The Bank may redeem the 2028 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to September 8, 2027 (the date that is one year prior to the Maturity Date), at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

 

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

 

Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Bank in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

 

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Bank after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Bank shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Maturity Date of the 2028 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury

constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Maturity Date of the 2028 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

 

If on the third business day preceding the redemption date, H.15 or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, the Bank shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Maturity Date of the 2028 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Maturity Date of the 2028 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Maturity Date of the 2028 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes, one with a maturity date preceding the Maturity Date of the 2028 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes and one with a maturity date following the Maturity Date of the 2028 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes, the Bank shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Maturity Date of the 2028 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Maturity Date of the 2028 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Bank shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

The Bank will provide written notice to the registered holders of the 2028 Fixed-to-Floating Rate Notes of any redemption not more than 30 nor less than 5 calendar days prior to the redemption date.

Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle no later than one business day after the trade date, unless the parties to such trade expressly agree otherwise at the time of the trade. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade on any date more than one business day prior to delivery of the notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in five business days (T+5), to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
