The Schedule A in the filing shows trade dates of March 18–19, 2026 and commitments to issue multiple bond tranches with aggregate par of approximately $70 million, settlement dates March 24–30, 2026, and maturities ranging from 2028 to 2031.

• Trade dates: March 18–19, 2026; settlement dates: March 24–30, 2026.

• Disclosure notes: consolidated obligations are joint and several obligations of the 11 Federal Home Loan Banks and are not guaranteed by the U.S. government; Schedule A excludes discount notes ≤1 year and par amounts may differ from GAAP-reporting amounts.

Why It Matters

• This filing documents how FHLBank Topeka raises funding through consolidated obligations — a primary source of its wholesale funding — and records specific new debt commitments that affect its debt and liquidity profile.
• Investors should note consolidated obligations are backed only by the financial resources of the Federal Home Loan Banks (not the federal government) and that Schedule A does not reflect short-term discount notes or GAAP carrying amounts; the bank’s total outstanding consolidated obligations for which it is primary obligor will be reported in periodic filings.
