Section 10A-2A-13.03 - Assertion of rights by nominees and beneficial stockholders.

(a) A record stockholder may assert appraisal rights as to fewer than all the shares of stock registered in the record stockholder's name but owned by a beneficial stockholder or a voting trust beneficial owner only if the record stockholder objects with respect to all shares of stock of a class or series owned by the beneficial stockholder or the voting trust beneficial owner and notifies the corporation in writing of the name and address of each beneficial stockholder or voting trust beneficial owner on whose behalf appraisal rights are being asserted. The rights of a record stockholder who asserts appraisal rights for only part of the stock held of record in the record stockholder's name under this subsection shall be determined as if the stock as to which the record stockholder objects and the record stockholder's other shares of stock were registered in the names of different record stockholders.

(b) A beneficial stockholder and a voting trust beneficial owner may assert appraisal rights as to stock of any class or series held on behalf of the stockholder only if the stockholder:

(1) submits to the corporation the record stockholder's written consent to the assertion of appraisal rights no later than the date referred to in Section 10A-2A-13.22(b)(2)(ii); and

(2) does so with respect to all stock of the class or series that is beneficially owned by the beneficial stockholder or the voting trust beneficial owner.
