§ 192. Newly created directorships

Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, unless it is otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws, and the directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual elections and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, unless sooner displaced; but, if the directors then in office shall constitute less than a majority of the whole board (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least 10 percent of the total number of shares of the capital stock of the corporation at the time outstanding having the right to vote for directors, the District Court of the United States Virgin Islands may summarily order an election to be held to fill any such newly created directorships, or to replace the director or directors chosen by the directors then in office as aforesaid, which election shall be governed by the provisions of section 193 of this title in so far as such provisions are applicable. The person or persons elected pursuant to said order shall serve as a director or as directors until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, and shall displace any person or persons who may theretofore have been appointed by the directors then in office as aforesaid.
