N.D. Cent. Code § 10-19.1-41

10-19.1-41. Nonjudicial removal of directors

1. The provisions of this section apply unless modified by the articles, the bylaws, or an

agreement described in section 10-19.1-83.

2. A director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, if:

a. The director was named by the board to fill a vacancy;

b. The shareholders have not elected directors in the interval between the time of

the appointment to fill a vacancy and the time of the removal; and

c. A majority of the remaining directors present affirmatively vote to remove the

director.

3. Except as provided in subsection 4, any or all of the directors may be removed at any

time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the

voting power of all shares entitled to vote at an election of directors. However, if a

director has been elected solely by the holders of a class or series of shares, as stated

in the articles or bylaws, then that director may be removed only by the affirmative vote

of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all shares of that class or series

entitled to vote at an election of that director.

4. In a corporation having cumulative voting, unless the entire board is removed

simultaneously, a director is not removed from the board if there are cast against

removal of the director the votes of a proportion of the voting power sufficient to elect

the director at an election of the entire board under cumulative voting.

5. New directors may be elected at a meeting at which directors are removed. If the

corporation allows cumulative voting and if a shareholder notifies the presiding officer

at any time prior to the election of new directors of interest to cumulate the votes of the

shareholders, then the presiding officer shall announce before the election that

cumulative voting is in effect and shareholders shall cumulate their votes as provided

in subdivision b of subsection 2 of section 10-19.1-39.
