A. For the purposes of determining the holders of stock, capital accounts, and membership entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of the members, or in order to make a determination of the members, holders, or other persons for any other proper purpose, the bylaws may provide for a record date, not less than ten days nor more than forty days before the meeting or other event or transaction with regard to which the determination is to be made. This determination shall be made as of the close of business on such record date.
B. If the bylaws do not provide for a record date, the board of directors may fix such a date for each such determination within such time. If the board of directors fails to fix such a date, the record date for a meeting shall be the date on which the first notice of meeting is given.
C. Shares of stock or withdrawable accounts withdrawn or retired after such record date shall not be voted or counted in determining the number of shares outstanding. This Part shall be applicable to the dividend payments on capital stock, but dividends on withdrawable accounts shall be governed by R.S. 6:1207.
