 Non- NEO Executive Incentive Compensation Plan Targets
Goal Metrics, Metric Performance Ranges, Participant Eligibility and Metric Weights 

This document specifies goal metrics, metric performance ranges/objectives, and metric weights for the participants (Participants) in the Non-NEO Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (Plan).
 
The Plan targets contained in this document specifically cover the 2015 Base Performance Period (January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015) and the -2016-2018 Deferral Performance Period (January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018).

		
	A.
	2015 Base Performance Period 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 Regulatory Total Capital

Definition: The spread between (a) adjusted net income divided by daily average regulatory total capital and (b) the average daily Overnight Federal funds effective rate (Fed Effective).

Measure:
Adjusted net income is defined as follows:
		
	◦
	Net income calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)

		
	◦
	Plus recorded AHP assessments

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

		
	◦
	Plus dividends on redeemable Class A and Class B Common Stock treated as interest expense under ASC 450

		
	◦
	Minus prepayment fees

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

		
	◦
	Minus/plus gains/losses on mortgage loans held for sale

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

		
	◦
	Minus/plus any amortization/accretion of premium/discount on unswapped securities in the FHLBank’s trading portfolio and any investment that is tied to an economic swap where an upfront fee was not received (not amortized/accreted under GAAP)

		
	◦
	Less a calculated 10% AHP assessment

	Net Income after Capital Charge

Definition: The dollar amount of adjusted net income as defined in the above metric 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 regulatory Class B Common Stock times the average of 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 the average of three-month LIBOR for each day during the year.

	Minimum Requirement for Receiving a Final Deferred Incentive Award

	In order for Participants to be eligible to receive a Final Deferred Incentive Award for the 2016-2018 Deferral Performance Period, FHLBank must have a Market Value of Equity (MVE) of not less than 100 percent of FHLBank’s Total Regulatory Capital Stock (TRCS) outstanding (as defined in FHLBank’s Risk Management Policy), as of the last day of the Deferral Performance Period. Upon determining FHLBank has achieved this minimum requirement, the calculation of the Final Deferred Incentive Award amounts shall be measured by evaluating the following:

	Total Return. Total Return equals the Total Dividends, plus the Change in Retained Earnings, divided by the Average Total Regulatory Capital (TRC) over the three-year period. 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 12/31/2015 to 12/31/2018; and Average TRC is defined as the average daily ending balance of Regulatory Capital for dates starting with 01/01/2016 and ending 12/31/2018.  TRC is defined as total capital stock plus total retained earnings plus subordinated debt plus mandatorily redeemable capital stock. TRC will also include any additional capital from mergers that will be reported in the CRS statement of condition.  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 11 FHLBanks.

		
	2)
	MVE/TRC. Using amounts reported on the Trendbook Analysis from the FHFA Call Report System (CRS), MVE/TRC is calculated by dividing base case MVE by TRC (as defined above) calculated at the end of the Deferral Performance Period. For performance comparison purposes, FHLBank Topeka will be ranked against the other FHLBanks, with the highest MVE/TRC being the best performance, and ranking 1st out of the 11 FHLBanks.
