Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On June 28, 2019, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“Bank”) approved the amended and restated Bylaws of the Bank (as amended and restated, the “Bylaws”), which became effective immediately upon their adoption.

The primary purpose of the amendments was to conform the Bylaws to the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (“Agency”) final rule on Indemnification Payments that became effective on November 5, 2018. The amendments to Bylaws establish restrictions on indemnification rights and payments arising from administrative proceedings or civil actions initiated by the Agency, prohibit the Bank from paying the premium for any insurance prohibited by any applicable statute or regulation, and conform the definitions of “Liabilities” and “Expenses” to the Agency regulation.

Various other changes to the Bylaws were made including provisions with respect to the size of the Board’s Executive/Governance Committee, name changes for various Board committees, and the maintenance of Board minutes.

The foregoing description of the amendments to the Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amended and restated Bylaws, a copy of which, marked to show changes from the prior version, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
