Goal Metrics, Metric Performance Ranges, Participant Eligibility and Metric Weights







This document specifies goal metrics, metric performance ranges, metric weights and shareholder safeguard for the participants (Participants) in the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (Plan).








	
A.  

	
Total Base Opportunity Goal Metrics. The following goal metrics are assigned to the Participants under the Plan. All calculations including interest rates will be rounded to two decimal places.













	
1.  

	
 Adjusted Return Spread on Class B Common Stock













	
·  

	
Definition: The spread between Pre-ASC 815 (formerly referred to as SFAS 133), Pre AHP adjusted return available for Class B Common Stock (weighted by the amount Class B Common Stock outstanding each day) and the weighted average daily Overnight Federal funds effective rate (Fed Effective).













	
·  

	
Measure: Pre-ASC 815, AHP adjusted return available for Class B Common Stock (using core income as defined below), less earnings attributed to Class A Common Stock (defined as the sum of the daily amounts calculated by multiplying the outstanding Class A Common Stock times Fed Effective plus 0.84 percent for each day), relative to average Class B Common Stock outstanding for the period as a spread over the Fed Effective for the period.












Adjusted income is defined as follows:



	
o  

	
Net income calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)








	
o  

	
Plus AHP assessments








	
o  

	
Excluding the impact or adjustment required because of Accounting Standards Codification 815 (ASC 815)








	
o  

	
Plus dividends on redeemable Class A and Class B Common Stock treated as interest expense under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150








	
o  

	
Minus prepayment fees








	
o  

	
Minus/plus realized or unrealized gains/losses on securities (excludes any charges for other-than-temporary impairment of securities)








	
o  

	
Minus/plus gains/losses on early retirement of debt and related derivatives








	
o  

	
Minus/plus any amortization/accretion of premium/discount on unswapped mortgage-backed securities in the FHLBank’s trading portfolio (not amortized/accreted under GAAP)

2.

	
Net Income after Capital Charge













	
·  

	
Definition: The dollar amount of adjusted income as defined in the above metric, but Post-AHP assessment, which exceeds the cost of the required return on capital.













	
·  

	
Measure: Adjusted income as defined in the Net Income after Capital Charge Definition above, less required return on all capital. The required return on capital is the sum of the outstanding Class B Common Stock times three-month LIBOR plus 1.00 percent for each day during the year plus the sum of all other capital (regulatory for Class A Common Stock and GAAP for retained earnings and other comprehensive income) times three-month LIBOR for each day during the year.

Footnotes:


1)      Total Return.  Total Return equals the Total Dividends, plus the Change in Retained Earnings, divided by the Average Capital. For FHLBank Topeka: Total Dividends is defined as the sum of the actual dividends paid on required Class A Common Stock and all Class B Common Stock during the three-year Performance Period; Change in Retained Earnings is defined as the change in retained earnings from 12/31/12 to 12/31/15; and Average Capital is defined as the average daily ending balance of required Class A Common Stock and all Class B Common Stock for dates starting
with 01/01/13 and ending 12/31/15.   For the other FHLBanks, unless determined otherwise by the Compensation Committee: Total Dividends is defined as all dividends paid on all capital stock during the three-year period; Change in Retained Earnings is defined as the change in retained earnings from 12/31/12 to 12/31/15; and Average Capital is defined as the average daily ending balance of all capital stock outstanding for dates starting with 01/01/13 and ending 12/31/15.  For performance comparison purposes, FHLBank Topeka will be ranked against the other FHLBanks, with the highest total return being the best performance, and ranking 1st out of the 12 FHLBanks.


 


2)      Expense Growth.  Expense growth is the dollar amount of the change in operating expenses (including salaries and benefits, costs of quarters and other operating expenses) at FHLBank Topeka from calendar year 2012 to calendar year 2015.  For performance comparison purposes, FHLBank Topeka will be ranked against the other FHLBanks, with the lowest increase (or greatest decrease) being the best performance, and a 1st out of the 12 FHLBanks being the highest ranking.


 


3)      MVE/TRCS.  Using amounts reported on the Trendbook Analysis from the FHFA Call Report System (CRS), MVE/TRCS is calculated by dividing base case MVE by TRCS (TRCS calculated as Total Regulatory Capital minus Retained Earnings) calculated at the end of the Performance Period. For performance comparison purposes, FHLBank Topeka will be ranked against the other FHLBanks, with the highest MVE/TRCS being the best performance, and ranking 1st out of the 12 FHLBanks.
