1. Preservation of appraisal rights if action taken at a meeting. If a proposed corporate action requiring appraisal rights under sections 1302 to 1304 is submitted to a vote at a shareholders' meeting, a shareholder who wishes to assert appraisal rights with respect to any class or series of shares:
A. Shall deliver to the corporation before the vote is taken written notice of the shareholder's intent to demand payment if the proposed action is effectuated; and
B. May not vote, or cause or permit to be voted, any shares of the class or series in favor of the proposed action.
2. Preservation of appraisal rights if action taken by consent. If a corporate action specified in section 1302 is to be approved by less than unanimous written consent, a shareholder who wishes to assert appraisal rights with respect to any class or series of shares may not sign a consent in favor of the proposed action with respect to that class or series of shares.
3. Effect of failure to preserve. A shareholder who fails to satisfy the requirements of subsection 1 or 2 is not entitled to payment under this chapter.
