EXCEPTION TO REQUIREMENTS OF NOTICE
A. Whenever notice is required to be given, pursuant to any
provision of this title or of the certificate of incorporation or
bylaws of any corporation, to any person with whom communication is
unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be
required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental
authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to
such person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held
without notice to any such person with whom communication is
unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had
been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 18. Corporations Page 400
corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under
any of the other sections of this title, the certificate shall
state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice
was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such
persons with whom communication is unlawful.
B. Whenever notice is required to be given pursuant to any
provision of the Oklahoma General Corporation Act or the certificate
of incorporation or bylaws of any corporation, to any shareholder
or, if the corporation is a nonstock corporation, to any member to
whom:
1. Notice of two consecutive annual meetings and all notices of
meetings or of the taking of action by written consent without a
meeting to such person during the period between such two
consecutive annual meetings; or
2. All, and at least two, payments, if sent by first-class
mail, of dividends or interest on securities during a twelve-month
period,
have been mailed addressed to such person at the person’s address as
shown on the records of the corporation and have been returned
undeliverable, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be
required. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held
without notice to such person shall have the same force and effect
as if such notice had been duly given. If any such person shall
deliver to the corporation a written notice setting forth the
person’s then current address, the requirement that notice be given
to such person shall be reinstated. In the event that the action
taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a
certificate under any of the other sections of this act, the
certificate need not state that notice was not given to persons to
whom notice was not required to be given pursuant to the provisions
of this subsection.
C. The exception in paragraph 1 of subsection B to the
requirement that notice be given shall not be applicable to any
notice returned as undeliverable if the notice was given by
