§ 4-27-701. Annual meeting.
A corporation shall hold a meeting of shareholders annually at a time stated in or fixed in accordance with the bylaws. Annual shareholders' meetings may be held in or out of this state at the place stated in or fixed in accordance with the bylaws. If no place is stated in or fixed in accordance with the bylaws, annual meetings shall be held at the corporation's principal office. The failure to hold an annual meeting at the time stated in or fixed in accordance with a corporation's bylaws does not affect the validity of any corporate action. If the articles of incorporation or bylaws of an investment company so provide, the corporation is not required to hold an annual meeting in any year in which no action is to be taken which requires a vote of shareholders under the Investment Company Act of 1940, unless a meeting is called by more than fifty percent (50%) of the holders of all classes of shares of the corporation or by more than fifty percent (50%) of the board of directors.
