(1) Each holder of shares obtaining the legal status of a member will hold an ownership interest in the cooperative society in accordance with the stipulations of the resolution on change of legal form. An obligation to assume further business shares remains unaffected. Section 202 (1) no. 2 sentence 2 applies, with the proviso that the rights of third parties to the shares thus far comprising the ownership interest will continue in existence, then having as their object the amount of capital contribution obtained by the change of legal form.
(2) The court may not mandate of its own motion that the cooperative society be wound up in accordance with section 80 of the Trade & Industrial Cooperative Societies Act before one year has lapsed after the change of legal form has taken effect.
(3) By the change of legal form by a public partly limited partnership, its general partners will leave the legal entity in that capacity.
