PART 7. SHAREHOLDERS
SUBPART A. MEETINGS
§1-701. Annual meeting
A. Unless directors are elected by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting as permitted by R.S. 12:1-704, a corporation shall hold a meeting of shareholders annually at a time stated in or fixed in accordance with the bylaws or, if not so stated or fixed, as stated or fixed in accordance with a resolution of the board of directors. If a corporation's articles of incorporation authorize shareholders to cumulate their votes when electing directors pursuant to R.S. 12:1-728, directors may not be elected by written consent unless the written consent is unanimous.
B. Annual shareholders' meetings may be held in or out of this state at the place stated in or fixed in accordance with the bylaws or, if not so stated or fixed, as stated or fixed in accordance with a resolution of the board of directors. If no place is stated in or fixed in accordance with the bylaws, annual meetings shall be held at the corporation's principal office.
C. The failure to hold an annual meeting at the time stated in or fixed in accordance with Subsection A of this Section does not affect the validity of any corporate action.
D. If no annual shareholders' meeting is held for a period of eighteen months, and directors are not elected by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting during that period, any shareholder may by notice to the secretary demand that the secretary call such a meeting, to be held at the corporation's principal office or, if none in this state, at its registered office. The secretary shall call the meeting and shall provide notice of the meeting as required by R.S. 12:1-705 within thirty days after the notice to the secretary of the shareholder's demand for the meeting.
