Wyoming Statutes Title 17. Corporations, Partnerships and Associations § 17-10-110. Members and stock generally

(a) When a member of an association established without capital stock has paid his membership fee in full, he shall receive a certificate of membership.

(b) No association shall issue stock to a member until it has been fully paid for. The promissory notes of the members may be accepted by the association as full or partial payment. The association shall hold the stock as security for the payment of the note, but such retention of security shall not affect the members' right to vote.

(c) Except for debts lawfully contracted between him and the association, no member shall be liable for the debts of the association to an amount exceeding the sum remaining unpaid on his membership fee or his subscription to the capital stock, including any unpaid balance on any promissory notes given in payment thereof.

(d) No stockholder of a cooperative association shall hold more than twenty percent (20%) of the common stock of the association; and the association, in its bylaws, may limit the amount of common stock which one (1) member may own to any amount less than twenty percent (20%) of the common stock.

(e) No member or stockholder shall be entitled to more than one (1) vote.

(f) The bylaws shall prohibit the transfer of the common stock or membership of the association to persons not engaged in the production of the agricultural products handled by the association, and such restrictions must be printed upon every certificate of stock or membership certificate subject thereto.

(g) Any association organized with stock under this act may issue preferred stock, without the right to vote, and bearing a rate of interest not to exceed eight percent (8%). Such stock may be redeemable or retireable by the association on such terms and conditions as may be provided for by the certificate of incorporation and printed on the face of the certificate.
