Where this section sits in the code

    (1) Unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise, if a vacancy occurs on a

    board of directors, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of

    directors:

    (a) The shareholders may fill the vacancy;

    (b) The board of directors may fill the vacancy; or

    (c) If the directors remaining in office constitute fewer than a quorum of the

    board, they may fill the vacancy by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the

    directors remaining in office.

    (2) If the vacant office was held by a director elected by a voting group of shareholders,

    only the holders of shares of that voting group shall be entitled to vote to fill the

    vacancy if it is filled by the shareholders.

    (3) A vacancy that will occur at a specific later date (by reason of a resignation

    effective at a later date under subsection (2) of KRS 271B.8 -070 or otherwise) may

    be filled before the vacancy occurs but the new director may not take office until the

    vacancy occurs.
