History of Open Enrollment

 

Over the past several years, we have heard shareholders talk more and more about opening enrollment to descendants of original K’oyitl’ots’ina shareholders. With this in mind, we undertook a shareholder survey to begin to gather information on shareholders’ opinions about opening enrollment. The results showed that 69% of shareholders supported opening enrollment to descendants of original K’oyitl’ots’ina shareholders. View the full shareholder opinion survey results.

 

After extensive review of the survey results, the K’oyitl’ots’ina Board of Directors approved the open enrollment project in spring 2022 with Resolution No. 2022-08. K’oyitl’ots’ina shareholders voted on opening enrollment at the Annual Meeting on June 3, 2023, and the resolution passed with a 92% vote.

 

The approved open enrollment resolution:

 

• ​Reclassified the current 75,000 shares of stock as "Class A Stock."

 

• Authorized issuance of up to 200,000 shares of new descendant stock as "Class B Stock."

 

• Authorized issuance of up to 50,000 shares of new Elder stock as "Class C Stock."

 

Approval allowed K'oyitl'ots'ina to:

 

• Issue 25 shares of Class B Stock to descendants of original K'oyitl'ots'ina shareholders born after December 18th, 1971, who are at least one-quarter Alaska Native or Alaska Native by adoption.

 

• Issue 25 shares of Class C Stock to existing shareholders who are at least 65 years of age and older (Elders).
