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.
