North Dakota Code § 10-35-12

1. Unless directors are elected by consent in lieu of a regular meeting as provided in 
subsection 5 of section 10-35-09, a publicly traded corporation must hold a meeting of 
shareholders annually for the election of directors and the conduct of such other 
business as may be properly brought before the meeting by the board or the 
shareholders.
2. The articles or bylaws of a publicly traded corporation must state the latest date in 
each calendar year by which the regular meeting of shareholders must be held. The 
date so fixed by the articles or bylaws may not be later than one hundred eighty days 
after the end of the prior fiscal year of the corporation.
3. Any shareholder of a publicly traded corporation may demand a regular meeting of 
shareholders under subsection 2 of section 10 -19.1-71 or apply for an order of court 
directing the holding of a regular meeting of shareholders under section 10 -19.1-72.1, 

in each case without regard to the percentage of the voting power held by the 
shareholder.
4. An amendment of the bylaws of a publicly traded corporation that changes the latest 
date by which the regular meeting of shareholders must be held may not take effect 
until after the regular meeting has been held for the year during which the amendment 
is adopted, unless the amendment has been approved by the shareholders.
5. The committee of the board of a publicly traded corporation that has authority to set 
the compensation of executive officers must report to the shareholders at each regular 
meeting of shareholders on the compensation of the corporation's executive officers. 
The shareholders that are entitled to vote for the election of directors shall also be 
entitled to vote on an advisory basis on whether they accept the report of the 
committee.
