Dividend Announcement

FHLBNY Declares a 4.65% Dividend for the Fourth Quarter of 2015

I am pleased to announce that, on February 18, 2016, your Board of Directors (“Board”) approved a dividend for the fourth quarter of 2015 of 4.65% (annualized). The dollar amount of the dividend will be approximately $61.6 million. The cash dividend will be distributed on February 19, 2016.

At the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, we are focused on serving as a reliable partner for our members and enhancing the value of that membership. This reliability extends to our quarterly dividend. Throughout 2015, we provided a reasonable dividend to our members, totaling more than $225 million over the four quarters. A consistent and reliable dividend is another way in which we deliver member value, and the dividend also reflects the FHLBNY’s low-risk profile and conservative business strategy.

We will publish our 2015 audited financial results in its Form 10-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which is expected to be filed by March 21, 2016.

Sincerely,

José R. González
President and Chief Executive Officer
