  1. How Do Oklahoma Cooperatives Manage Equity? Phil Kenkel Bill Fitzwater Cooperative Chair Oklahoma State University Advanced OCCD March 30, 2005

  2. How Do We Redeem Equity?

  3. Innovative Systems • Pool system with patrons over the trigger age receiving 20% of their balance for 5 years • All patrons receiving 2% of total equity • Several cooperatives set their redemption budget equal to their total amount of cash patronage

  4. Corporations and Trusts • Some cooperatives redeem when the principle owner is eligible • Some cooperatives only redeem equity when the trust/corporation is dissolved • Some allow equity to be transferred to children • Some redeem a portion of equity based on age and the percentage ownership in the corporation • Many cooperatives do not have a formal policy

  5. Membership Shares • Low = $10 • High = $1,000 • Average = $143 • Most allow patrons to earn their membership share

  6. Conclusions • Age of patron is the most common system followed by age of stock • Many cooperatives are currently only redeeming estates • Lots of variation in the details • Many managers indicated they were interested in looking at alternative systems
