§ 35-14-1303. Assertion Of Rights -- Nominees -- Beneficial Shareholders

Assertion of rights -- nominees -- beneficial shareholders. (1) A record shareholder may assert appraisal rights as to fewer than all the shares registered in the record shareholder's name but owned by a beneficial shareholder or a voting trust beneficial owner only if the record shareholder objects with respect to all shares of a class or series owned by the beneficial shareholder or the voting trust beneficial owner and notifies the corporation in writing of the name and address of each beneficial shareholder or voting trust beneficial owner on whose behalf appraisal rights are being asserted. The rights of a record shareholder who asserts appraisal rights for only part of the shares held of record in the record shareholder's name under this subsection must be determined as if the shares to which the record shareholder objects and the record shareholder's other shares were registered in the names of different record shareholders. (2) A beneficial shareholder and a voting trust beneficial owner may assert appraisal rights as to shares of any class or series held on behalf of the shareholder only if the shareholder: (a) submits to the corporation the record shareholder's written consent to the assertion of the rights no later than the date referred to in 35-14-1322 (2)(b)(ii); and (b) does so with respect to all shares of the class or series that are beneficially owned by the beneficial shareholder or the voting trust beneficial owner.
