605 - Notice of meetings of shareholders.

 
  § 605. Notice of meetings of shareholders.
    (a)  Whenever  under  the  provisions of this chapter shareholders are
  required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, notice  shall  be
  given  stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and, unless it is
  the annual meeting, indicating that it is being  issued  by  or  at  the
  direction  of  the  person  or  persons calling the meeting. Notice of a
  special meeting shall also state the purpose or purposes for  which  the
  meeting  is called. Notice of any meeting of shareholders may be written
  or electronic. If, at any meeting, action is proposed to be taken  which
  would,  if  taken,  entitle  shareholders fulfilling the requirements of
  section 623 (Procedure to enforce shareholder's right to receive payment
  for shares) to receive payment for their  shares,  the  notice  of  such
  meeting shall include a statement of that purpose and to that effect and
  shall  be  accompanied  by  a  copy  of section 623 or an outline of its
  material terms. Notice of any meeting shall be given not fewer than  ten
  nor  more  than  sixty  days  before  the date of the meeting, provided,
  however, that such notice may be given by third  class  mail  not  fewer
  than  twenty-four  nor  more  than  sixty  days  before  the date of the
  meeting, to each shareholder  entitled  to  vote  at  such  meeting.  If
  mailed,  such  notice is given when deposited in the United States mail,
  with postage  thereon  prepaid,  directed  to  the  shareholder  at  the
  shareholder's  address  as it appears on the record of shareholders, or,
  if  the  shareholder  shall  have  filed  with  the  secretary  of   the
  corporation  a request that notices to the shareholder be mailed to some
  other  address,  then  directed  to  him  at  such  other  address.   If
  transmitted  electronically,  such  notice is given when directed to the
  shareholder's electronic mail address as supplied by the shareholder  to
  the  secretary  of  the corporation or as otherwise directed pursuant to
  the shareholder's authorization or instructions.  An  affidavit  of  the
  secretary  or  other  person giving the notice or of a transfer agent of
  the corporation that the notice required by this section has been  given
  shall,  in  the  absence  of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts
  therein stated.
    (b) When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, it shall not
  be necessary, unless the by-laws require otherwise, to give  any  notice
  of  the  adjourned meeting if the time and place to which the meeting is
  adjourned are announced at the  meeting  at  which  the  adjournment  is
  taken,  and at the adjourned meeting any business may be transacted that
  might have been transacted on the original date of the meeting. However,
  if after the adjournment the board fixes  a  new  record  date  for  the
  adjourned  meeting,  a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to
  each shareholder of record on the new record  date  entitled  to  notice
  under paragraph (a).
