Dividend Outlook The above reflects forward-looking information based on management’s expectations regarding economic and market conditions and FHLBank’s financial condition and operating results. Refer to Cautionary-Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information on slide 3 of this presentation. The combination of sustained lower interest rates, an uncertain operating environment and lower net income has contributed to: Strong, yet lower, financial performance Same dividend as first quarter Lower future Affordable Housing Program (AHP) contributions Our desire is to maintain this dividend level through the October payment, subject to market conditions and FHLBank's results of operation We will continue to assess the potential impact of performance drivers throughout the remainder of the year and communicate dividend expectations Q4 2020 dividend, which has historically been paid in February of the following year, will likely be lower, subject to market and business conditions
