2021 New York Laws BNK - Banking Article 15 - General Provisions Applicable to Banking Stock Corporations, Limited Liability Investment Companies, and Limited Liability Trust Companies Title 6 - Stockholders 6015 - Written Consent of Stockholders, Subscribers or Incorporators Without a Meeting.

§ 6015.  Written consent of stockholders, subscribers or incorporators   without a meeting. 1.  Whenever  under  this  chapter  stockholders  are   required  or  permitted  to  take any action by vote, such action may be   taken without a meeting on written consent, setting forth the action  so   taken,  signed by the holders of all outstanding shares entitled to vote   thereon. This subdivision shall not be construed to alter or modify  the   provisions   of   any  section  or  any  provision  in  an  organization   certificate not inconsistent with this chapter under which  the  written   consent of the holders of less than all outstanding shares is sufficient   for corporate action.2. Written consent thus given by the holders of all outstanding shares   entitled  to  vote  shall  have  the  same effect as a unanimous vote of   stockholders and any certificate with respect to  the  authorization  or   taking of any such action which is to be delivered to the superintendent   shall recite that the authorization was by unanimous written consent.3.  When there are no stockholders of record, such action may be taken   on the  written  consent  signed  by  a  majority  in  interest  of  the   subscribers  for  shares whose subscriptions have been accepted or their   successors in interest or, if no subscription has been accepted, on  the   written  consent  signed  by  a  majority  of  the incorporators. If any   incorporator dies or is for any reason  unable  to  act,  the  other  or   others  may act. If there is no incorporator able to act, any person for   whom an incorporator was acting as agent may act in  his  stead,  or  if   such  other  person  also  dies  or is for any reason unable to act, his   legal representative may act.

An  action  may  be   brought  in  the  right  of  a  corporation to procure a judgment in its   favor, by a holder of shares or of a beneficial interest in such shares.2. In any such action, it shall be made to appear that  the  plaintiff   is such a holder at the time of bringing the action and that he was such   a  holder  at the time of the transaction of which he complains, or that   his shares or his interest therein devolved upon  him  by  operation  of   law.3.

Such  action  shall  not  be discontinued, compromised or settled,   without the approval of the court having jurisdiction of the action.  If   the court shall determine that the interest of the stockholders  of  any   class  or  classes  thereof  will  be  substantially  affected  by  such   discontinuance, compromise, or settlement, the court, in its discretion,   may direct that notice, by publication or otherwise, shall be  given  to   the  stockholders  or  class  or  classes  thereof  whose  interests  it   determines will be so affected; if notice is so directed  to  be  given,   the  court  may determine which one or more of the parties to the action   shall bear the expense of giving the same, in such amount as  the  court   shall  determine and find to be reasonable in the circumstances, and the   amount of such expense shall be awarded as special costs of  the  action   and recoverable in the same manner as statutory taxable costs.5. If the action on behalf of the corporation was successful, in whole   or  in  part, or if anything was received by the plaintiff or plaintiffs   or a claimant or claimants as the result of a  judgment,  compromise  or   settlement of an action or a claim, the court may award the plaintiff or   plaintiffs,   claimant  or  claimants,  reasonable  expenses,  including   reasonable attorney's fees, and shall direct him or them to  account  to   the  corporation for the remainder of the proceeds so received by him or   them. This subdivision shall not apply to any judgment rendered for  the   benefit  of  injured  stockholders only and limited to a recovery of the   loss or damage sustained by them.

The amount of such security may thereafter from time to time be   increased  or  decreased  in  the  discretion  of   the   court   having   jurisdiction  of such action upon showing that the security provided has   or may become inadequate or excessive.
