        the provisions of this subpart or by the articles or bylaws
        of any business corporation shall be given to the person
        either personally or by sending a copy thereof:
                (i)  By first class or express mail, postage prepaid,

            address appearing on the books of the corporation or, in
            the case of directors, supplied by him to the corporation
            for the purpose of notice. Notice pursuant to this
            subparagraph shall be deemed to have been given to the
            person entitled thereto when deposited in the United
            States mail or with a courier service for delivery to
            that person.
                (ii)  By facsimile transmission, e-mail or other
            electronic communication to his facsimile number or
            address for e-mail or other electronic communications
            supplied by him to the corporation for the purpose of
            notice. Notice pursuant to this subparagraph shall be
            deemed to have been given to the person entitled thereto
            when sent.
            (2)  A notice of meeting shall specify the day and hour
        and geographic location, if any, of the meeting and any other
        information required by any other provision of this subpart.
        (b)  Adjourned shareholder meetings.--When a meeting of
     shareholders is adjourned, it shall not be necessary to give any
     notice of the adjourned meeting or of the business to be
     transacted at an adjourned meeting, other than by announcement
     at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless the
     board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting or this
     subpart requires notice of the business to be transacted and
     such notice has not previously been given.
        (c)  Bulk mail notice.--A corporation that is not a closely
     held corporation and that gives notice by mail of any regular or
     special meeting of the shareholders (or any other notice
     required by this subpart or by the articles or bylaws to be
     given to all shareholders or to all holders of a class or series
     of shares) at least 20 days prior to the day named for the
     meeting or any corporate or shareholder action specified in the
     notice may use any class of postpaid mail.
