  2. Subtitle 3. Corporations and Associations
  3. Chapter 27 Business Corporation Act of 1987
  4. Subchapter 7 — Shareholders
  5. Part A: Meetings

(a) Action on proposals to increase the capital stock or bond indebtedness of a corporation may be taken without a meeting of shareholders if one (1) or more written consents, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the shareholders of the corporation. Any other action required or permitted by this chapter to be taken at a meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting if one (1) or more written consents, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Any written consent executed by one (1) or more shareholders pursuant to this section shall be delivered to the corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records.

(b) If not otherwise fixed under § 4-27-703 or § 4-27-707, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to take action without a meeting is the date the first shareholder signs the consent under subsection (a) of this section.

(c) A consent signed under this section has the effect of a meeting vote and may be described as such in any document.

(d) If this chapter requires that notice of proposed action be given to nonvoting shareholders and the action is to be taken by written consent of the voting shareholders, the corporation must give its nonvoting shareholders written notice of the proposed action at least ten (10) days before the action is taken. The notice must contain or be accompanied by the same material that, under this chapter, would have been required to be sent to nonvoting shareholders in a notice of meeting at which the proposed action would have been submitted to the shareholders for action.
