(1) If a notice or communication is required or permitted by this act to be given by mail, it shall be mailed, except as otherwise provided in this act, to the person to which it is directed at the address designated by that person for that purpose or, if none is designated, at that person's last known address. The notice or communication is given when deposited, with postage prepaid, in a post office or official depository under the exclusive care and custody of the United States postal service. The mailing shall be sent by registered, certified, or other first class mail unless otherwise required under this act.

(2) If a notice is required or permitted by this act to be given in writing, electronic transmission is written notice.

(3) If a corporation is required or permitted to provide its shareholders or members with a written notice or other written report, statement, or communications under this act, the articles of incorporation, or the bylaws, the corporation may provide that notice, report, statement, or communication to all shareholders or members that share a common address by delivering 1 copy of it to the common address if all of the following are met:

(a) The corporation addresses the notice, report, statement, or communication to the shareholders or members that share the common address as a group, individually, or in any other form to which any of those shareholders or members have not objected.

(b) At least 60 days before the first delivery or any delivery to a common address under this subsection, the corporation gives notice to each of the shareholders or members that share that common address that it intends to provide only 1 copy of notices, reports, statements, or other communications to shareholders or members that share a common address.

(c) The corporation has not received a written objection from any shareholder or member that shares a common address to deliveries under this subsection to that shareholder or member. If it receives a written objection under this subdivision, the corporation within 30 days shall begin providing the objecting shareholder or member with separate copies of any notices, reports, statements, or communications to the shareholders or members, but the corporation may deliver 1 copy of the notices, reports, statements, or communications to all of the shareholders or members at that common address that have not objected.

(4) If a notice or communication is permitted by this act to be transmitted electronically, the notice or communication is given when electronically transmitted to the person entitled to the notice or communication in a manner authorized by the person.

(5) If the administrator is required under this act to give notice to a corporation, the administrator may electronically transmit the notice to the corporation's resident agent in the manner authorized by the corporation.

(6) As used in subsection (3), "address" means a street address, post office box, electronic mail address for electronic transmissions by electronic mail, or telephone facsimile number for electronic transmissions by facsimile.
