Special meetings of shareholders shall be called and held as provided in the bylaws of the savings bank. At any meeting, each shareholder entitled to vote shall be entitled to 1 vote for each share held by him or her. A shareholder may vote at any meeting of the savings bank by written proxy.
(2) Persons holding shares of stock of a savings bank in a fiduciary capacity are entitled to vote the shares so held, unless the trust instrument contains a provision to the contrary. Persons whose shares are pledged are entitled to vote unless in the transfer by the pledgor on the books of the savings bank he or she has expressly empowered the pledgee to vote the shares, in which case only the pledgee or his or her proxy may vote the shares.
