Title 17 Corporations, Partnerships and Associations

17-18-118. Shareholder lists.

(a) Notwithstanding W.S. 17-16-720 a qualified corporation in its bylaws may restrict access to the shareholder's list to a period beginning two (2) days after the notice of the meeting for which the list was prepared or ten (10) days before the date of the meeting whichever is less. (b) A qualified corporation in its bylaws may deny shareholders the right to copy the list of shareholders prior to the meeting provided that: (i) Arrangements are made for an independent firm to provide to shareholders any information any stockholder wants to send them relative to the matters to be considered at the meeting provided the stockholder pays for the mailing and provides the material in a timely fashion; and (ii) The list is made available at the shareholder's expense to any shareholder at or after the meeting who is bringing a legal challenge to the right of any other shareholder to vote at the meeting; and (iii) The list is available for inspection but not copying as provided by subsection (a) of this section and at the meeting. The making of handwritten copies by the shareholder or his attorney of the names and addresses of individual shareholders shall not be construed as copying within the meaning of this subsection. (c) A qualified corporation may take any other steps it deems reasonable or necessary to prevent the use of its shareholder lists for purposes not related to issues under consideration at a shareholder meeting.
