Sec. 7.45.
Voting of shares by certain holders.
Shares of
a corporation held by the corporation in a fiduciary capacity may be voted
and shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares
entitled to vote at any given time.
Shares registered in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign,
may be voted by any officer agent, proxy or other legal representative authorized
to vote such shares under the law of incorporation of such corporation.
A corporation may treat the president or other person holding the position
of chief executive officer of such other corporation as authorized to vote
such shares, together with any other person indicated and any other holder
of an office indicated by the corporate shareholder to the corporation as
a person or an office authorized to vote such shares. Such persons and
offices indicated shall be registered by the corporation on the transfer
books for shares and included in any voting list prepared in accordance
with Section 7.30 of this Act.
Shares registered in the name of a deceased person, a minor ward or
a person under legal disability may be voted by his or her administrator,
executor, or court
appointed guardian, either in person or by proxy without a
transfer of such shares into the name of such administrator, executor,
or court appointed guardian. Shares registered in the name of a
trustee may be voted by him or her, either in person or by proxy.
Shares registered in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver,
and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such
receiver without the transfer thereof into his or her name if authority
so to do is contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver
was appointed.
A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such
shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee,
and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so
transferred.
