Country Partners Makes Large Equity Redemption To Membership

Country Partners Cooperative is pleased to announce a special equity redemption of $5.1 million in total of member equities. “Country Partners Coop’s board of directors has made it a priority to have a robust equity redemption plan. This large redemption on top of the last 5 year’s redemptions brings the total equities redeemed to just under $18.5 million” according to the cooperative’s CEO and General Manager E. Tod Clark. He also stated, “We owe our success to the loyal patronage of our member owners. Equity management, including equity redemption, is strictly at the Board of Directors’ discretion, and thus, can change depending upon the earnings and financial needs of the company. Anything that we do in terms of equity management takes solid financial earnings.”
