Under the Revised Corporation Code, when a postponed stockholders' meeting occurs, when must written notice be sent to stockholders or members of record?

• A. At least two weeks prior to the date of the meeting, unless a different period is required under the bylaws, law or regulation.
• B. At least five weeks prior to the date of the meeting, unless a different period is required under the bylaws, law or regulation.
• C. At least four weeks prior to the date of the meeting, unless a different period is required under the bylaws, law or regulation.
• D. At least three weeks prior to the date of the meeting, unless a different period is required under the bylaws, law or regulation.

Answer: (A)

Notice timing for stockholders' meetings under the Revised Corporation Code is set to give holders a reasonable window to consider and respond. The rule requires written notice to stockholders or members of record at least two weeks before the meeting date, so they have enough time to prepare, attend, or vote. If a meeting is postponed, this same lead time applies to the new date—the notice must still go out at least two weeks before the rescheduled date, unless the bylaws or law or regulation require a different period. Longer lead times may apply if the bylaws or applicable rules specify them, but the default is two weeks.
