§ 12372 Director Election Duties

Key Takeaways

  • •It doesn’t add new rules or limit the ones in Section 12371.
  • •If you’re a director, follow Section 12371 for elections or nominations.

Example

A company is voting for new directors, and one director tries to hide information about a candidate.
