Text

(a) As used in this act and in this section:
(i) "Appointment" means the grant of authority to
vote;
(ii) "Appointment form" means the document appointing
the proxy;
(iii) "Proxy" means the person to whom the authority
to vote is granted.
(b) Unless the articles or bylaws prohibit or limit proxy
voting, a member may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act
for the member by signing an appointment form either personally
or by an attorney-in-fact.
(c) An appointment of a proxy is effective when received
by the secretary or other officer or agent authorized to
tabulate votes. An appointment is valid for eleven (11) months
unless a different period is expressly provided in the
appointment form; provided however that no proxy shall be valid
for more than three (3) years from its date of execution.
(d) An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the member.
(e) The death or incapacity of the member appointing a
proxy does not affect the right of the corporation to accept the
proxy's authority unless notice of the death or incapacity is
received by the secretary or other officer or agent authorized
to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises authority under the
appointment.
(f) Appointment of a proxy is revoked by the person
appointing the proxy:
(i) Attending any meeting and voting in person; or
(ii) Signing and delivering to the secretary or other
officer or agent authorized to tabulate proxy votes either a
writing stating that the appointment of the proxy is revoked or
a subsequent appointment form.
(g) Subject to W.S. 17-19-727 and any express limitation
on the proxy's authority appearing on the face of the
appointment form, a corporation is entitled to accept the
proxy's vote or other action as that of the member making the
appointment.
