Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. A corporation is not obligated to but
may sign and deliver a certificate for or including a fraction of a share.
2. In lieu of signing and delivering a
certificate for a fraction of a share, a corporation may:
(a) Pay to any person otherwise entitled to
become a holder of a fraction of a share an amount in cash based on a per share
value, and that value or the method of determining that value must be specified
in the articles, plan of reorganization, plan of merger or exchange, resolution
of the board of directors, or other instrument pursuant to which the fractional
share would otherwise be issued;
(b) Issue such additional fraction of a share as
is necessary to increase the fractional share to a full share; or
(c) Sign and deliver registered or bearer scrip
over the manual or facsimile signature of an officer of the corporation or of
its agent for that purpose, exchangeable as provided on the scrip for full
share certificates, but the scrip does not entitle the holder to any rights as
a stockholder except as provided on the scrip. The scrip may provide that it
becomes void unless the rights of the holders are exercised within a specified
period and may contain any other provisions or conditions that the corporation
deems advisable. Whenever any scrip ceases to be exchangeable for full share
certificates, the shares that would otherwise have been issuable as provided on
the scrip are deemed to be treasury shares unless the scrip contains other
provisions for their disposition.
3. If any proposed corporate action
pursuant to this section would result in only money being paid or scrip being
issued to stockholders who:
(a) Before the proposed corporate action becomes
effective, in the aggregate hold 1 percent or more of the outstanding shares of
the affected class or series; and
(b) Would otherwise be entitled to receive a
fraction of a share in exchange for the cancellation of all their outstanding
shares,
any
stockholder who is obligated, as a result of the corporate action taken
pursuant to this section, to accept money or scrip rather than receive a
fraction of a share in exchange for the cancellation of all the stockholders
outstanding shares, may dissent in accordance with the provisions of NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500 , inclusive, and obtain payment of
the fair value of the fraction of a share to which the stockholder would
otherwise be entitled.
