Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago Reports Q2 2026 Preliminary Results

What Happened

• The Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago announced preliminary, unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 via a press release dated July 22, 2026. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K filed on July 22, 2026.
• The filing is made under Item 2.02 (Results of Operations and Financial Condition) and Item 9.01 (Financial Statements and Exhibits). The Bank states the furnished information is not “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act and is therefore not subject to Section 18 liability or automatic incorporation by reference into other SEC filings.

Key Details

• Press release date: July 22, 2026; covers quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q2 2026).
• Exhibit included: 99.1 — press release with selected preliminary unaudited financial results.
• Disclosure includes forward-looking statements and related cautionary language about risks and uncertainties (economic conditions, regulatory changes, market liquidity, dividend and retained earnings considerations, cybersecurity, member demand, etc.).
• Form 8-K signed by Virxhini Gjonzeneli, Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, dated July 22, 2026.

Why It Matters

• Investors get early access to the Bank’s quarterly results (preliminary, unaudited), which can indicate near-term trends in earnings, dividends, and member activity ahead of final financial statements.
• Because the information is furnished (not “filed”), it carries different legal treatment under the securities laws; also, forward-looking statements are subject to risks listed in the filing and the Bank’s SEC reports, so actual outcomes may differ.
• Retail investors should watch for the full audited quarterly results, formal earnings release, and any subsequent updates that quantify the preliminary results and potential impacts on dividends, capital, or liquidity.
