CHAPTER 13

30-1310. Limitation on transfer of shares. No shareholder of a corporation organized under this act may sell or transfer his shares in such corporation except to another individual who is eligible to be a shareholder of such corporation, and such sale or transfer may be made only after the same shall have been approved, at a stockholders’ meeting specially called for such purpose, by such proportion, not less than a majority, of the outstanding stock as may be provided in the certificate of incorporation or in the by-laws. At such shareholders’ meeting the shares of stock held by the shareholder proposing to sell or transfer his shares may not be voted or counted for any purpose, unless all stockholders consent that such stock be voted. The articles of incorporation may provide specifically for additional restraints on the alienation of shares and may require the redemption or purchase of such shares by the corporation at prices and in a manner specifically set forth in such articles or the articles may specifically authorize the corporation’s board of directors or its shareholders to adopt by-laws restraining the alienation of shares and providing for the purchase or redemption by the corporation of its shares; provided, however, such provisions dealing with the purchase or redemption by the corporation of its shares may not be invoked at a time or in a manner that would impair the capital of the corporation.
