

The Board of Directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLBank Atlanta) has elected Miriam Lopez to fill a vacant member directorship designated for the State of Florida. The vacancy resulted when Director Lopez's prior employment with TransAtlantic Bank ended. She subsequently was appointed as president and director of Marquis Bank in North Miami Beach, Florida (FHFA ID No. 54419) and thereby became eligible again to serve on the board. Director Lopez's term as the member director representing Florida ends December 31, 2010.

The filling of the vacancy is unrelated to FHLBank Atlanta's ongoing election to fill the Florida member directorship with a term beginning on January 1, 2011.

Very truly yours,

Jill Spencer

Interim President and Chief Executive Officer
