Artikel XV

Any Member may withdraw from the Bank on conditions laid down by the Governing Board on giving notice of six months prior to the end of the current calendar year.
Should the Governing Board decide upon the suspension of activities, the Bank shall cease all loan and guarantee operations.
Should the Governing Board decide upon the termination of operations, the Bank shall forthwith cease all activities except those incidental to the settlement of its obligations and the realisation, conservation and preservation of its assets.
After all liabilities of the Bank, including satisfaction of rights upon distribution which may previously have been granted by the Bank upon accepting contributions under Article V, have been discharged or provided for, the Members of the Bank shall adopt a plan for the distribution of assets which shall be based on the following principles:
a. No Member of the Bank against which the Bank has an unsatisfied claim shall be eligible to participate in the distribution under the plan until it has regularised its position;
b. Priority shall be given to using the Bank's net assets to reimburse to Members the sums paid by them in pursuance of Article IV, in proportion to the number of certificates paid up. Any excess of the Bank's net assets over the aggregate total of such distributed shares shall be allotted to all Members of the Bank in proportion to the number of participating certificates held by each;
c. Should there be net liabilities, they shall be distributed among the Members of the Bank in proportion to the number of participating certificates held by each. Each Member will be required to pay its share to the Bank, less the certificates paid up and up to a maximum of the certificates subscribed.
