Unless, pursuant to ORS 711.170 (8) or other applicable law, the shareholders of the Oregon stock bank are not entitled to receive fair value of their shares, the notice shall be accompanied by a copy of ORS 711.175, 711.180 and 711.185, and shall explain that the sections establish the rights of dissenting stockholders.
