<P>Excess capital stock is defined as any stock holdings in excess of a member's minimum capital stock requirement, as established by the Bank's capital plan.

<P>The Bank's surplus capital stock repurchase policy provides for the Bank to repurchase excess stock that constitutes surplus stock, at the Bank's discretion, if a member has surplus capital stock as of the last business day of the quarter.

<P>On a quarterly basis, the Bank determines whether it will repurchase excess capital stock, including surplus capital stock. The Bank generally repurchases capital stock approximately one month after the end of each quarter.
