35-14-709. Remote participation -- shareholder's meetings. (1) Shareholders of any class or series of shares may participate in any meeting of shareholders by means of remote communication to the extent the board of directors authorizes the participation for that class or series. Participation as a shareholder by means of remote communication is subject to guidelines and procedures the board of directors adopts and must be in conformity with subsection (2).
(2) Shareholders participating in a shareholders' meeting by means of remote communication are considered present and may vote at the meeting if the corporation has implemented reasonable measures:
(a) to verify that each person participating remotely as a shareholder is a shareholder; and
(b) to provide those shareholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the shareholders, including an opportunity to communicate and to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with the proceedings.
(3) Unless the bylaws require the meeting of shareholders to be held at a place, the board of directors may determine that any meeting of shareholders may not be held at any place and must instead be held solely by means of remote communication, but only if the corporation implements the measures specified in subsection (1).
History: En. Sec. 69, Ch. 271, L. 2019; amd. Sec. 5, Ch. 34, L. 2021.
