HRS §414D-105

How members must be told about meetings

A corporation must tell its members about meetings in a fair and reasonable way, following its own rules. Notice is fair if it is sent 10 to 60 days before the meeting and includes the place, date, time, and what will be discussed. If a meeting is postponed, no new notice is needed if the new date is announced at the old meeting.

The statute, as written — Notice of meeting

(a) A corporation shall give notice consistent with its bylaws of meetings of members in a fair and reasonable manner. (b) Any notice that conforms to the requirements of subsection (c) is fair and reasonable, but other means of giving notice may also be fair and reasonable when all the circumstances are considered; provided that notice of matters referred to in subsection (c)(2) shall be given as provided in subsection (c). (c) Notice shall be fair and reasonable if: (1) The corporation notifies its members of the place, date, and time of each annual, regular, and special meeting of members no fewer than ten or more than sixty days before the meeting date; (2) Notice of an annual or regular meeting includes a description of any matter or matters that must be approved by the members under sections 414D-150, 414D-164, 414D-182, 414D-202, 414D-222, 414D-241, and 414D-242; and (3) Notice of a special meeting includes a description of the matter or matters for which the meeting is called. (d) Unless the bylaws require otherwise, if an annual, regular, or special meeting of members is adjourned to a different date, time, or place, notice need not be given of the new date, time, or place, if the new date, time, or place is announced at the meeting before adjournment. If a new record date for the adjourned meeting is or must be fixed under section 414D-107, however, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given under this section to the members of record as of the new record date.
