Notice of meetings
Official statutory text
Sec. 5. (a) A corporation shall, not less than ten (10) days and not more than sixty (60) days before the date of each annual or special shareholders' meeting, notify shareholders of all the following:
(1) The date, time, and place, if the meeting will be located at a place, of the annual or special shareholders' meeting.
(2) The means of remote communication, if any, by which shareholders may be considered present in person and vote at the meeting.
Unless this article or the articles of incorporation require otherwise, the corporation is required to give notice only to shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting.
(b) Unless this article or the articles of incorporation require otherwise, notice of an annual meeting need not include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.
(c) Notice of a special meeting must include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.
(d) If not otherwise fixed under section 7 of this chapter, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at an annual or special shareholders' meeting is the close of business on the day before the first notice is delivered to shareholders.
(e) Unless the bylaws require otherwise, if an annual or special shareholders' meeting is adjourned to a different date, time, or place, notice need not be given of the new date, time, or place, if any, if the:
(1) new date, time, or place; and
(2) means of remote communication, if any, by which shareholders may be considered to be present in person and vote at the adjourned meeting;
are announced at the meeting before adjournment. If a new record date for the adjourned meeting is or must be fixed under section 7 of this chapter, however, notice of the adjourned meeting must be given under this section to persons who are shareholders as of the new record date.
(f) A corporation may give notice of a shareholders' meeting under this section by mailing the notice, postage prepaid, through the United States Postal Service, using any class or form of mail, if:

(2) the notice and the related proxy or information statement required under the Exchange Act (as defined in IC 23-1-43-9) are available to the public, without cost or password, through the corporation's website not fewer than thirty (30) days before the shareholders' meeting.
