The full text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this Report).\n\nThe information being furnished pursuant to Items 2.02 and 9.01 on this Report 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.\n\nThis Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements with respect to beliefs, plans, objectives, projections, estimates, or predictions. These statements are based on the Bank’s expectations as of the date hereof. The words “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “preliminary”, “continue”, “remain”, “commit”, and similar statements and their plural and negative forms are used to identify some, but not all, of such forward-looking statements. For example, statements about future dividends and expectations for financial commitments are forward-looking statements. The Bank cautions that, by their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: legislative and regulatory developments that affect the Bank, its members, or counterparties; instability in the credit and debt markets; economic conditions (including banking industry developments and liquidity in the financial system); prolonged inflation or recession; maintaining compliance with regulatory and statutory requirements (including relating to dividend payments and retained earnings); any decrease in levels of business which may negatively impact results of operations or financial condition; the reliability of projections, assumptions, and models on future financial performance and condition; political, national and world events (including geopolitical conflicts); changes in demand for advances or consolidated obligations; membership changes; changes in mortgage interest rates and prepayment speeds on mortgage assets; the Bank’s ability to execute its business model and pay future dividends (including enhanced dividends on activity stock); the Bank’s ability to protect the security of information systems and manage any failures, interruptions, or breaches in its technology, controls or operating processes; and the risk factors set forth in the Bank’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which are available through the SEC’s reporting website. The Bank assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made herein. In addition, the Bank reserves the right to change its business plan or plans for any programs for any reason, including but not limited to, legislative or regulatory changes, changes in membership or member usage of programs, or changes at the discretion of the board of directors. Accordingly, the Bank cautions that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements or could impact the extent to which a particular plan, objective, projection, estimate or prediction is realized. New factors may emerge, and it is not possible to predict the nature of each new factor or assess its potential impact. Given these uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements."}
