Iowa Code Title XII. Business Entities [Chs. 486-504C] § 501A.1002. Restatement of value of previous contributions

Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

1. Definition. As used in this section, an “old contribution” is a contribution reflected in the required records of a cooperative before the time the cooperative accepts a new contribution.

2. Restatement required. Whenever a cooperative accepts a new contribution, the board shall restate, as required by this section, the value of all old contributions.

3. Restatement as to particular series or class to which new contribution pertains.

a. Unless otherwise provided in a cooperative's articles or bylaws, this subsection sets forth the method of restating the value of old contributions that pertain to the same series or class to which the new contribution pertains. In restating the value, the cooperative shall do all of the following:

(1) State the value the cooperative has accorded to the new contribution under section 501A.1001, subsection 3, paragraph “a”.

(2) Determine what percentage the value stated under subparagraph (1) will constitute, after the restatement required by this subsection, of the total value of all contributions that pertain to the particular series or class to which the new contribution pertains.

(3) Divide the value stated under subparagraph (1) by the percentage determined under subparagraph (2), yielding the total value, after the restatement required by this subsection, of all contributions pertaining to the particular series or class.

(4) Subtract the value stated under subparagraph (1) from the value determined under subparagraph (3), yielding the total value, after the restatement required by this subsection, of all the old contributions pertaining to the particular series or class.

(5) Subtract the value, as reflected in the required records before the restatement required by this subsection, of the old contributions from the value determined under subparagraph (4), yielding the value to be allocated among and added to the old contributions pertaining to the particular series or class.

(6) Allocate the value determined under subparagraph (5) proportionally among the old contributions pertaining to the particular series or class, add the allocated values to those old contributions, and change the required records accordingly.

b. The values determined under paragraph “a”, subparagraph (5), and allocated and added under paragraph “a”, subparagraph (6), may be positive, negative, or zero.

4. Restatement method for other series or class. Unless otherwise provided in a cooperative's articles or bylaws, this subsection sets forth the method of restating the value of old contributions that do not pertain to the same series or class to which the new contribution pertains. In restating the value, the cooperative shall do all of the following:

a. Determine the percentage by which the restatement under subsection 3 has changed the total contribution value reflected in the required records for the series or class to which the new contribution pertains.

b. As to each old contribution that does not pertain to the same series or class to which the new contribution pertains, change the value reflected in the required records by the percentage determined under paragraph “a”. The percentage determined under paragraph “a” may be positive, negative, or zero.

5. New contributions may be aggregated. If a cooperative accepts more than one contribution pertaining to the same series or class at the same time, then for the purpose of the restatement required by this section, the cooperative may consider all the new contributions a single contribution.
