Illinois Code § 4006

§ 4006.

Record date for voting, dividend, and other purposes. (a) For the purposes of determining the holders of stock, capital accounts, and membership entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of the members or in order to make a determination of the members, holders, or other persons for any other proper purpose, the bylaws may provide for a record date, not fewer than 10 days nor more than 40 days before the meeting or other event or transaction with regard to which the determination is to be made. This determination shall be made as of the close of business on the record date. (b) If the bylaws do not provide for a record date, the board of directors may fix a record date for each determination to be made, within the time limits set forth in subsection (a). If the board of directors fails to fix a record date, the record date for a meeting shall be the date on which the first notice of meeting is given. (c) Shares of stock or deposit accounts withdrawn or retired after the record date shall not be voted or counted in determining the number of shares outstanding. This Section shall be applicable to the dividend payments on capital stock, but dividends on deposit accounts shall be governed by Section 5008 of this Act. (Source: P.A. 86-1213.)
