E. Transfer of membership
I. In general
1 The assignment of shares in the cooperative and, where a certificate is issued as proof of membership or such share, the transfer of this certificate do not automatically make the acquirer a member. He becomes a member only after the existing members have passed a resolution of acceptance as required by law and the articles of association.
2 Until such time as the acquirer becomes a member, the alienator is entitled to exercise his personal membership rights.
3 Where membership of a cooperative is linked with a contract, the articles of association may stipulate that, if the contract is subsequently taken over, membership automatically passes to the legal successor.
III. Délai de dénonciation et date de la sortie
1 La sortie ne peut être déclarée que pour la fin d’un exercice annuel et au moins un an à l’avance.
2 Les statuts peuvent prévoir un délai plus court et autoriser la sortie pendant l’exercice annuel.
