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

On January 22, 2020, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“Bank”) elected Andrew W. Hasley, President, Standard Bank, to fill the vacant Pennsylvania Member Director position. Mr. Hasley was elected to serve the remainder of former Pennsylvania Member Director James R. Biery’s term which expires on December 31, 2020.

The Bank’s Board selected Mr. Hasley in accordance with the rules of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, requiring the Board to select an officer or director of a Pennsylvania member of the Bank to fill the vacant position for the remainder of the term. Mr. Hasley will serve on the Affordable Housing, Products & Services Committee, the Audit Committee and the Enterprise Risk Management Committee.

Mr. Hasley will be compensated in accordance with the Bank’s 2020 Directors’ Compensation Policy (“Policy”). Directors serving on the Bank's Board in 2020 are eligible to receive compensation under the Policy up to the following amounts: (1) $147,500 for the Chair of the Board; (2) $125,000 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 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 of comparable transactions with similarly situated members having no Board representation.

Attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is a copy of the Bank’s press release regarding Mr. Hasley’s election to the Board. The information being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the information contained in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
