Investor Shareholders are investing in the Cooperative because they believe in the Cooperatives Mission and Goals. Currently CHPC Investor Shares are $1000 per share. However, once excess revenue distributions have been allocated, 50% of the distributed excess revenues will be returned to the Patron Shareholders and the other 50% will go to paying back the Investor Shareholders their full investment. Once their full investment has been paid back, their Investor Share(s) will convert to Patron Share(s) with the full Statutory pro rata excess revenue distributions accorded to all Patron Shareholders. This conversion will be each Investor Share will convert to one Patron Share. So, in essence, Investor Shareholders get a fairly rapid repayment of their Investment in addition to a Return On Investment (ROI) of 10% (the cost of their Patron Share(s)) plus pro rata excess revenue distributions in perpetuity. Per LCA Statutes, all Investor Shareholders get one (1) vote in all Shareholder voting issues regardless of how many shares they own.
