2023 Oklahoma Statutes › Title 18. Corporations › §18-1012. Organization meeting of incorporators or directors named in certificate of incorporation.

ORGANIZATION MEETING OF INCORPORATORS OR DIRECTORS NAMED IN CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
A. After the filing of the certificate of incorporation, an organization meeting of the incorporator or incorporators, or of the board of directors if the initial directors were named in the certificate of incorporation, shall be held either within or without this state at the call of a majority of the incorporators or directors, as the case may be, for the purposes of adopting bylaws, electing directors if the meeting is of the incorporators, to serve or hold office until the first annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors are elected and qualify, electing officers if the meeting is of the directors, doing any other or further acts to perfect the organization of the corporation, and transacting such other business as may come before the meeting.
B. The persons calling the meeting shall give to each other incorporator or director, as the case may be, at least two (2) days’ notice thereof in writing or by electronic transmission by any usual means of communication, which notice shall state the time, place and purposes of the meeting as fixed by the persons calling it. Notice of the meeting need not be given to anyone who attends the meeting or who signs a waiver of notice either before or after the meeting.
C. Any action permitted to be taken at the organization meeting of the incorporators or directors, as the case may be, may be taken without a meeting if each incorporator or director, where there is more than one, or the sole incorporator or director where there is only one, consents thereto in writing or by electronic transmission. Any person whether or not then an incorporator or director may provide, whether through instruction to an agent or otherwise, that a consent to action will be effective at a future time including a time determined upon the happening of an event, no later than sixty (60) days after such instruction is given or such provision is made and such consent shall be deemed to have been given for purposes of this subsection at such effective time so long as such person is then an incorporator or director, as the case may be, and did not revoke the consent prior to such time. Any such consent shall be revocable prior to its becoming effective.
D. If any incorporator is not available to act, then any person for whom or on whose behalf the incorporator was acting directly or indirectly as employee or agent may take any action that such incorporator would have been authorized to take under this section or Section 1011 of this title; provided, that any instrument signed by such other person, or any record of the proceedings of a meeting in which such person participated, shall state that such incorporator is not available and the reason therefor, that such incorporator was acting directly or indirectly as employee or agent for or on behalf of such person, and that such person’s signature on such instrument or participation in such meeting is otherwise authorized and not wrongful.
