Credit cooperatives may lay down articles of association that derogate from the provisions governing distribution of annual profit contained in the previous articles, but they too are obliged to form a reserve fund and to use it in accordance with the above provisions.
Each year at least one-tenth of the annual profit must be allocated to the reserve fund until it equals one-tenth of the cooperative’s nominal capital.
Where a portion of the annual profit is paid out to holders of shares in the cooperative and that portion exceeds the usual rate of interest for long-term loans without special security, one-tenth of the amount by which it exceeds the usual interest rate must likewise be allocated to the reserve fund.
