Discussion
The Cooperative's Capital Credits Policy outlines the process for both General Capital Credits Retirements and Special Capital Credits Retirements including the payment of capital credits to members, former members and deceased members' estates, and permits the discounting of capital credits.
This is an additional review and discussion of the Capital Credits distribution and payment by the Board of Directors. Pursuant to its Policy, the Cooperative will retire capital credits in a manner that permits the Cooperative to comply with all applicable laws, all restrictions imposed by its debt financing covenants, the Cooperative Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, is fair to the Cooperative's members and former members, and is reasonable to maintain a healthy financial state.
The Board may consider a Special Capital Credits Retirements (distribution and payments) to former members under the Policy in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000.
The Retirements (distribution and payment) of capital credits in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5,000,000 would consist of approximately 7% to the oldest outstanding year(s) with discounting and approximately 93% to the most recent year(s) with discounting as Special Capital Credit Retirements. The Retirements would consist of checks to any former members and deceased members' estates who are entitled to at least $10.00 by check in 2024.
