§ 63-1-17. Removal of directors; call and notice of meetings; filling vacancy
Official statutory text
Directors may be removed from office by a vote of stockholders holding two-thirds of the subscribed capital stock, at a general meeting held after previous notice of the time and place and of the intention to propose such removal. Meetings of stockholders for this purpose may be called by the president or by a majority of the directors, or by stockholders holding at least one-half of the subscribed capital stock. Such calls must be in writing and addressed to the secretary who must thereupon give notice of the time, place and object of the meeting, and by whose order it is called. If the secretary refuses to give such notice, or if there be no secretary, the call may be addressed directly to the stockholders, and be served as a notice, in which case it must specify the time and place of meeting. The notice must be given in the manner prescribed in the bylaws. If, however, no provision has been made in the bylaws, then it shall be served in the manner prescribed in Section 63-1-9 NMSA 1978 . In case of removal, the vacancy may be immediately filled by election at the same meeting.
