A. A corporation may:
1. Issue certificates representing fractions of a share or pay in money the fair value of fractions of a share as determined by the board of directors.
2. Arrange for the disposition of fractional shares by those entitled to the fractional shares.
3. Issue scrip in registered or bearer form that is executed by the corporation, which execution may be by facsimile signature, and that entitles the holder to receive a full share on surrendering enough scrip to equal a full share.

The holder of scrip is not entitled to exercise any rights of a shareholder unless otherwise provided for in the scrip.
