(2) When the contributions of the incorporators or directors to the expense fund have been returned to the contributors, the contributions made to the guaranty fund by incorporators or directors may be returned to them pro rata from that portion of the guaranty fund created from the earnings of the Oregon nonstock bank, if the repayments will not reduce the earned portion of the guaranty fund below 10 percent of the amount due depositors. If the Oregon nonstock bank liquidates before the contributions to the guaranty fund have been repaid, any portion of the contributions not needed for the payment of the expenses of liquidation, the payment of depositors in full and the repayment of contributions to the expense fund may be repaid to the contributors pro rata.
(3) The board of directors may create a fund to be known as the guarantor’s reimbursement fund. One percent of the net earnings at the close of any dividend period may be paid in the guarantor’s reimbursement fund if it can be done without reducing the dividend rate below one percent per annum. The guarantor’s reimbursement fund may accumulate until it is equal to the amount contributed by the incorporators to the guaranty and expense funds, at which time the fund shall be used to repay the incorporators the amounts contributed by them to the guaranty and expense funds, if that portion of the guaranty fund created from earnings amounts to at least $15,000.
