NOTE 4 – MEMBER NOTES RECEIVABLE
During 2015, the Co-op’s Board of Directors authorized a Co-op Member Equipment Financing Program
relative to a system wide rollout of wood assist broiler equipment. The financing program provides that a
member of the Co-op may elect to finance the purchase of the specified equipment under the terms of an
Equipment Obligation Agreement. The Co-op funds each participating member’s equipment purchases.
The Co-op is repaid for the cost of the equipment plus interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.85%. The cost of
the financed equipment plus interest will be repaid to the Co-op via per case surcharge on all cases of
products purchased through a distributor. If a distributor cannot accommodate the surcharge, the member
must repay the Co-op via monthly Automated Clearing House payments. Under terms of the Equipment
Obligation Agreement, the balances are due in full on December 31, 2017. The current portion of member
notes receivable is determined in accordance with repayment terms.
