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

*Election of Directors*

On December 12, 2025, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston's (the Bank's) board of directors (the Board) declared three individuals elected in the Bank's 2025 election of directors (the Annual Director Election), with a term to begin January 1, 2026, and end December 31, 2029. The Board is constituted of member and independent directors who are elected by the Bank's members, as discussed under Item 10 — Directors, Executive Officers, and Corporate Governance of the Bank's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2025 (the 2024 Annual Report).

These elections took place in accordance with the rules governing the election of Federal Home Loan Bank directors specified in the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932 (the Act) and the related regulations (the Applicable Regulations) of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), the Bank's primary regulator. For a description of the Bank's director election process, see Item 10 — Directors, Executive Officers, and Corporate Governance of the 2024 Annual Report.

The Board declared the following individuals elected as member directors (the Member Directors-elect):

• David J. Rotatori, president and chief executive officer of Ion Bank in Naugatuck, Connecticut, elected to fill a member directorship designated for the State of Connecticut;

• William M. Parent, chief strategy officer of bankESB in Easthampton, Massachusetts, elected to fill a member directorship designated for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and

• M. Susan Elliott, director of Needham Bank in Needham, Massachusetts, elected to fill a member directorship designated for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Since Mr. Rotatori was the only nominee for the Connecticut member directorship, the Bank issued a Current Report on Form 8-K on August 29, 2025 (after the nomination period closed), announcing that Mr. Rotatori had been "deemed" elected, as provided in the Applicable Regulations.

The Board has not yet determined on which committees the Directors-elect will serve in 2026. The Bank expects to compensate the Directors-elect under the 2026 Director Compensation Policy, disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K on October 30, 2025.

Pursuant to the Applicable Regulations, the Bank's member directors serve as officers or directors of Bank members. The Bank is a cooperative and conducts business primarily with its members, which are required to own capital stock in the Bank as a prerequisite to transacting certain business with the Bank. Subject to the Act and the Applicable Regulations, the Bank may conduct business with members whose officers or directors serve on the Board, including:

• extending credit in the ordinary course of business to such members, on market terms that are no more favorable to such members than the terms of comparable transactions with other members;

• purchasing short- and long-term investments, at market rates, from such members or their affiliates;

------

• entering into interest-rate-exchange agreements on market terms with affiliates of such members as counterparties; and

• providing affordable housing benefits in conjunction with such members, or affiliates of such members, on terms and conditions that are no more favorable to such members than the terms and conditions of comparable transactions with other members.

All of the foregoing transactions are made in the ordinary course of the Bank's business and are subject to the same Bank policies as transactions with the Bank's members, housing associates, and third parties generally. For further information, see Item 13 — Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence of the 2024 Annual Report.

**Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.**

The Annual Director Election was conducted online. No in-person meeting of the members was held in connection with the Annual Director Election. The Board declared the results final on December 12, 2025, as described in Item 5.02 of this Current Report.

*Member Director Elections*
