DES MOINES, Iowa, July 17, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Federal Home

The stress test estimates the Bank's capital levels under hypothetical
severely adverse economic conditions.

These estimates should not be regarded as forecasts of actual financial
results. These results are modeled projections and may not reflect the
actual impact to the Bank if such a hypothetical scenario were to
occur.

Questions regarding the results of the stress test should be directed
to Megan Feld by calling 515.281.1159.
