You May Own Multiple Preferred Shares
A qualifying fleet owner may purchase and own multiple Preferred Shares.
The current Bylaws do not establish a numerical limit on the number of
Preferred Shares a qualifying shareholder may own.
You do not pay a separate monthly maintenance fee simply because you
own additional shares.
In a fully licensed and operating territory, the monthly maintenance fee
applies to your first Preferred Share.
Each additional Preferred Share assigned to another driver actively
operating on Fare Co-op as part of your fleet requires its own
$52.50 monthly maintenance payment.
How Fleet Maintenance Fees Work
The current maintenance charge is
$50 plus applicable processing fees, currently totaling $52.50 per month.
In a fully licensed and operating territory, the charge applies to your
first Preferred Share and to
each additional share assigned to another active fleet driver.

1 × $52.50 = $52.50 |
| You own 5 shares but do not assign any to fleet drivers |

1 × $52.50 = $52.50 |
| You own 5 shares and assign 2 to fleet drivers |

| You own 5 shares and assign 4 to fleet drivers |

5 × $52.50 = $262.50 |
Simple Rule:
Your first Preferred Share carries the maintenance fee in an active market.
Extra shares you simply own do not create additional maintenance charges.
Each extra share assigned to another active fleet driver carries its own
$52.50 monthly maintenance fee.
