Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka 8-K

What Happened

• The Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (FHLBank) filed an 8‑K on January 20, 2026 reporting that, on trade date January 14, 2026, it committed to issue two consolidated obligation bonds (total par $20,000,000) for which it is the primary obligor. Settlement for both bonds is January 28, 2026. Consolidated obligations are the Federal Home Loan Banks’ primary debt funding and are joint and several obligations of all 11 Federal Home Loan Banks; they are backed by those Banks’ financial resources and are not guaranteed by the U.S. government.

Key Details

• Two bonds committed (trade date 01/14/2026; settlement 01/28/2026) — total bank par: $20,000,000 (two $10,000,000 issues).
  • CUSIPs: 3130B95V8 (maturity 01/28/2036; coupon 4.84%; next call date 01/28/2027) and 3130B96K10 (maturity 01/28/2039; coupon 4.95%; next call date 01/28/2028).
• Both issues are fixed‑rate, American style callable bonds (Optional Principal Redemption); next scheduled interest payment date shown as 07/28/2026.
• Filing notes Schedule A excludes short-term discount notes (≤1 year), may not reflect GAAP amounts (par vs. premium/discount), and does not list related derivatives the Bank might use for asset/liability management.

Why It Matters

• This filing informs investors that the FHLBank increased its committed long‑term debt funding by $20 million via fixed‑rate, callable consolidated obligations, which affects the Bank’s future interest expense and maturity profile. Because these are joint obligations of the Federal Home Loan Banks and are not U.S. government guaranteed, investors should view them as backed by the network of FHLBanks’ resources rather than by the federal government. The Bank will report total consolidated obligations outstanding (including these if they remain outstanding) in its periodic SEC filings.
