I.   Purpose

  A.   General. This Capital Plan is being implemented to comply with the provisions of the Bank Act and Capital Regulation.

  1.   Effective Date. The Capital Plan will become effective on the Recalculation/Conversion Date, which shall be the date stated in a Notice to Members. Unless directed otherwise by the Finance Board, the Recalculation/Conversion Date shall not be greater than 18 months after the Finance Board approves the Capital Plan nor less than sixty (60) days after the date of the Notice to Members.
 
  2.   Capitalized Terms. All capitalized terms used but not defined elsewhere in the Capital Plan shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in Section VI.

II.   Stock Investment

  A.   General. Adequate capitalization is required to: (a) provide for the safe and sound operation of the Bank; (b) permit prudent leveraging into products and services of benefit to Members and Housing Associates; (c) provide appropriate risk-adjusted Member dividend returns; (d) protect creditors of the Bank and the Bank System against loss; (e) generate earnings sufficient to meet the Bank’s various community support and public purpose obligations; and (f) comply with prevailing Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements. Towards these objectives, this Capital Plan requires Members to make certain Minimum Member Stock Investments in the Bank.
 
  B.   Minimum Amount

  1.   General. The need for capital is in great part a function of the volumes of and risks inherent in the products and services provided by the Bank to its Members, including the potential for Members to borrow from the Bank. Therefore, the Capital Stock of the Bank should be contributed in general proportion to the distribution of such products and services to its Members, including their potential borrowing activities. Each Member must purchase and maintain a minimum investment in the Capital Stock of the Bank in an amount determined in accordance with the requirements of this Capital Plan.
 
  2.   Minimum Member Stock Investment. Each Member is required to maintain a Minimum Member Stock Investment, both as a condition to becoming and remaining a Member and as a condition to obtaining Loans from the Bank, access to the Bank’s credit products through its Unused Borrowing Capacity, and to support Acquired Member Assets with the Bank. The total amount of the required minimum investment of all Members shall be sufficient to ensure that the Bank stays in compliance with the Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements under the Capital Regulation. The Board of Directors will monitor and, as necessary, adjust

Page 3 of 16


 

      the minimum investment to provide for Capital Stock purchases and maintenance by all Members sufficient to allow the Bank to remain in compliance with its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements.

  a)   Member Loan Stock Purchase Requirement. Each Member is required to purchase and hold Capital Stock in an amount equal to the Bank’s Member Loan Stock Purchase Percentage multiplied by all the Loans extended from the Bank to that Member. The Member Loan Stock Purchase Requirement will be calculated at the time each Loan is Transacted. The Member Loan Stock Purchase Percentage is set forth on Schedule A. From time to time, upon approval by the Board of Directors, the Member Loan Stock Purchase Percentage may be adjusted to as high as six percent (6.0%) or to as low as four and one half percent (4.5%). Changes outside this range would constitute an amendment to this Capital Plan that would require Finance Board approval. An adjustment in the Member Loan Stock Purchase Percentage may be applied in either of the following manners:

  (1)   A change in the Member Loan Stock Purchase Percentage may be applied prospectively, affecting only Loans Transacted subsequent to the change in the Member Loan Stock Purchase Percentage, or
 
  (2)   A change in the Member Loan Stock Purchase Percentage may be applied retrospectively, in which case the new Member Loan Stock Purchase Percentage would be applied both to the Member Loans outstanding at the time of such change and to any Loans Transacted subsequent to such change. If a change in Member Loan Stock Purchase Requirement is made retrospectively, the Board of Directors may choose to either:

  (i)   apply the new Member Loan Stock Purchase Percentage to all Member Loans outstanding at the time of such change, or
 
  (ii)   apply the new Member Loan Stock Purchase Percentage only to Member Loans which do not include a Principal Prepayment Fee.

  b)   Unused Borrowing Capacity Stock Purchase Requirement. Each Member is required to purchase and hold Capital Stock in an amount equal to the Bank’s Unused Borrowing Capacity Percentage multiplied by the principal amount of Unused Borrowing Capacity of that Member. The amount of Unused Borrowing Capacity shall be calculated no later than April 10 th of each year and at the time each Loan is Transacted. The Unused Borrowing Capacity Percentage is set forth on Schedule A. From time to time, upon approval by the Board of Directors, the Unused Borrowing Capacity Percentage may be adjusted to as high as one and one-half percent (1.5%) or to as low as zero percent (0%).

Page 4 of 16


 

      Changes outside this range would constitute an amendment to this Capital Plan, which would require Finance Board approval. An adjustment in the Unused Borrowing Capacity Percentage will be applied to the principal amount of Unused Borrowing Capacity for all future calculations. From time-to-time, in the discretion of the Board, the amount any one Member would have to purchase under the Unused Borrowing Capacity Stock Purchase Requirement may be subject to a cap of no less than $10 million.
 
  c)   Acquired Member Asset Purchase Requirement. Each Member is required to purchase and hold Capital Stock in an amount equal to the Bank’s Acquired Member Asset Purchase Percentage multiplied by the amount of Acquired Member Assets delivered by that Member and held by the Bank at the time the transaction occurs (in the Bank’s discretion, it may recalculate the member’s Acquired Member Asset Purchase Requirement from time-to-time to capture any reductions in the amount of Acquired Member Assets then being held by the Bank). The Acquired Member Asset Purchase Percentage is set forth on Schedule A. From time to time, upon approval by the Board of Directors, the Acquired Member Asset Purchase Percentage may be adjusted to as high as four percent (4.0%) or to as low as zero percent (0.0%). Changes outside this range would constitute an amendment to this Capital Plan that would require Finance Board approval. Adjustments made to the Bank’s Acquired Member Assets Purchase Percentage, if any, shall be applied in accordance with the following:

  (1)   Any increase in Acquired Member Asset Purchase Percentage shall be applied only on a prospective basis, i.e., affecting only master commitments entered into between a Member and the Bank subsequent to such increase in the Acquired Member Asset Purchase Percentage.

  (a)   Any Acquired Member Assets delivered to the Bank under a master commitment made prior to an increase in Acquired Member Asset Purchase Percentage shall be subject to the lower Acquired Member Asset Purchase Percentage, if any, that had been in effect at the time that master commitment was originally accepted by the Bank.

  (2)   Any decrease in Acquired Member Asset Purchase Percentage may, in the sole discretion of the Bank, be applied either retrospectively, affecting all Acquired Member Assets previously delivered and held by the Bank or to be delivered under existing master commitments, or prospectively, affecting only master commitments entered into subsequent to such decrease in the Acquired Member Asset Purchase Percentage.

  3.   Excess Stock Investment. A Member may hold Excess Stock to the extent it has the legal authority under applicable statutes and regulations, subject to the following:

  a)   Repurchase. With Notice to Members of at least one (1) Business Day, the Bank, in its sole discretion, may elect to Repurchase Excess Stock shares at any time. The Bank will Repurchase Excess Stock from all Members on a pro rata basis (provided, however, in the event a Member has given Written Notice of its intent to redeem Excess Stock the Bank may, in its sole discretion, Repurchase the Excess Stock of that Member as set forth below). The effect of Repurchasing Capital Stock by the Bank is to retire such shares. The one (1) Business Day Notice to Members does not apply to the repurchase of Capital Stock on the Recalculation/Conversion Date.
 
  b)   Redemption. A Member may, at its discretion, request a Redemption of Capital Stock by providing Written Notice. A Member may request a Redemption of some or all of its Capital Stock in accordance with the Redemption terms of this Capital Plan. The 5-year Redemption period commences upon the receipt of the Written Notice that specifies the number of shares to be redeemed. Following Written Notice of a Member’s intent to redeem shares, but prior to actual Redemption, the Bank may, in its sole discretion, elect to Repurchase those Excess Stock shares for which it has already received a Redemption request. In the event that multiple Redemption requests are pending, the Bank may, in its sole discretion, elect to Repurchase Excess Stock on a prorated basis or according to the order in which the Redemption requests were received by the Bank, or according to another allocation method as necessary to maintain ongoing compliance with the Bank’s Capital Regulations. The effect of Redeeming Excess Stock shares by the Bank is to retire such shares. A request by a Member (whose Membership has not been terminated) to redeem Capital Stock shall automatically be cancelled if the Bank is prevented from redeeming the Member’s Capital Stock because such redemption would cause the Member to fail to meet its Minimum Member Stock Investment. The effective date of the automatic cancellation shall be five (5) business days after the expiration of the applicable redemption notice period.
 
  c)   Limitation on Repurchase and Redemption. The Repurchase and Redemption of Capital Stock will be subject to the applicable restrictions set forth in 12 C.F.R. sections 931.7 and 931.8. A Member’s right to the Repurchase or Redemption of its Excess Stock may be impaired by these regulatory requirements if the Bank has used the Member’s Excess Stock to provide the necessary capital support for its investments and other assets.

  C.   Adjustments to Minimum Amount

  1.   Member Acceptance. Each Member is required to comply with any changes adopted in the Bank’s Capital Plan, including any adjustments made by the Board of Directors that may lead to an increase in a Member’s Minimum Member Stock Investment. In order to effectuate the sale of additional Capital Stock required due to such changes in terms, the Bank is authorized to issue Capital Stock in the name of a Member and to withdraw appropriate payment from the Member’s Demand Deposit Account.
 
  2.   Prior Notice. The Bank shall provide at least fifteen (15) days Notice to Members prior to implementing any adjustment to the Member Loan Stock Purchase Percentage, Unused Borrowing Capacity Percentage, or Acquired Member Asset Purchase Percentage if doing so affects the total Minimum Member Stock Investment of the Member. The Bank shall implement the adjustments on the date stated in the Notice to Members.

III.   Transition Rule

  A.   Manner of conversion. The following steps shall be taken to implement the Bank’s Capital Plan:

  1.   Stock Conversion. On the Recalculation/Conversion Date, each currently outstanding share of Bank stock shall be converted into one share of Capital Stock.
 
  2.   Recalculation of Minimum Member Stock Purchase Requirement. On the Recalculation/Conversion Date, immediately following the conversion of currently outstanding Bank stock into Capital Stock, each Member’s Minimum Member Stock Investment will be recalculated by the Bank.
 
  3.   Identify each Member’s excess/deficient stock positions. On the Recalculation/Conversion Date, after recalculating each Member’s Minimum Member Stock Investment, each Member’s Recalculated Stock Excess/(Shortfall) shall be determined by the Bank.
 
  4.   Adjust each Member’s stock holdings. Each Member’s holdings of Capital Stock will be adjusted on the Recalculation/Conversion Date as follows:

  a)   Recalculated Stock Excess. If a Member has a Recalculated Stock Excess position, the Bank will Repurchase at par a sufficient number of shares of Capital Stock to eliminate the Member’s Excess Stock position (subject to the Bank remaining in compliance with its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement). Proceeds from the share Repurchase will be credited to the Member’s Demand Deposit Account with the Bank.

Page 7 of 16


 

  b)   Recalculated Stock Shortfall. If a Member has a Recalculated Stock Shortfall, the Bank will issue at par a sufficient number of shares of Capital Stock to eliminate the Member’s Recalculated Stock Shortfall position. Proceeds for the share issuance will be debited from the Member’s Demand Deposit Account with the Bank.

  B.   Right to opt out of Capital Plan. Each Member retains the right to opt-out of the conversion as contained herein by providing the Finance Board with written notice of its intent to withdraw its Membership from the Bank prior to the Recalculation/Conversion Date. The written notice of its intent to withdraw must be filed with the Finance Board prior to the Opt-Out Date, which Opt-Out Date will be set forth in the Notice to Members setting forth the Recalculation/Conversion Date. The Opt-Out Date shall be 30 days prior to the Recalculation/Conversion Date.
 
  C.   Effects of Opting Out of the Conversion. The Membership of a Member that opts-out of the conversion according to this Plan shall terminate at the earlier of: (1) six months from the date that the written notice of withdrawal was filed with the Finance Board; or (2) the effective date of this Capital Plan. On the date the Membership is terminated, all outstanding indebtedness of the Member to the Bank shall become immediately due and payable. The Bank shall cancel each currently outstanding share of Bank stock on the date the Membership terminates provided that the Bank, after such cancellation, shall remain in full compliance with the Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement. Any Member that provides the Finance Board with written notice of its intent to withdraw after the Opt-Out Date but before the effective date of the Capital Plan shall have its existing stock converted into Capital Stock on the Recalculation/Conversion Date and the written notice shall commence the applicable five (5) year waiting period to redeem the Capital Stock.
 
  D.   Failure of a Member to affirm election to convert. The failure to provide the written notice as set forth in Section III. B above shall be deemed by the Bank as acceptance of the terms of conversion and of the terms of this Capital Plan.
 
  E.   Timetable for transition and full capital compliance. Immediately following the Recalculation/Conversion Date, it is anticipated that the Bank will be in full compliance with the Capital Regulation.

IV.   Par Value, Rights, Terms, and Preferences of Capital Stock

  A.   Par Value. The par value of Capital Stock shall be $100. The Capital Stock shall be issued, redeemed and repurchased at par value.
 
  B.   Ownership. The retained earnings, surplus, undivided profits and equity reserves, if any, of the Bank are owned by the holders of Capital Stock proportionate to their ownership of all outstanding shares of Capital Stock. The holders of Capital Stock shall have no right to receive any portion of these items, however, except through the declaration of a dividend or capital distribution approved by the Board of Directors or through liquidation of the Bank.

Page 8 of 16


 

  C.   Limitations.The Bank may only issue Capital Stock in accordance with this Capital Plan and the Capital Regulations. The Bank may only issue Capital Stock to Members and only Members may hold Capital Stock.
 
  D.   Dividends. Dividends are to be declared and paid on Capital Stock from time to time as determined by the Bank’s Board of Directors, and are non-cumulative with respect to payment obligation and are not to exceed the sum of current net earnings plus net earnings previously retained by the Bank. The Board of Directors may declare and pay dividends on Capital Stock provided the Bank’s capital position is not below its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement nor will it be below its Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirement subsequent to the payment of the dividend.
 
  E.   Redemption.Capital Stock shares are redeemable for cash at par value following five (5) years prior Written Notice, however, a Member may not have pending at any one time more than one Redemption request for the same share of Capital Stock.
 
  F.   Cancellation of Redemption . In the event a Member, having previously notified the Bank in writing of its intent to redeem some or all of its Capital Stock, wishes to cancel its Redemption request before the completion of the five (5) year notification period, it may elect to do so by providing Written Notice to the Bank of its intent to cancel its Redemption request. The Bank will impose a Redemption Cancellation Fee on the Member that either voluntarily or involuntarily cancels its Redemption request; provided, however, the Bank may waive the fee for a bona fide business purpose consistent with section 7(j) of the Bank Act. The Redemption Cancellation Fee is the fee in effect at the time the Member provides Written Notice of cancellation. The Member has ten (10) business days from the date the Bank sends the Notice to Member of the amount of the Cancellation Fee to provide Written Notice of its intent to revoke the cancellation and to proceed with the Redemption of the Capital Stock it previously sought to redeem according to the original Redemption timetable, thereby avoiding the Redemption Cancellation Fee. The Redemption Cancellation Fee is calculated by taking the percentage set forth on Schedule A and multiplying it against the par value of the Capital Stock subject to the notice of Redemption. The Redemption Cancellation Fee percentage may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board of Directors to as high as five percent (5%) and to as low as zero percent (0%).
 
  G.   Limited Transferability. A Member may only transfer any Excess Stock of the Bank it holds to another Member of the Bank or to an institution that has been approved for Membership in the Bank and that has satisfied all conditions for becoming a Member, other than the purchase of the minimum amount of Capital Stock that it is required to hold as a condition of Membership. Any such Capital Stock transfers shall be at par value and shall be effective upon being recorded on the appropriate books and records of the Bank. Capital Stock may only be traded between the Bank and its Members.
 
  H.   Termination of Membership.The following terms pertain to the termination of a Member’s Membership in the Bank.

Page 9 of 16


 

  1.   Voluntary Withdrawal.

  a)   A Member may withdraw from Membership by providing the Bank Written Notice of its intent to withdraw. A Member may cancel its notice of withdrawal at any time prior to its effective date by providing the Bank Written Notice of such cancellation. The Bank will impose a fee on a Member that cancels a notice of withdrawal; provided, however, the Bank may waive the fee for a bona fide business purpose consistent with section 7(j) of the Bank Act. The Withdrawal Cancellation Fee is the fee in effect at the time the Member provides Written Notice of cancellation. The Member has ten (10) business days from the date the Bank sends the Notice to Member of the amount of the Membership Withdrawal Cancellation Fee to provide Written Notice of its intent to revoke the cancellation, thereby avoiding the Membership Withdrawal Cancellation Fee. The Membership Withdrawal Cancellation Fee is calculated by taking the percentage set forth on Schedule A and multiplying it against the par value of the Capital Stock held by the Member. The Membership Withdrawal Cancellation Fee percentage may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board of Directors to as high as five percent (5%) and to as low as zero percent (0%).
 
  b)   The Membership of a Member that has submitted a Written Notice of withdrawal shall terminate as of the date on which the last of the applicable Capital Stock Redemption periods ends for the Capital Stock comprising the Member’s Membership Stock Purchase Requirement, as of the date the Written Notice of withdrawal is submitted, unless the Member has cancelled its notice of withdrawal prior to that date.
 
  c)   The receipt by the Bank of Written Notice of withdrawal shall commence the 5-year Redemption period for the Capital Stock held by the Member that is not already subject to a pending request for Redemption. In the case of a Member whose Membership has been terminated as a result of a merger or other consolidation into a non-member or a member of another Home Loan Bank, the Redemption period for any Capital Stock that is not already subject to a pending request for Redemption shall be deemed to commence on the date on which the charter of the former Member is cancelled.
 
  d)   No Member may withdraw from Membership unless, on the date the Membership is terminated, there is in effect a certification from the Finance Board that the withdrawal of a Member will not cause the Bank System to fail to satisfy its Refcorp Obligations.

  2.   Involuntary Terminations. The Board of Directors of the Bank has the right to terminate the Membership of any Member that: 1) fails to comply with any requirement of the Bank Act, Finance Board Regulations, or the Capital Plan; 2) becomes insolvent or otherwise subject to the appointment

Page 10 of 16


 

      of a conservator, receiver or other legal custodian under federal or state law; or 3) would jeopardize the safety and soundness of the Bank if it were to remain a Member.

  a)   The 5-year Redemption period for all the Capital Stock owned by the Member and not already subject to a pending request for Redemption shall commence on the date the Bank terminates the Member’s Membership.

  3.   Liquidation of Capital Stock. If an institution ceases to be a Member of the Bank for any reason, the Bank shall require the institution to continue to hold the Capital Stock necessary to support the Loans outstanding and/or Acquired Member Assets under the terms of the Capital Plan in effect at that time. Upon the repayment of outstanding indebtedness to the Bank, including any Principal Prepayment Fees and settlement of the Member’s risk sharing obligations under any Acquired Member Asset program, the Capital Stock that was necessary to support the Loan and/or Acquired Member Asset program shall become Excess Stock subject to Repurchase by the Bank in its discretion.
 
  4.   Liquidation of Indebtedness. The Bank will liquidate the indebtedness of any institution that ceases to be a Member in an orderly manner according to a schedule established by the Bank in its sole discretion. The Bank may require the immediate repayment of all indebtedness, in which case the Member shall be subject to any applicable Principal Prepayment Fees. In the alternative, and in the Bank’s sole discretion, the Bank may allow the institution to continue to hold on to any indebtedness for any length of period up to and including maturity.

  I.   Voting rights. The voting rights associated with Capital Stock are defined herein. The voting rights associated with the election of directors are governed by Part 915 of the Rules and Regulations of the Finance Board. There shall be no voting preferences for any share of Capital Stock.
 
  J.   Rights in Bank Merger. In the event the Bank merges with or consolidates into another Home Loan Bank, the Member will be entitled to the rights and benefits set forth in the agreement of merger approved by the Board of Directors of each Home Loan Bank and the Finance Board.
 
  K.   Rights in Bank Liquidation. In the event the Bank is liquidated, the Member will be entitled to the rights and benefits granted to it by the Finance Board and/or Congress.

      Unused Borrowing Capacity Percentage means the percentage set by the Board of Directors from time to time that determines how much Capital Stock a Member must purchase in relation to its Unused Borrowing Capacity.
 
      Unused Borrowing Capacity Stock Purchase Requirement serves as the Membership Stock Purchase Requirement based upon a Member’s Unused Borrowing Capacity as specified in this Plan.
 
      Written Notice means a letter or other business writing, signed by an officer of the Member, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Bank’s Corporate Secretary at the Bank’s home office, currently 601 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 15219.

EXHIBIT A

general instructions for maximum borrowing capacity (MBC) calculation:

I)   The Bank will calculate MBC on a quarterly basis using regulatory data approximately 60 days after each quarter end (see schedules for regulatory line items used).
 
    The MBC used in determining annual Unused Borrowing Capacity Stock Purchase Requirement will be based on year-end December 31 regulatory data.
 
II)   MBC is based on the lower of total weighted (haircuted) qualifying collateral value or the level of residential housing finance assets (RHFA).
 
    To determine total weighted qualifying collateral value, specific asset balances (market and/or book value) within each qualifying collateral category are derived from regulatory data. Those balances are weighted by applicable haircut percentages, and are then aggregated to arrive at total collateral value, netting out assets pledged to other creditors or other borrowings secured by qualifying collateral.
 
    NOTE: The weighted value for other real estate-related collateral is limited by policy not to exceed a certain percentage of the final calculated MBC (“MBC Percentage”). The current MBC Percentage is set forth on Schedule A.
 
    The RHFA level is determined by adding balances that represent all residential mortgage loan and mortgage-related securities assets.
 
    example:
 
    total weighted qualifying collateral method:

                         
collateral category   balance     haircut     value  
1. treasury & agency securities
  $ 15,000       95%      $ 14,250  
2. agency mortgage backed securities
  $ 25,000       90%      $ 22,500  
3. non-agency mortgage backed securities
  $ 10,000       87%      $ 8,700  
4. single-family residential mortgages (net of past dues)
  $ 50,000       80%      $ 40,000  
5. multi-family residential mortgages (net of past dues)
  $ 7,000       65%      $ 4,550  
6. other real estate-related (value limited by MBC Percentage)
  $ 12,500       50%      $ 6,250  
7. minus securities pledged to other creditors or other
                  -$ 6,500  
 
                     
borrowings secured by qualifying collateral
    total collateral value        $ 89,750  
 
                     

note:     for Mortgage Partnership Finance (MPF) participants, the maximum credit enhancement amount is deducted from the total collateral value.

     RHFA method:

                         
collateral category   balance     haircut     value  
1. all residential mortgage loans
  $ 65,750       n/a     $ 65,750  
2. all mortgage-related securities
  $ 35,000       n/a     $ 35,000  
 
                       
      total RHFA value       $ 100,750  
 
                     
 
                       
calculated MBC (lesser of total collateral or RHFA value):
      $ 89,750  

III)   The Bank may further refine a member’s MBC due to the following:

  1.   collateral eligibility factors determined from on-site collateral audits.
 
  2.   documented pledging activity not found in regulatory data.
 
  3.   adjustments for affiliate collateral pledging.
