**Investor Members**

"Any natural person, nominee for an unincorporated body, firm, partnership or corporate body that supports the objects of the Co-operative may become a Member."

"Investor Members shall not have more than 10% share of the voting strength on any Extraordinary or ordinary resolution." This is to preserve the overall purpose of Equal Care Co-op.

### What the bylaws say

To become an Investor Member you:

(a) invest during an Equal Care Co-op Community Share Offer. The terms and conditions of your investment are defined by the Share Offer documents.

You stop being an Investor Member if you withdraw the full value of your investment.
