(a) A complete copy of the offeror's statement; and

(b) A statement of the board of directors of the corporation setting forth the position of the board with respect to the acquisition or, if it is the case, stating that the board makes no recommendation concerning the matter.

(a) Must not be held before the expiration of 30 days after the delivery of the offeror's statement, unless the statement contains a request that the meeting be held sooner.

(b) Must be held within 50 days after the delivery of the statement, unless the acquiring person otherwise agrees in writing that the meeting may be held after that time.

5. If the offeror's statement does not include a request that a special meeting be called, the question of voting rights must be presented to the next special or annual meeting of the stockholders.
