Section 707.619 - Voting entitlement of shares(1) Each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders, except to the extent that the voting rights of the shares of any class or classes are limited or denied by the articles of incorporation as permitted by the Bank Act.(2) Neither shares of its own stock held by the institution or Oregon stock savings bank in a fiduciary capacity, nor shares held by another corporation if a majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of directors of such other corporation is held by the institution or Oregon stock savings bank shall be voted at any meeting or counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time. The prohibition of this subsection does not apply if, under the terms of a trust in which such shares are held, the manner in which such shares shall be voted may be determined by the trustee, by a donor or beneficiary of the trust or by some other person named in the trust, and such shares are actually voted in the manner determined or directed by the trustee, donor, beneficiary or other person so authorized.(3) A shareholder may vote either in person or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by the shareholder's duly authorized attorney in fact. No proxy shall be valid after 11 months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.(4) In electing each director for whose election the shareholder has a right to vote, every shareholder entitled to vote at such election shall have the right to vote, either in person or by proxy, the number of shares owned by the shareholder. If the articles of incorporation specifically permit cumulative voting, every shareholder shall have the right to cumulate the shareholder's votes either by giving one candidate as many votes as the number of such directors multiplied by the number of the shareholder's shares shall equal or by distributing such votes on the same principle among any number of such candidates.(5) Shares standing in the name of another domestic or foreign corporation, a limited liability company, a partnership or another entity may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the governing documents of the entity may prescribe or, in absence of such provision, as the board of directors or other governing body of the entity holding the shares may determine.(6) Shares held by a personal representative, administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be voted by such person, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into such person's name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by the trustee, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by the trustee without a transfer of the shares to the name of the trustee.(7) Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without a transfer into the receiver's name if authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was appointed.(8) Shares may be voted by a pledgee or attorney-in-fact of the shareholder if authorized by the pledge agreement or power of attorney and evidence of such authority is presented to the institution or Oregon stock savings bank upon request.(9) On and after the date on which written notice of redemption of shares has been mailed to the holders thereof and a sum sufficient to redeem such shares has been deposited with another institution or Oregon stock savings bank with irrevocable instruction and authority to pay the redemption price to the holders thereof upon surrender of certificates therefor, such shares shall not be entitled to vote on any matter and shall not be deemed to be outstanding shares. 1989 c.324 §47; 1997 c.631 §84
