A. The corporation shall prepare, no later than the tenth day
before each meeting of shareholders, a complete list of the
shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting; provided, however, if
the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote is
less than ten (10) days before the meeting date, the list shall
reflect the shareholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before
the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the
address of each shareholder and the number of shares registered in
the name of each shareholder. Nothing contained in this section
shall require the corporation to include electronic mail addresses
or other electronic contact information on the list. The list shall
be open to the examination of any shareholder, for any purpose
germane to the meeting for a period of ten (10) days ending on the
day before the meeting date:
1. On a reasonably accessible electronic network; provided,
that the information required to gain access to the list is provided
with the notice of the meeting; or
2. During ordinary business hours, at the principal place of
business of the corporation. In the event that the corporation
determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the
corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that the information
is available only to shareholders of the corporation.

B. If the corporation or an officer or agent of the corporation
refuses to permit examination of the list by a shareholder, such
shareholder may apply to the district court for an order to compel
the corporation to permit such examination. The burden of proof
shall be on the corporation to establish that the examination the
shareholder seeks is for a purpose not germane to the meeting. The
court may summarily order the corporation to permit examination of
the list upon such conditions as the court may deem appropriate and
may make such additional orders as may be appropriate including but
not limited to postponing the meeting or voiding the results of the
meeting.
C. For the purposes of the Oklahoma General Corporation Act,
“stock ledger” means one or more records administered by or on
behalf of the corporation in which the names of all the
corporation’s shareholders of record, the address and number of
shares registered in the name of each such shareholder and all
issuances and transfers of stock of the corporation are recorded in
accordance with Section 1069 of this title. The stock ledger shall
be the only evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled by this
section to examine the list required by this section or to vote in
person or by proxy at any meeting of shareholders.
