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

On June 19, 2020, the Board of Directors (Board) of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (FHLBank) elected Jeffrey R. Noordhoek, Chief Executive Officer of Nelnet, Inc., to fill the vacant Independent Director position, effective July 1, 2020. Mr. Noordhoek was elected to serve the remainder of the directorship made vacant by the death of Independent Director Andrew C. Hove, Jr., which expires December 31, 2021.

FHLBank’s Board elected Mr. Noordhoek in accordance with the rules of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), requiring the Board to elect a qualified Independent Director to fill the vacant position for the remainder of the term. Mr. Noordhoek will serve on the Audit committee and Operations committee of the Board. He will be compensated in accordance with FHLBank’s 2020 Board of Directors Compensation Policy and will also be permitted to defer compensation in accordance with the terms of FHLBank’s Benefit Equalization Plan.

Pursuant to the Bank Act and FHFA regulations, the majority of FHLBank’s directors, known as Member Directors, are elected by FHLBank’s membership in each state. The remaining directors, known as Independent Directors and which include Public Interest Directors, are elected through district-wide elections. In the normal course of its business, FHLBank extends credit to members whose officers or directors may serve as Member Directors of FHLBank. All loans extended by FHLBank to such members are on market terms that are no more favorable to them than the terms of comparable transactions with other members.

On June 24, 2020, FHLBank distributed a message to its members announcing the election of Mr. Noordhoek. A copy of the message to members is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

It may only be incorporated by reference in another filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933 if such subsequent filing specifically references this Current Report on Form 8-K. In addition, the furnishing of information in this Current Report on Form 8-K is not intended to, and does not, constitute a determination or admission by FHLBank that the information is material or complete.
