§ 34-30-1050 — Voting rights; production of books of record; majority determination of questions.

Voting rights in the affairs of a state savings bank may be exercised by members and stockholders by voting either in person or by proxy. In the case of a mutual state savings bank, those entitled to vote are those who are members of record at the end of the calendar month next preceding the date of the meeting, except those who have ceased to be members. In the case of a stock saving bank, the directors may fix a date not more than sixty days and not fewer than ten days before the date set for the meeting as the record date as of which the stockholders of record are entitled to vote. Unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise, every stockholder of a stock state savings bank, if present in person or voting through a duly authorized proxy at a meeting of stockholders, is entitled to one vote for each share of voting stock recorded in his name on the books of the state savings bank on the record date as to each proposal presented at the meeting. The books of record of stockholders must be produced at any stockholders' meeting upon the request of a stockholder. A majority of all votes cast at a meeting of members or stockholders shall determine any question unless this chapter or the provisions of the South Carolina Business Corporation Act, Chapters 1 to 25 of Title 33, provides otherwise.
