articles of incorporation or by-laws, and shall be paid for by the
subscribers or shareholders as provided in the by-laws. Such payments

evidencing shares, with or without passbooks, shall be issued to each
shareholder on the first payment of dues by him. When the dues paid on
any share, together with the dividends or profits apportioned thereto,
shall equal the par value thereof, such share shall have reached its
matured value. Except in connection with mergers, consolidations or
transfers pursuant to Section 113105 of this act, no shares shall be issued
for any consideration other than cash or cancellation of outstanding
shares of the same association of equal value or, with the approval of the
commissioner, or different values. All shares matured in respect of which
payment shall have been made by the association to the shareholder, and
all shares surrendered or canceled, may be reissued. Accumulative shares
may be issued with the provision that at all times the holder or holders
thereof shall be the owners of the number of shares and a fraction of a
share determined by dividing the value of such shares as defined in
Section 110101 of this act by the par value thereof. Shares may be issued
as full paid shares, installment shares, accumulative shares or prepaid

participation for two or more of such classes of shares may be prescribed
in the by-laws.

which a single payment of dues amounting to the par value of said
shares shall be paid at the time of subscription and upon which the
holder shall be entitled to such dividends or participation in the

prescribed in the by-laws and which must be fully set forth in or

time and dividends shall be credited thereon until such shares reach
their matured value or are canceled or withdrawn. Installment shares

may, if their by-laws so provide issue installment shares limited to a
maximum rate of dividend.
(c) Accumulative Shares. Accumulative shares are shares
which shall participate in the apportionment of profits by way of
dividends and be credited therewith at a rate not exceeding the rate
apportioned to installment shares, as the board of directors shall
determine, and upon which the dues maybe paid in at such times
and in such amounts as the holder thereof may elect and as the
association may permit until said shares reach their matured value or
are canceled or withdrawn.
(d) Prepaid Shares. Prepaid shares shall be shares not full paid,
upon which a single payment shall have been made, and which are
to reach their matured value through crediting on such shares,
dividends or participation in the profits. The holders of prepaid
shares shall be entitled to such participation in the net profits, not
exceeding the rate apportioned to installment shares, as the board of
