How do I redeem my equities?

In order to expedite the redemption process, please locate the original stock certificate and/or patronage refund allocation stub. Sign the back of the certificate(s) as appropriate and forward those to the Stock Records Department. If the stockholder is deceased, the surviving spouse or the executor of the estate may endorse the certificates. If the account total is more than $100.00, then a certified death certificate and proof of executorship is also required.
