In the new role Mr. Stringham will serve as the Bank’s principal accounting officer. Jason Arbuckle will move into the role of Senior Director of Corporate Finance and Transformation.

Key Details

• Effective date: September 7, 2026. Announcement filed on September 9, 2026 (8-K dated September 4, 2026).
• Brian Stringham joined the Bank in 2003 and has been Assistant Corporate Controller and Director of External Financial Reporting since 2020, overseeing SEC and regulatory reporting.
• No reportable related-party relationships or transactions involving Mr. Stringham under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
• Compensation and benefits: Mr. Stringham will participate in the Bank’s executive compensation and benefit plans generally available to similarly situated officers; additional detail is in the Bank’s 2026 Proxy Statement.

Why It Matters
A change in the corporate controller means a new person will be responsible for the Bank’s accounting, SEC and regulatory reporting, and internal financial controls—areas important to investors assessing financial transparency and reporting quality. The filing notes continuity (Stringham’s long tenure and prior oversight of SEC reporting) and that the transition is an internal reassignment rather than an external hire, which may signal operational continuity in accounting and reporting functions.
