Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Prior to each year’s election of directors for the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (“FHLBank”), the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) is required to designate the number of member directorships for the following year for each state in FHLBank’s district, and the number of independent directorships for the following year.

Pursuant to the FHFA’s designation, three existing directorships are to be eliminated as of December 31, 2025.
