96 (1) Notice of the time and place of a meeting of shareholders shall be sent, in the case of an offering corporation, not less than twenty-one days and, in the case of any other corporation, not less than ten days, but, in either case, not more than fifty days, before the meeting, (a)  to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting; (b)  to each director; and (c)  to the auditor of the corporation.  R.S.O. 1990, c. B.16, s. 96 (1). When notice is not required to specify place of meeting (1.1) Despite subsection (1), a notice of a meeting of shareholders is not required to specify a place of the meeting if the meeting is to be held entirely by one or more telephonic or electronic means. 2023, c. 9, Sched. 4, s. 4 (1). Instructions re attending meeting by telephonic, etc. means (1.2) If a person may attend a meeting of shareholders by telephonic or electronic means, the notice of the meeting must include instructions for attending and participating in the meeting by the telephonic or electronic means that will be made available for the meeting, including, if applicable, instructions for voting by such means at the meeting. 2023, c. 9, Sched. 4, s. 4 (1). Idem (2) A notice of a meeting is not required to be sent to shareholders who were not registered on the records of the corporation or its transfer agent on the record date determined under subsection 95 (2) or (3), but failure to receive a notice does not deprive a shareholder of the right to vote at the meeting.  R.S.O. 1990, c. B.16, s. 96 (2). Adjourned meeting (3) If a meeting of shareholders is adjourned by one or more adjournments for an aggregate of less than 30 days, it is not necessary, unless the by-laws otherwise provide, to give notice of the adjourned meeting other than by announcement of all of the following at the time of an adjournment: 1.  The time of the continued meeting. 2.  If applicable, the place of the continued meeting. 3.  If applicable, instructions for attending and participating in the continued meeting by the telephonic or electronic means that will be made available for the meeting, including, if applicable, instructions for voting by such means at the meeting. 2023, c. 9, Sched. 4, s. 4 (2). Idem (4) If a meeting of shareholders is adjourned by one or more adjournments for an aggregate of thirty days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as for an original meeting but, unless the meeting is adjourned by one or more adjournments for an aggregate of more than ninety days, section 111 does not apply.  R.S.O. 1990, c. B.16, s. 96 (4). Special business (5) All business transacted at a special meeting of shareholders and all business transacted at an annual meeting of shareholders, except consideration of the minutes of an earlier meeting, the financial statements and auditor’s report, election of directors and reappointment of the incumbent auditor, shall be deemed to be special business.  R.S.O. 1990, c. B.16, s. 96 (5). Idem (6) Notice of a meeting of shareholders at which special business is to be transacted shall state or be accompanied by a statement of, (a)  the nature of that business in sufficient detail to permit the shareholder to form a reasoned judgment thereon; and (b)  the text of any special resolution or by-law to be submitted to the meeting.  R.S.O. 1990, c. B.16, s. 96 (6). Transition (7) For clarity, this section, as it read immediately before the day subsection 4 (3) of Schedule 4 to the Less Red Tape, Stronger Economy Act, 2023 comes into force, continues to apply to a notice that was given before that day in respect of a meeting of shareholders to be held on or after that day. 2023, c. 9, Sched. 4, s. 4 (3).
