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

On December 8, 2011, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (the "Bank") declared elected the following individuals in the Bank's 2011 election of directors:

• J. Thomas Johnson, an incumbent member director, was re-elected to fill the member directorship that the Federal Housing Finance Agency (the "Finance Agency") designated for the state of South Carolina;
• William C. Handorf and Henry Gary Pannell each was re-elected to fill separate non-public interest independent directorship positions (together with Mr. Johnson, the "Directors-elect").

Each of the Directors-elect will begin serving a four-year term on January 1, 2012. The Bank has not yet determined on which committees each of the foregoing Directors-elect will serve beginning in 2012. The Bank conducted the director elections in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act (the "Act") and the rules and regulations of the Finance Agency.

The Bank is a cooperative and conducts business primarily with its members, which are required to own capital stock in the Bank as a prerequisite to transacting certain business with the Bank. Subject to the 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. Pursuant to Finance Agency regulation, the Bank's member directors serve as officers or directors of a Bank member.

The Bank expects to compensate the Directors-elect in accordance with the Bank's Directors' Compensation Policy. They also will 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 compensation. The form and amount of any compensation to all directors, including the Directors-elect, is subject to approval by the board of directors of the Bank and subject to the Federal Home Loan Bank Act and Federal Housing Finance Agency regulations.
