NOTICE OF MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO AMEND THE BYLAWS OF UNITED POWER, INC.
NOTICE OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE BYLAWS OF UNITED POWER, INC.
500 COOPERATIVE WAY, BRIGHTON, COLORADO 80603.
The Board of Directors proposes to amend the Bylaws of United Power, Inc. (United Power) as follows:
- Replace the word “nonprofit” with “not-for-profit” because there is a legal and operational distinction between the two types of organizations and United Power is a not-for-profit. This correction will align the cooperative’s governing documents with its IRS filing status, note purchase agreements, and related indenture agreements.
- Include language that provides a deadline for a challenge to any election of directors. Notice of the deadline will provide guidance to members and staff on how to handle any challenges to an election. Clarity in the rules will improve the cooperative’s operational efficiency.
A complete redline of the proposed changes is available on the cooperative’s website at www.unitedpower.com, or members may obtain a hardcopy at any United Power office or via mail by calling 303-637-1300 and requesting that a copy be made available to them at the address on file with the cooperative.
Pursuant to Article 11, Section 8 of the Bylaws of United Power Inc., you are hereby notified that the Board of Directors of United Power proposes to adopt the amendment(s) to United Power’s bylaws at a meeting of the Board to be held on August 27, 2025, unless a written petition is filed at United Power’s headquarters before close of business on August 25, 2025, signed by 100 or more members, protesting the proposed amendments.

Legal Notice of Attempt to Settle
Unclaimed Capital Credit Retirements
Commencing on October 31, 2024, and continuing through April 30, 2025, UNITED POWER, INC. (hereafter “United Power” or “the cooperative”), will make a final attempt to pay the unclaimed retirements of capital credits to its former members who were served by the cooperative prior to and through December 31, 2020. This notice does not apply to current United Power members. Representatives for the estates of deceased former members may also apply for unclaimed retired capital credits on behalf of the former member. Former members, or their representatives, who may be eligible to receive these unclaimed retired capital credits can access a list of eligible accounts at the cooperative’s website at www.unitedpower.com, or in person at United Power’s headquarters office located at 500 Cooperative Way in Brighton, Colorado.
Former members or their representatives who may be eligible to receive a payment of unclaimed retired capital credits must complete and submit an Unclaimed Retired Capital Credits Refund Request form (available at www.unitedpower.com) and verify all necessary information to ensure their eligibility for payment. A copy of the Unclaimed Retired Capital Credits Refund Request form may also be requested by emailing capitalcredits@unitedpower.com or by calling United Power’s Member Services line at 303-637-1300.
Submitting an Unclaimed Retired Capital Credits Refund Request form does not guarantee a disbursement will be made; proper documentation and valid proof of membership during the applicable time period is required. No refund checks will be issued for unclaimed retirement amounts below $5.00. Unclaimed retired capital credit refunds can be donated to the United Power Round Up Foundation, which provides assistance to community organizations within the cooperative's service territory. After the notification period closes on April 30, 2025, all unclaimed retired capital credits for the applicable time period will be considered an assignment and contribution of capital to United Power.
Additional questions about this notice and unclaimed retired capital credit refunds should be directed to United Power Member Services at 303-637-1300 or by email to capitalcredits@unitedpower.com.
