CHAPTER 30. Voting by Shareholders
23-1-30-1. Shareholders' list
Sec. 1. (a) After fixing a record date for a meeting, a corporation shall prepare an alphabetical list of the names of all its shareholders who are entitled to notice of a shareholders' meeting. The list must be arranged by voting group (and within each voting group by class or series of shares) and show the address of and number of shares held by each shareholder. This section may not be construed to require a corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on the list.
(b) The shareholders' list must be available for inspection by any shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting, beginning five (5) business days before the date of the meeting for which the list was prepared and continuing through the meeting, at the corporation's principal office or at a place identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held. Subject to IC 23-1-52-2(c), a shareholder, or the shareholder's agent or attorney authorized in writing, is entitled on written demand to inspect and to copy the list, during regular business hours and at the shareholder's expense, during the period it is available for inspection.
(c) The corporation shall make the shareholders' list available at the meeting, and any shareholder, or the shareholder's agent or attorney authorized in writing, is entitled to inspect the list at any time during the meeting or any adjournment. If the meeting is held solely by means of remote communication, the list must be open to examination by any shareholder at any time during the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network. Information required to access the list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.
(d) If the corporation refuses to allow a shareholder, or the shareholder's agent or attorney authorized in writing, to inspect the shareholders' list during the period specified in subsection (b) (or copy the list as permitted by subsection (b)), the circuit or superior court of the county where a corporation's principal office (or, if none in Indiana, its registered office) is located, on application of the shareholder, may order the inspection or copying.
(e) Refusal or failure to prepare or make available the shareholders' list does not affect the validity of action taken at the meeting.
(f) The use and distribution of any information acquired from inspection or copying the shareholders' list under the rights granted by this section are subject to IC 23-1-52-5.
