• Filing notes: consolidated obligations are backed only by the 11 FHLBanks (joint & several); Schedule A excludes discount notes ≤1 year and does not reflect any related derivative agreements.

Why It Matters
This 8‑K informs investors about new borrowing commitments by the Topeka FHLBank that increase the bank’s share of the joint consolidated obligations used for funding. Because consolidated obligations are joint obligations of all Federal Home Loan Banks and are not government‑guaranteed, investors should watch the Bank’s periodic reports for the total consolidated obligations outstanding and for any related impact on liquidity or funding costs. The filing also cautions that Schedule A omits short‑term discount notes and possible related derivatives, so it does not show the full picture of funding activity or risk exposures.
