(a) On written demand stating a proper purpose, a shareholder of record of a real estate investment trust for at least six months immediately preceding the shareholder's demand, or a holder of record of at least five percent of all of the outstanding shares of a real estate investment trust, is entitled to examine and copy, at a reasonable time, the real estate investment trust's relevant books and records of account, minutes, and share transfer records. The examination may be conducted in person or through an agent or attorney.
