2019 Mississippi Code
Title 79 - Corporations, Associations, and Partnerships
Chapter 29 - Revised Mississippi Limited Liability Company Act
Article 3 - Members.
§ 79-29-309. Voting, classes and meetings
(1) With respect to any matter to be voted on, consented to or approved by the members, or any action required or permitted to be taken by the members the vote of each member shall be based on the then current percentage held by such member in the profits of the limited liability company owned by all the members.
(2) Unless a greater percentage is expressly required by another section of this chapter, with respect to any matter to be voted on, consented to or approved by the members or any action required or permitted to be taken by the members, the decision of members of a limited liability company owning more than fifty percent (50%) of the said percentage in the profits as described in subsection (1) of this section is controlling.
(3) A certificate of formation or operating agreement may provide for classes or groups of members having such relative rights, powers and duties as may be provided therein, and may make provision for the future creation in the manner provided therein of additional classes or groups of members having such relative rights, powers and duties as may from time to time be established, including rights, powers and duties senior to existing classes and groups of members. A certificate of formation or written operating agreement may provide that any member or class or group of members shall have no voting rights.
(4) The certificate of formation or operating agreement may grant to all or certain identified members or a specified class or group of the members the right to vote (on any basis) separately or with all or any class or group of the members, on any matter.
(5) A certificate of formation or operating agreement may set forth provisions relating to notice of the time, place or purpose of any meeting at which any matter is to be voted on by any members, waiver of any such notice, action by consent without a meeting, the establishment of a record date, quorum requirements, voting in person or by proxy, or any other matter with respect to the exercise of any such right to vote.
(6)
(a) Meetings of members may be held by means of telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can speak to and hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this subsection shall constitute presence in person at the meeting;
(b) On any matter that is to be voted on, consented to or approved by members, or any action required or permitted to be taken by the members the members may take such action without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the members owning at least the percent of the interests which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all members entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. If any action of the members is proposed to be taken pursuant to this subsection without the written consent of all of the members, the members who did not sign the written consent shall be provided with notice of the executed consent within twenty (20) days of the execution of the written consent. The execution of a written consent by any member shall constitute a waiver by such member of notice thereof.
(c) On any matter that is to be voted on by members, the members may vote in person or by proxy, and the proxy may be granted in writing, by means of electronic transmission or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.
(d) If a meeting of members has not been held during the immediately preceding fifteen (15) months, a member or members owning twenty percent (20%) or more of the voting power of all members entitled to vote may call a regular meeting of members by giving thirty (30) days’ written notice to the members, all at the expense of the limited liability company.
