53-11-24. Fractional shares.

A.     A corporation may:   

(1)     issue fractions of a share, either represented by a certificate or uncertificated;   

(2)     arrange for the disposition of fractional interests by those entitled thereto;   

(3)     pay in money the fair value of fractions of a share as of the time when those entitled to receive such fractions are determined; or   

(4)     issue scrip in registered or bearer form which shall entitle the holder to receive a certificate for a full share or an uncertificated full share upon the surrender of such scrip aggregating a full share.   

B.     A certificate for a fractional share or an uncertificated fractional share shall, but scrip shall not unless otherwise provided therein, entitle the holder to exercise voting rights, to receive dividends thereon and to participate in any of the assets of the corporation in the event of liquidation. The board of directors may cause scrip to be issued subject to the condition that it shall become void if not exchanged for certificates representing full shares or uncertificated full shares before a specified date, or subject to the condition that the shares for which the scrip is exchangeable may be sold by the corporation and the proceeds thereof distributed to the holders of the scrip, or subject to any other conditions which the board of directors may deem advisable.
