(1) A cooperative may elect to withhold payment required by § 43-38-807 from a dissenter unless the dissenter was a member before the date set forth in the dissenters' notice as of the date of the first announcement to news media or to members of the principal terms of the proposed cooperative action.
(2) To the extent the cooperative elects not to withhold payment under subsection (a), after effectuating the proposed cooperative action, it shall estimate the fair value of the membership interest, plus accrued interest, and shall pay this amount to each dissenter who agrees to accept it in full satisfaction of the dissenter's demand. The cooperative shall send with its offer a statement of its estimate of the fair value of the membership interest, an explanation of how the interest was calculated, and a statement of the dissenter's right to demand payment under § 43-38-810.
