Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On November 16, 2021, the Governance and Public Policy Committee (“Governance Committee”) of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“Bank”) Board of Directors (“Board”), as authorized by the Bank’s Board, reviewed the results of the 2021 Election of Directors by stockholders of the Bank that concluded on November 10, 2021, to fill: (1) two Pennsylvania Member Directorships; (2) one Public Interest Independent Directorship; and (3) one Independent Directorship. There were no open West Virginia or Delaware Member Directorships during this election.
Following its review of the election results, the Governance Committee declared the following nominees elected to serve 4-year terms on the Board, beginning January 1, 2022, and ending December 31, 2025:
Pennsylvania Member Directors
Joseph W. Major, Chairman & CEO, The Victory Bank
Thomas Bailey, President & CEO, Brentwood Bank
Independent Directors
Barbara Adams (Public Interest Director), Director, FS KKR Capital Corp.
Thomas H. Murphy, CIO, University of Pennsylvania
Ms. Adams has met the qualifications set forth in 12 C.F.R. §1261.7 to serve as a Public Interest Independent Director. Mr. Murphy has met the qualifications set forth in 12 C.F.R. §1261.7 to serve as an Independent Director.
Attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is a press release issued by the Bank announcing the above results of the election. The election of the Member Directors, the non-member Public Interest Independent Director and the Independent Director took place in accordance with the terms of the Federal Home Loan Bank Act and Federal Housing Finance Agency (“Finance Agency”) Regulations. No in-person meeting of the members was held. The Board has not yet determined on which committees the Member Directors, the Public Interest Independent Director and the Independent Director will serve beginning in 2022. Directors serving on the Bank's Board in 2022 are eligible to receive compensation under the Bank's 2022 Directors’ Compensation Policy (“Policy”), when non-objection to the Policy is received from the Finance Agency, up to the following amounts: (1) $142,500 for the Chair of the Board; (2) $122,500 for the Vice Chair of the Board and for each Committee Chair; and (3) $112,500 for each of the other Directors.
The Bank is a cooperative and, as such, most of the Bank’s business is conducted with its members. In the normal course of its business, the Bank extends credit to, and transacts other business with, members whose officers or directors may serve as Member Directors of the Bank. It is the Bank’s policy to extend credit to, and transact other business with, members having directors or officers serving on the Bank’s Board on terms and conditions that are no more favorable than the terms and conditions of comparable transactions with similarly situated members having no Board representation. In addition, the Bank may have transactions with Independent Directors as well. For further information regarding such transactions, including information regarding related person transactions as defined in 17 C.F.R. §229.404(a), see Item 13 of the Bank’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
