221.0706(3)(3) Rights of dissenter. A shareholder or beneficial shareholder entitled to dissent and obtain payment for his or her shares under ss. 221.0701 to 221.0718 may not challenge the corporate action creating his or her entitlement unless the action is unlawful or fraudulent with respect to the shareholder, beneficial shareholder or issuer bank.

221.0707(1)(1) Partial exercise of dissenters’ rights. A shareholder may assert dissenters’ rights as to fewer than all of the shares registered in his or her name only if the shareholder dissents with respect to all shares beneficially owned by any one person and notifies the bank in writing of the name and address of each person on whose behalf he or she asserts dissenters’ rights. The rights of a shareholder, who asserts dissenters’ rights under this subsection as to fewer than all of the shares registered in his or her name, are determined as if the shares as to which he or she dissents and his or her other shares were registered in the names of different shareholders.

221.0707(2)(2) Rights of beneficial shareholders. A beneficial shareholder may assert dissenters’ rights as to shares held on his or her behalf only if the beneficial shareholder does all of the following:

221.0708(1)(1) Action at shareholder meeting. If proposed corporate action creating dissenters’ rights under s. 221.0706 is submitted to a vote at a shareholders’ meeting, the meeting notice shall state that shareholders and beneficial shareholders are or may be entitled to assert dissenters’ rights under ss. 221.0701 to 221.0718 and shall be accompanied by a copy of those sections.

221.0708(2)(2) Action without shareholder vote. If corporate action creating dissenters’ rights under s. 221.0706 is authorized without a vote of shareholders, the bank shall notify, in writing and in accordance with s. 221.0103, all shareholders entitled to assert dissenters’ rights that the action was authorized and send them the dissenters’ notice described in s. 221.0710.

221.0709(1)(1) Method of asserting dissenters’ rights. If proposed corporate action creating dissenters’ rights under s. 221.0706 is submitted to a vote at a shareholders’ meeting, a shareholder or beneficial shareholder who wishes to assert dissenters’ rights shall do all of the following:

221.0709(1)(a)(a) Deliver to the issuer bank before the vote is taken written notice that complies with s. 221.0103 of the shareholder’s or beneficial shareholder’s intent to demand payment for his or her shares if the proposed action is effectuated.

221.0709(2)(2) Failure to comply. A shareholder or beneficial shareholder who fails to comply with sub. (1) is not entitled to payment for his or her shares under ss. 221.0701 to 221.0718.

221.0710(1)(1) When required. If a proposed corporate action creating dissenters’ rights under s. 221.0706 is authorized at a shareholders’ meeting, the bank shall deliver a written dissenters’ notice to all shareholders and beneficial shareholders who satisfied s. 221.0709 (1).

221.0710(2)(2) Timing and content of notice. The dissenters’ notice shall be sent no later than 10 days after the corporate action is authorized at a shareholders’ meeting or without a vote of shareholders, whichever is applicable, and all necessary regulatory approvals are obtained. The dissenters’ notice shall comply with s. 221.0103 and shall include or have attached all of the following:

221.0710(2)(a)(a) A statement indicating where the shareholder or beneficial shareholder must send the payment demand and where and when certificates for certificated shares must be deposited.

221.0710(2)(b)(b) For holders of uncertificated shares, an explanation of the extent to which transfer of the shares will be restricted after the payment demand is received.

221.0710(2)(c)(c) A form for demanding payment that includes the date of the first announcement to news media or to shareholders of the terms of the proposed corporate action and that requires the shareholder or beneficial shareholder asserting dissenters’ rights to certify whether he or she acquired beneficial ownership of the shares before that date.

221.0710(2)(d)(d) A date by which the bank must receive the payment demand, which may not be fewer than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the date on which the dissenters’ notice is delivered.

221.0711(1)(1) Manner of demanding payment. A shareholder or beneficial shareholder who is sent a dissenters’ notice described in s. 221.0710, or a beneficial shareholder whose shares are held by a nominee who is sent a dissenters’ notice described in s. 221.0710, must demand payment in writing and certify whether he or she acquired beneficial ownership of the shares before the date specified in the dissenters’ notice under s. 221.0710 (2) (c).
