Section 499.65 - Objection of members - purchase of shares upon demand1. If a voting member or voting shareholder of a cooperative association which is a party to a merger or consolidation files with the cooperative association, prior to or at the meeting of members at which the plan is submitted to a vote, a written objection to the plan of merger or consolidation, and votes in opposition to the plan, and the member or shareholder, within twenty days after the merger or consolidation is approved by the other members, makes written demand on the surviving or new association for payment of the fair value of that member's or shareholder's interest as of the day prior to the date on which the vote was taken approving the merger or consolidation, the surviving or new association shall pay to the member or shareholder, upon surrender of that person's certificate of membership or shares of stock, the fair value of that person's interest as provided in section 499.66. A member or shareholder who fails to make demand within the twenty-day period is conclusively presumed to have consented to the merger or consolidation and is bound by its terms.2. In the event that a dissenting member or shareholder does business with the surviving or new association before payment has been made for that person's membership or stock, the dissenting member or shareholder is deemed to have consented to the merger or consolidation and to have waived all further rights as a dissenting member or shareholder.C71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, § 499.65 86 Acts, ch 1196, §7; 92 Acts, ch 1147, §2
