between 40% to 60%. If cash is available and equity is high in the range, a
capital credit refund to members is an appropriate consideration of our Board
in controlling our system equity.

ARE CAPITAL CREDITS REFUNDED EVERY YEAR?
Each year, the Southeastern Indiana REMC Board of Directors makes a
decision on whether to refund capital credits based on the financial health
of the cooperative. During some years the co-op may experience extreme
weather patterns which significantly affects kWh sales and margins, high
growth in the number of new accounts added, maintaining an optimal
equity level, rate inadequacy due to inflated costs since the last rate revision
or severe storms may result in the need to spend additional funds to repair
lines and restore electric service. These events might lower cash and member
equity, causing the board to defer any capital credit refund. For this reason
Southeastern Indiana REMC’s ability to return margins to members in the
form of capital credits reflects your cooperative’s strength and financial
stability.

DO I LOSE MY CAPITAL CREDITS IN THE YEARS THE CO-OP
DECIDES NOT TO MAKE REFUNDS?
No. All capital credits from every year members have been served by
Southeastern Indiana REMC are maintained until such time as the board
refunds them. Prior to this year, Southeastern Indiana REMC refunded all
capital credits through 1991.

HOW MUCH HAS SOUTHEASTERN INDIANA REMC PAID IN TOTAL
CAPITAL CREDITS REFUNDS SINCE IT BEGAN IN 1939?
Southeastern Indiana REMC has paid $17,978,551 in capital credit refunds to
current and former members to date.

OPERATION ROUNDUP© PROGRAM

AWARDS OVER $45,000

The first disbursement of Operation RoundUp© funds exceeding $45,000 was awarded to 24 recipients from 7

dollar amount. The most any member will contribute is $6 per year, per account. The next opportunity to receive an
