§ 14a:7-7.
(1) Subject to any provisions in respect thereof set forth in its certificate of incorporation in effect before the authorization and issuance of the rights or options , a corporation may create and issue, whether or not in connection with the issuance
and sale of any of its shares or bonds, rights or options entitling the holders thereof
to purchase from the corporation shares of any class or series for such consideration
and upon such terms and conditions as may be fixed by the board. Such rights or options shall be evidenced in such manner as the board shall approve
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, may be evidenced by warrants
attached to or forming part of bond instruments or share certificates or existing
independently thereof. The instruments evidencing such rights or options shall set forth or incorporate
by reference the terms and conditions of their exercise, including the time or times,
which may be limited or unlimited in duration, within which, and the price or prices
at which such shares may be purchased from the corporation, and any limitations on
the transferability of any such right or option. The rights or options may contain provisions which adjust the rights or options in
the event of an acquisition of shares or a reorganization, merger, consolidation,
sale of assets or other occurrence. The consideration for shares to be purchased upon the exercise of any such right
or option shall comply with the requirements of sections 14A:7-4 and 14A:7-5 . A good faith judgment of the board as to the adequacy of the consideration received
for such rights or options is conclusive. (2) (Deleted by amendment, P.L.1988, c. 94 .) (3) Notwithstanding N.J.S. 14A:7-1 and N.J.S. 14A:7-2 and any other provision of chapter 7 of Title 14A of the New Jersey Statutes, and
unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation in effect before the
authorization and issuance of the rights or options, a corporation may before, on
or after the effective date of this 1989 amendatory act, authorize and issue rights
or options which include conditions that prevent the holder of a specified percentage
of the outstanding shares of the corporation, including subsequent transferees of
the holder, from exercising those rights or options or which invalidate any rights
or options beneficially owned by the holder of a specified percentage of the outstanding
shares of the corporation, including subsequent transferees of the holder.
