(1) One or more shareholders may create a voting trust and conferring on a trustee the right to vote or otherwise act for them by signing an agreement setting out the provisions of the trust which may include anything consistent with its purpose and transferring their shares to the trustee. When a voting trust agreement is signed, the trustee shall prepare a list of the names and addresses of all owners of beneficial interests in the trust, together with the number and class of shares each transferred to the trust, and deliver copies of the list and agreement to the corporations principal office. (2) A voting trust becomes effective on the date the first shares subject to the trust are registered in the trustees name. A voting trust is valid for not more than 10 years after its effective date unless extended under subsection (3) of this section. (3) All or some of the parties to a voting trust may extend it for additional terms of not more than 10 years each by signing an extension agreement and obtaining the voting trustees written consent to the extension. An extension is valid for 10 years from the date the first shareholder signs the extension agreement. The voting trustee must deliver copies of the extension agreement and list of beneficial owners to the corporations principal office. An extension agreement binds only those parties signing it.
