Removal of directors by shareholders.
Status: in_force

The shareholders may remove 1 or more directors with or without cause unless the articles of incorporation provide that directors may be removed only for cause.

If holders of a class or series of stock or of bonds are entitled by the articles to elect 1 or more directors, this section applies, with respect to removal of a director so elected, to the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of that class or series of stock or the holders of those bonds.
