Dairylea
(Continued from Page 1)
Dairylea’s new form of
capitalization comes in the
form of an investment. It is
not a loan. Known as “equity
credit,” the certificates
being purchased by mem
bers cany no date of
maturity and will bear no
interest. They may or may
not earn money, depending
on the state of business at
Dairylea.
For the past 58 years,
Dairylea has been financed
principally by Certificates of
Indebtedness which were
redeemed in 10 years from
date of issue and paid in
terest. Members did not
have any permanent capital
invested in the cooperative
which has annual sales in
excess of $350 million, but
which sustained annual
losses in recent years.
Last March, Dairylea
announced that it did not
have funds nor bank
financing available to
redeem the Certificates due
in April and that a new,
capital program was
olanned.
The plan, approved by
delegates representing the
co-op’s 5500 members,
provided that members
would be assigned a Base
Capital requirement figured
on each member’s 1977 milk
production. Members are
making this investment in
Dairylea by submitting their
Dairylea Certificates at face
value for equity credit, and
by buying up nonmember
owned Certificates at an
offering price of 53 cents per
dollar of face amount. These
purchased Certificates are

Irwin, noting that solar

equity credit at full face
value.
During the five months
that this plan was in
progress, members sub
mitted for equity credit or
committed' to purchase
Certificates with a total face
value of $2O million, which is
over 70 per cent of the ap
proximately $29 million of
Certificates that were
outstanding.
“This wonderful response
of members means that
Dairylea will moye from a
negative equity of $lO million
to $ll million in positive
equity.
“It means that, for the
first time, members not only
control this organization, as
they always have, but have a
very substantial ownership
investment,” said
Rutherford. At the discretion
of the Board of Directors,
members equity investments
can be paid back as funds
-become available.
Dairylea operates seven
