-FHLBNY soliciting nominations for four Director seats-

New York, NY – The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) is now formally soliciting nominations for candidates to serve on its Board of Directors (“Board”) for terms commencing on January 1, 2016, the FHLBNY announced in a letter sent to its members on Friday, June 26, 2015. In total, four Directorships will be up for election in 2015.

“Our Board is active and involved, and the knowledge and expertise our Directors bring is extremely valuable to our cooperative,” said José R. González, president and CEO of the FHLBNY. “Their guidance helps to position us as a reliable partner for our members, and as a result, I encourage all of our members to be involved in the election process.”

Two Member Directorships representing the FHLBNY’s New York members are up for election in 2015. Two Independent Directorships representing the whole District are also up for election.

The FHLBNY’s official Certificate of Nomination was included in materials sent to members on June 26, 2015. Eligible New York stockholders may, using the Certificate, nominate one person for each of the two open Member Directorships. Separately, those individuals interested in being nominated for the two open Independent Directorships must first submit an Independent Director Application Form to the Bank. A copy of the Application Form can be found here in the section entitled “About the FHLBNY’s 2015 Director Election”. All Certificates of Nomination and Independent Director Application Forms are due at the FHLBNY by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 28, 2015.

Any questions on the 2015 Director election process should be directed to Paul Friend, the FHLBNY’s general counsel, at generalcounsel@fhlbny.com.
