1. Whenever a compromise or arrangement or any plan of reorganization of the corporation is proposed between the corporation and its creditors, members or shareholders, the circuit court of Cole County by virtue of its general equity powers may, on application of the corporation or of any creditor, member or shareholder thereof, or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for the corporation, order a meeting of such creditors, members or shareholders as the case may be, as may be affected by the proposed compromise or arrangement or plan of reorganization, which shall be called in such manner as the court directs.
2. If, at this meeting, the compromise or arrangement or plan of reorganization is agreed to by or on behalf of the creditors, if affected thereby, holding two-thirds in amount of the claims against the corporation, and by or on behalf of the shareholders, if affected thereby, holding the majority of each class of capital stock, and by or on behalf of the members, if affected thereby, holding two-thirds in amount of the outstanding notes or other interest-bearing obligations of the corporation provided for in section 371.120, and if such agreement shall be further evidenced by the written acceptance of the creditors, shareholders and members duly filed in the court, the compromise or arrangement or plan of reorganization shall, if approved by the court as just and equitable, be binding on all the creditors, shareholders or members, as the case may be, who are affected thereby, and also on this corporation. All persons who become creditors, shareholders or members of the corporation are deemed to have become creditors, shareholders or members subject in all respects to this section, and the same shall be absolutely binding upon them. For the purposes of this section only, members are not deemed creditors and shall act under this section as a separate class.
