Introduced by: Walter A. Stosch | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Virginia Stock Corporation Act. Allows "householding" of notices to shareholders of public corporations, which means that a corporation may, with the consent of the affected shareholders, send a single notice of shareholders' meetings when there are multiple record shareholders at a single address. A public corporation is defined as having 300 or more shareholders. Other changes allow investment companies to avoid having annual meetings unless required by the corporation's documents or the Investment Company Act of 1940, and allow shareholders to participate in meetings via telephone if authorized in the articles of incorporation or bylaws.
