Federal Act
on the Amendment of the Swiss Civil Code
(Part Five: The Code of Obligations)

¹ In­stead of or in ad­di­tion to such li­ab­il­ity, the art­icles of as­so­ci­ation may re­quire the mem­bers to make ad­di­tion­al con­tri­bu­tions, which may be used only to cov­er net losses for the year.

² The li­ab­il­ity to make ad­di­tion­al con­tri­bu­tions may be un­lim­ited or else lim­ited to spe­cified amounts or to a spe­cified pro­por­tion of the mem­ber’s con­tri­bu­tion or share in the co­oper­at­ive.

³ Where the art­icles of as­so­ci­ation make no pro­vi­sion on how ad­di­tion­al con­tri­bu­tions are to be shared among the mem­bers, the amount due from each is de­term­ined ac­cord­ing to the value of their shares in the co­oper­at­ive or, where no such shares ex­ist, on a per cap­ita basis.

⁴ The ad­di­tion­al con­tri­bu­tions may be called in at any time. If the co­oper­at­ive is in­solv­ent, the right to call in ad­di­tion­al con­tri­bu­tions ac­crues to the in­solv­ency ad­min­is­trat­ors.

⁵ In oth­er re­spects the pro­vi­sions gov­ern­ing the call­ing-in of con­tri­bu­tions and de­clar­a­tion of for­feit­ure are ap­plic­able.
