        490.705  NOTICE OF MEETING.
         1.  A corporation shall notify shareholders of the date, time, and
      place of each annual and special shareholders' meeting no fewer than
      ten nor more than sixty days before the meeting date.  Unless this
      chapter or the articles of incorporation require otherwise, the
      corporation is required to give notice only to shareholders entitled
      to vote at the meeting.
         2.  Unless this chapter or the articles of incorporation require
      otherwise, notice of an annual meeting need not include a description
      of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.
         3.  Notice of a special meeting must include a description of the
      purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.
         4.  If not otherwise fixed under section 490.703 or 490.707, the
      record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to
      vote at an annual or special shareholders' meeting is the close of
      business on the day before the first notice is delivered to
      shareholders.
         5.  Unless the bylaws require otherwise, if an annual or special
      shareholders' meeting is adjourned to a different date, time, or
      place, notice need not be given of the new date, time, or place if
      the new date, time, or place is announced at the meeting before
      adjournment.  If a new record date for the adjourned meeting is or
      must be fixed under section 490.707, however, notice of the adjourned
      meeting must be given under this section to persons who are
      shareholders as of the new record date.
