Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta's (the Bank) Form 10-K filed on March 5, 2020, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), the primary regulator of the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks), including the Bank, issued a Supervisory Letter to the FHLBanks providing among other things that, by March 31, 2020, the FHLBanks should cease entering into certain instruments referencing the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), that mature after December 31, 2021. Additionally, as disclosed in the 10-K, in accordance with the Supervisory Letter, the FHLBanks were required, by December 31, 2019, to stop purchasing investments that reference LIBOR and that mature after December 31, 2021.
On March 16, 2020, in light of market volatility, the FHFA extended to June 30, 2020 the FHLBanks’ ability to enter into instruments referencing LIBOR that mature after December 31, 2021, except for investments and option embedded products.
