Sec. 33-701. Record date. (a) The bylaws may fix or provide the manner of fixing
the record date for one or more voting groups in order to determine the shareholders
entitled to notice of a shareholders' meeting, to demand a special meeting, to vote or to
take any other action. If the bylaws do not fix or provide for fixing a record date, the
board of directors of the corporation may fix a future date as the record date.
(b) A record date fixed under this section may not be more than seventy days before
the meeting or action requiring a determination of shareholders.
(c) A determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a shareholders'
meeting is effective for any adjournment of the meeting unless the board of directors
fixes a new record date, which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than
one hundred twenty days after the date fixed for the original meeting.
(d) If a court orders a meeting adjourned to a date more than one hundred twenty
days after the date fixed for the original meeting, it may provide that the original record
date continues in effect or it may fix a new record date.
