36 U.S.C. § 150409 — Restrictions

(a) Stock and Dividends. The corporation may not issue any shares of stock. It also may not declare or pay any dividends. (b) Distribution of Income or Assets. (1) In general, the corporation's income or assets cannot benefit any person who is a member, officer, or director of the corporation, and cannot be given to such a person while the charter is in effect. (2) Effect. This does not stop the corporation from paying its officers a reasonable salary, or from reimbursing actual and necessary expenses, as long as the board of directors approves the amounts. (c) Loans. The corporation may not make a loan to any officer, director, member, or employee of the corporation. (d) No Federal Endorsement. Having this federal charter does not mean the corporation can claim that Congress approved its activities or that the Federal Government backs its activities.
