Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 281202 — Shareholder Approval of Certain Dispositions., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 281202. Shareholder Approval of Certain Dispositions.
(a) A sale, lease, exchange, or other disposition of assets, other than a
disposition described in § 281201, requires approval of the corporation’s
shareholders if the disposition would leave the corporation without a
significant continuing business activity. If a corporation retains a business
activity that represented at least 25 percent of total assets at the end of the
most recently completed fiscal year, and 25 percent of either income from
continuing operations before taxes or revenues from continuing operations
for that fiscal year, in each case of the corporation and its subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis, the corporation will conclusively be deemed to have
retained a significant continuing business activity.
(b) A disposition that requires approval of the shareholders under
subsection (a) shall be initiated by a resolution by the board of directors
authorizing the disposition. After adoption of such a resolution, the board of
directors shall submit the proposed disposition to the shareholders for their

approval. The board of directors shall also transmit to the shareholders a
recommendation that the shareholders approve the proposed disposition,
unless the board of directors makes a determination that because of conflicts
of interest or other special circumstances it should not make such a
recommendation, in which case the board of directors shall transmit to the
shareholders the basis for that determination.
(c) The board of directors may condition its submission of a disposition
to the shareholders under subsection (b) on any basis.
(d) If a disposition is required to be approved by the shareholders under
subsection (a), and if the approval is to be given at a meeting, the
corporation shall notify each shareholder, whether or not entitled to vote, of
the meeting of shareholders at which the disposition is to be submitted for
approval. The notice shall state that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of
the meeting is to consider the disposition and shall contain a description of
the disposition, including the terms and conditions thereof and the
consideration to be received by the corporation.
(e) Unless the articles of incorporation or the board of directors acting
pursuant to subsection (c) requires a greater vote, or a greater number of
votes to be present, the approval of a disposition by the shareholders shall
require the approval of the shareholders at a meeting at which a quorum
consisting of at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the
disposition exists.
(f) After a disposition has been approved by the shareholders under
subsection (b), and at any time before the disposition has been
consummated, it may be abandoned by the corporation without action by the
shareholders, subject to any contractual rights of other parties to the
disposition.
(g) A disposition of assets in the course of dissolution under Article 14
is not governed by this section.
(h) The assets of a direct or indirect consolidated subsidiary shall be
deemed the assets of the parent corporation for the purposes of this section.
