MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS AND DIRECTORS.

OF STOCKHOLDERS--GENERAL AND SPECIAL.

OF DIRECTORS-GENERAL AND SPECIAL.

The meetings of stockholders and directors are the most important of the corporate activities, for in them the officers are selected and given directions as to the policy of the company and what is expected of them. The ordinary management of the corporation is governed by the by-laws, State laws and the usages of the business it is organized to conduct. Special and unusual matters are regulated by the action of the directors or stockholders at their regular or special meetings.

Stockholders' meeting.

The annual meeting of the stockholders is for the purpose of electing directors, changing the corporate name, object, dissolving the company, reorganizing or consolidating with other companies, or other fundamental action. This meeting is not provided for by statute but is customary with all corporations. The by-laws should provide for the time and place of holding it. Notice to stockholders of this meeting is required to be mailed to each stockholder a reasonable time before the meeting, and should be provided for by by-laws. (For form see Form No.)

The president usually presides at the stockholders' meetings and the secretary makes a note of all motions and the action taken as to them, unless the meeting chooses a special chairman and secretary. Where the matter is not regulated by a bylaw the meeting may select its officers. A complete record of the meeting should be written up in the Minute Book.

Voting at all stockholders' meetings is by stock held at the date of the meeting as shown by the Stockholders' Ledger and

Register. Stock assigned but not regularly transferred on the Transfer Book or Register cannot be voted by the assignee until duly transferred, but must be voted in the name of the holder appearing on the books. (As to who are owners of stock see Stock-.) In taking a vote on any matter the Secretary calls the names of the stockholders from the Register. Each stockholder as his name is called states whether he votes Yes or No and the number of shares. Persons holding proxies vote the stock so held in the name of the owner. Proxies must be duly executed and filed with the secretary before the voting. (Form No.) One stockholder may hold proxies from any number of other stockholders and vote under same.

A majority of the entire stock is necessary to constitute a quorum and a majority of the stock present at the meeting is required to carry any motion or resolution.

Special stockholders' meetings.-The stockholders owning two-thirds of the stock fully paid for may call a special meeting of stockholders at any time by signing a call. (For form of call see Form No. -.) The call must show the stock held by each person signing it, and is filed with the president or secretary and a copy must be published in two newspapers, one in the residence city of the corporation where the main office is established and another at Springfield, the State capital. (For notice of call see Form No.-.) This notice must appear in said newspapers "for three successive weeks," one day in each week. The first and last publication must be three weeks apart. In addition to the above publication the secretary is required to mail a copy of the call to each director at his usual place of residence, and should make and file in the company's records an affidavit of mailing. (Form No.—.) The secretary also attends to the publication of the call in the newspaper and should secure a certificate of publication from the published. (Form No. -.) The secretary is further required to make an entry of said call and publication in the corporate records; which entry should be in the Minute Book immediately preceding the minutes of the doings at such special meeting. (For form of record see Form No. -.)
