　　CHAPTER 12 DISPOSITION OF ASSETS第十二章 公司資產(chǎn)的處理

　　§ 12.01. Disposition of assets not requiring shareholder approval不要求股東批準(zhǔn)的資產(chǎn)處理

　　§ 12.02. Shareholder approval of certain dispositions 股東對特定資產(chǎn)處理的批準(zhǔn)

　　§ 12.01. DISPOSITION OF ASSETS NOT REQUIRING SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL

　　不要求股東批準(zhǔn)的資產(chǎn)處理

　　No approval of the shareholders of a corporation is required, unless the articles of incorporation otherwise provide:

　　除非公司章程另有規(guī)定，下列處理公司資產(chǎn)的行為不需要股東的批準(zhǔn)：

　　(1)to sell, lease, exchange, or otherwise dispose of any or all of the corporation's assets in the usual and regular course of business;

　　(1) 在通常和常規(guī)的公司業(yè)務(wù)經(jīng)營過程中，出售、出租、交換或其他處理任何或所有的公司資產(chǎn)的行為;

　　(2) to mortgage, pledge, dedicate to the repayment of indebtedness (whether with or without recourse), or otherwise encumber any or all of the corporation's assets, whether or not in the usual and regular course of business;

If a corporation retains a business activity that represented at least 25 percent of total assets at the end of the most recently completed fiscal year, and 25 percent of either income from continuing operations before taxes or revenues from continuing operations for that fiscal year, in each case of the corporation and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, the corporation will conclusively be deemed to have retained a significant continuing business activity.

　　(b) A disposition that requires approval of the shareholders under subsection (a) shall be initiated by a resolution by the board of directors authorizing the disposition. After adoption of such a resolution, the board of directors shall submit the proposed disposition to the shareholders for their approval. The board of directors shall also transmit to the shareholders a recommendation that the shareholders approve the proposed disposition, unless the board of directors makes a determination that because of conflicts of interest or other special circumstances it should not make such a recommendation, in which case the board of directors shall transmit to the shareholders the basis for that determination.

　　(b) 依據(jù)(a)小節(jié)的規(guī)定要求獲得股東批準(zhǔn)的處理公司資產(chǎn)的行為應(yīng)由授權(quán)處理公司資產(chǎn)的董事會決議啟動。在這一決議被采納之后，董事會應(yīng)向股東提交一份處理提議書以獲得股東的批準(zhǔn)。董事會也應(yīng)向股東提交一份建議書，建議股東批準(zhǔn)該處理提議書，除非董事會決定由于利益沖突或其他特殊情況的存在，董事會不應(yīng)制作這樣的建議書，在這種情況下，董事會應(yīng)向股東說明其作出該決定的依據(jù)。

　　(c) The board of directors may condition its submission of a disposition to the shareholders under subsection (b) on any basis.

　　(c) 董事會也可以以任何理由，依據(jù)(b)小節(jié)的規(guī)定，視情況決定是否向股東提交公司資產(chǎn)處理書，

　　(d) If a disposition is required to be approved by the shareholders under subsection (a), and if the approval is to be given at a meeting, the corporation shall notify each shareholder, whether or not entitled to vote, of the meeting of shareholders at which the disposition is to be submitted for approval.

　　The notice shall state that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is to consider the disposition and shall contain a description of the disposition, including the terms and conditions thereof and the consideration to be received by the corporation.

　　(d) 依據(jù)(a)小節(jié)的規(guī)定，處理公司資產(chǎn)的行為要求股東通過會議批準(zhǔn)，則公司應(yīng)該通知所有的股東，不管其有沒有投票權(quán)，召開股東會議批準(zhǔn)董事會提交的處理公司資產(chǎn)的決議。該通知書應(yīng)說明，會議的目的或目的就是討論該項處理決定，并且通知書中還應(yīng)包含有對有關(guān)處理的情況說明，包括處理的條款和條件以及公司由此獲得的對價。

　　(e) Unless the articles of incorporation or the board of directors acting pursuant to subsection (c) requires a greater vote, or a greater number of votes to be present, the approval of a disposition by the shareholders shall require the approval of the shareholders at a meeting at which a quorum consisting of at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the disposition exists.

　　(e) 除非公司章程或董事會依據(jù)(c)小節(jié)的行為要求一個更多的投票或與會的更多票數(shù)，股東對公司資產(chǎn)處理應(yīng)獲得與會股東的批準(zhǔn)，在該會議上應(yīng)有包含有至少是對處理決定有投票權(quán)的多數(shù)票的法定人數(shù)。

　　(f) After a disposition has been approved by the shareholders under subsection (b), and at any time before the disposition has been consummated, it may be abandoned by the corporation without action by the shareholders, subject to any contractual rights of other parties to the disposition.

　　(f) 當(dāng)處理決定依據(jù)(b)小節(jié)的規(guī)定經(jīng)股東批準(zhǔn)，并且在處理行為圓滿完成之前的任何時候，公司可以不經(jīng)過股東，放棄該項處理決定，但是應(yīng)受參與處理的對方當(dāng)事人所享有的合同權(quán)利的限制。

　　(g) A disposition of assets in the course of dissolution under chapter 14 is not governed by this section.

　　(g) 依據(jù)14章的規(guī)定在公司解散時處理資產(chǎn)的行為不受本節(jié)的調(diào)整。

　　(h) The assets of a direct or indirect consolidated subsidiary shall be deemed the assets of the parent corporation for the purposes of this section.

　　(h) 就本節(jié)的規(guī)定而言，一個直接或間接地被統(tǒng)一的子公司的資產(chǎn)應(yīng)被認(rèn)為是母公司的資產(chǎn)。

　　(i) 決定股東有權(quán)獲得通知和有權(quán)在股東大會上按照要求評估權(quán)的公司決議投票行事的登記日;或(ii) 如果不召開股東大會，則該公司決議生效日之前的那日。

　　(3) (b)(1)小節(jié)的規(guī)定不予適用，在公司要求評估權(quán)的決議開始生效時，如果按照公司決議的條件，股東被要求為這些股票而接受除現(xiàn)金或任何公司任何種類或系列的股票或任何其他實體的財產(chǎn)權(quán)益之外的且符合(b)(1)所規(guī)定標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的東西，則其有權(quán)依據(jù)(a)小節(jié)享有評估權(quán)。

　　(i) 如果公司的股票或資產(chǎn)通過合并、股份交換或其他方式，正依據(jù)公司決議被某個人或某個人的會員獲取或轉(zhuǎn)化，該人：

　　(A) is, or at any time in the one-year period immediately preceding approval by the board of directors of the corporate action requiring appraisal rights was, the beneficial owner of 20 percent or more of the voting power of the corporation, excluding any shares acquired pursuant to an offer for all shares having voting power if such offer was made within one year prior to the corporate action requiring appraisal rights for consideration of the same kind and of a value equal to or less than that paid in connection with the corporate action; or

　　(A) 是，或是在董事會就要求評估權(quán)的公司決議作出前述批準(zhǔn)的一年內(nèi)的任何時候，擁有公司20%或20%以上投票權(quán)的股權(quán)受益人，這些投票權(quán)排除依據(jù)對所有有投票權(quán)的股票的報價所獲得的任何股票，如果該報價是在要求評估權(quán)的公司決議作出之前的一年內(nèi)提出的，是為獲得相同種類的對價和等于或少于就公司決議已支付的價值。

　　(B) directly or indirectly has, or at any time in the one-year period immediately preceding approval by the board of directors of the corporation of the corporate action requiring appraisal rights had, the power, contractually or otherwise, to cause the appointment or election of 25 percent or more of the directors to the board of directors of the corporation; or

　　(B) 直接或間接地，或在董事會就要求評估權(quán)的公司決議作出前述批準(zhǔn)的一年內(nèi)的任何時候，有權(quán)引起公司董事會25%或25%以上董事的任命或選舉，不論該權(quán)利是合同權(quán)利或其他權(quán)利;或

　　(ii) any of the shares or assets of the corporation are being acquired or converted, whether by merger, share exchange or otherwise, pursuant to such corporate action by a person, or by an affiliate of a person, who is, or at any time in the one-year period immediately preceding approval by the board of directors of the corporate action requiring appraisal rights was, a senior executive or director of the corporation or a senior executive of any affiliate thereof, and that senior executive or director will receive, as a result of the corporate action, a financial benefit not generally available to other shareholders as such, other than:

　　(ii) 公司的股票或資產(chǎn)正在被某人或某人的會員依據(jù)公司的決議，通過合并、股份交換或其他方式收購或轉(zhuǎn)化，該人是，或在董事會就要求評估權(quán)的公司決議作出前述批準(zhǔn)的一年內(nèi)的任何時候，是公司的高級主管或董事或公司任何會員的高級主管，并且該高級主管或董事將基于公司決議獲得并不普遍地適用于其他股東的經(jīng)濟(jì)利益，除了：

　　(A) employment, consulting, retirement or similar benefits established separately and not as part of or in contemplation of the corporate action; or

　　(A) 單獨確立的但是并不屬于公司決議的一部分或并不在公司決議計劃中的職業(yè)、咨詢、退休或類似利益;或

　　(B) employment, consulting, retirement or similar benefits established in contemplation of, or as part of, the corporate action that are not more favorable than those existing before the corporate action or, if more favorable, that have been approved on behalf of the corporation in the same manner as is provided in section 8.62; or

　　(B) 作為公司決議的一部分或在公司決議中的職業(yè)、咨詢、退休或類似利益，這些利益并不比那些在決議之前就存在的利益更為有利，或者如果這些利益是更為有利的，則該利益按照8.62節(jié)所規(guī)定的方式代表公司已被批準(zhǔn);

　　(C) in the case of a director of the corporation who will, in the corporate action, become a director of the acquiring entity in the corporate action or one of its affiliates, rights and benefits as a director that are provided on the same basis as those afforded by the acquiring entity generally to other directors of such entity or such affiliate.

　　(C) 在公司行為過程中，如果公司的董事將成為收購實體或其附屬實體的董事, 那么,其作為董事所享有的權(quán)利和利益。這些權(quán)利和利益與該收購實體及附屬實體普遍地提供給其他董事的權(quán)利和利益是建立在相同的基礎(chǔ)之上的。

　　(5) For the purposes of paragraph (4) only, the term "beneficial owner" means any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, or understanding, other than a revocable proxy, has or shares the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, shares, provided that a member of a national securities exchange shall not be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities held directly or indirectly by it on behalf of another person solely because such member is the record holder of such securities if the member is precluded by the rules of such exchange from voting without instruction on contested matters or matters that may affect substantially the rights or privileges of the holders of the securities to be voted. When two or more persons agree to act together for the purpose of voting their shares of the corporation, each member of the group formed thereby shall be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership, as of the date of such agreement, of all voting shares of the corporation beneficially owned by any member of the group.

　　(5) 僅就第(4)小段而言，"股權(quán)受益人"指的是直接或間接地通過合同、組織活動或合作備忘錄(可撤消代理人除外)，享有或與他人共享投票權(quán)或指示投票權(quán)的任何人，但是如果一個全國性證券交易所的股東按照該交易所的規(guī)則，在沒有獲得就那些有爭議事項或可能會在實質(zhì)上影響該證券持有人的權(quán)利或特權(quán)的事項的指示時不得投票，那么，該人則不應(yīng)被認(rèn)為是直接或間接地單獨代表他人持有這些證券的股權(quán)受益人，因為該股東是這些證券的記名股東。如果兩個或兩個以上的人協(xié)議就他們所享有的公司股份的投票集體行動，則由此形成的這一團(tuán)體中的任一股東自該協(xié)議起應(yīng)被認(rèn)為就該團(tuán)體的任何股東所享有的所有有表決權(quán)的股份，擁有既得的股份受益權(quán)。

　　(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of section 13.02, the articles of incorporation as originally filed or any amendment thereto may limit or eliminate appraisal rights for any class or series of preferred shares, but any such limitation or elimination contained in an amendment to the articles of incorporation that limits or eliminates appraisal rights for any of such shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of such amendment or that the corporation is or may be required to issue or sell thereafter pursuant to any conversion, exchange or other right existing immediately before the effective date of such amendment shall not apply to any corporate action that becomes effective within one year of that date if such action would otherwise afford appraisal rights.

　　(c) 雖然有13.02節(jié)的規(guī)定，但是最初歸檔的公司章程或其修正稿可以限制或免除任何種類或系列的優(yōu)先股的評估權(quán)，但是，對于那些在該修訂稿生效之前即發(fā)行售出的股票或在此之后公司被要求或可以被要求依據(jù)該修訂稿生效之前即存在的任何公司轉(zhuǎn)化、股份交換或其他權(quán)利而發(fā)行或出售的股票，公司章程的修訂稿中限制了股東就這些股票享有評估權(quán)，那么，如果任何公司行為是在修訂稿生效日后的一年內(nèi)生效，且該公司行為另行規(guī)定了評估權(quán)，則上述公司章程修訂稿對股東評估權(quán)的限制并不適用于該公司行為。

　　(d) A shareholder may not challenge a completed corporate action described in subsection (a), other than those subscribed in subsection (b)(3) and (4), unless such corporate action:

　　(1) was not effectuated in accordance with the applicable provisions of chapters 9, 10, 11 or 12 or the corporation's articles of incorporation, bylaws or board of directors' resolution authorizing the corporate action; or

　　(2) was procured as a result of fraud or material misrepresentation.

　　(d)除(b)(3)和(4)節(jié)所規(guī)定的公司行為之外，公司不得質(zhì)疑在(a)小節(jié)所規(guī)定的已完成的公司行為，除非：

　　(1) 依據(jù)第9、10、11、或12章的適用條款或公司章程或內(nèi)部規(guī)章細(xì)則或董事會批準(zhǔn)的決議，這些公司行為并沒有被完成;或

　　(2) 該公司行為是由于欺詐或?qū)嵸|(zhì)上的虛假陳述引起的。

　　§ 13.03. ASSERTION OF RIGHTS BY NOMINEES AND BENEFICIAL OWNERS

　　§ 13.03. 提名者和股權(quán)受益人的權(quán)利主張

　　(a) A record shareholder may assert appraisal rights as to fewer than all the shares registered in the record shareholder's name but owned by a beneficial shareholder only if the record shareholder objects with respect to all shares of the class or series owned by the beneficial shareholder and notifies the corporation in writing of the name and address of each beneficial shareholder on whose behalf appraisal rights are being asserted. The rights of a record shareholder who asserts appraisal rights for only part of the shares held of record in the record shareholder's name under this subsection shall be determined as if the shares as to which the record shareholder objects and the record shareholder's other shares were registered in the names of different record shareholders.

　　(a) 如果記名股東就作為受益權(quán)人的股東所擁有的全部任何種類或系列的股份持有異議，并且在以書面的形式將每一個這樣的作為受益權(quán)人的股東的姓名和地址通知給公司的情況下，可以就以記名股東的名義注冊的但是歸作為受益權(quán)人的股東所擁有的部分股份主張評估權(quán)。記名股東按照本節(jié)的規(guī)定就這些受益權(quán)人以其名義所持有的部分股份主張評估權(quán)的權(quán)利應(yīng)是確定的，就好象記名股東持有異議的這些股份與其所有的其他股份是以不同記名股東的名義登記的。

　　(b) A beneficial shareholder may assert appraisal rights as to shares of any class or series held on behalf of the shareholder only if such shareholder:

　　(1) submits to the corporation the record shareholder's written consent to the assertion of such rights no later than the date referred to in section 13.22(b)(2)(ii); and

　　(2) does so with respect to all shares of the class or series that are beneficially owned by the beneficial shareholder.

　　(b) 作為受益權(quán)人的股東可以就代表下列這些股東的任何種類或系列的股份主張權(quán)利，如果這些股東：

　　(1) 向公司提交了記名股東在不遲于13.22(b)(2)(ii)所規(guī)定的日期對這一權(quán)利主張的書面同意書;和

　　(2) 向公司提交了記名股東在不遲于13.22(b)(2)(ii)所規(guī)定的日期對由受益權(quán)人所有的全部種類或系列的股份的書面同意書。

　　§ 13.23. PERFECTION OF RIGHTS; RIGHT TO WITHDRAW 完善權(quán);撤回權(quán)

　　(a) A shareholder who receives notice pursuant to section 13.22 and who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must certify on the form sent by the corporation whether the beneficial owner of such shares acquired beneficial ownership of the shares before the date required to be set forth in the notice pursuant to section 13.22(b)(1). If a shareholder fails to make this certification, the corporation may elect to treat the shareholder's shares as after-acquired shares under section 13.25. In addition, a shareholder who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must execute and return the form and, in the case of certificated shares, deposit the shareholder's certificates in accordance with the terms of the notice by the date referred to in the notice pursuant to section 13.22(b)(2)(ii). Once a shareholder deposits that shareholder's certificates or, in the case of uncertificated shares, returns the executed forms, that shareholder loses all rights as a shareholder, unless the shareholder withdraws pursuant to subsection (b)。

　　(a) 依據(jù)13.22節(jié)的規(guī)定收取通知書的股東以及想要行使評估權(quán)的股東必須在公司所發(fā)送的表格上檢驗，在13.22(b)(1)節(jié)所要求的通知書上開列的日期之前，是否這些股份的受益權(quán)所有人已經(jīng)獲得了受益權(quán)。如果股東沒有作出這一檢驗，則公司可以依據(jù)13.25的規(guī)定將股東的股份認(rèn)作是以后收購的股份。另外，如果是證書股的情況下，想要行使評估權(quán)的股東必須簽署和返還這一表格，并且依據(jù)通知書上的條款，按照13.22(b)(2)(ii)節(jié)通知書所指定的日期提存股東的證書。如果是非證書股，一旦股東將其證書提存或返還了該簽署的表格，則那個股東喪失了作為股東所享有的全部權(quán)利，除非該股東依據(jù)(b)小節(jié)的規(guī)定撤回。

　　(b) A shareholder who has complied with subsection (a) may nevertheless decline to exercise appraisal rights and withdraw from the appraisal process by so notifying the corporation in writing by the date set forth in the appraisal notice pursuant to section 13.22(b)(2)(v). A shareholder who fails to so withdraw from the appraisal process may not thereafter withdraw without the corporation's written consent.

　　(c) A shareholder who does not execute and return the form and, in the case of certificated shares, deposit that shareholder's share certificates where required, each by the date set forth in the notice described in section 13.22(b), shall not be entitled to payment under this chapter.

　　(b) 已經(jīng)遵照(a)小節(jié)的作出行為的股東不可以拒絕行使評估權(quán)，并且在13.22(b)(2)(v)節(jié)所規(guī)定的評估權(quán)通知書上的日期從書面通知公司的評估權(quán)程序中撤出。沒有從評估權(quán)程序中撤出的股東，此后在沒有獲得公司書面的同意不得撤出。

　　(c) 如果是在證書股的情況下，沒有簽署和返還表格的股東將其股份證書提存至所規(guī)定的地方，每一股東在13.22(b)節(jié)所規(guī)定的評估權(quán)通知書上的日期不應(yīng)有權(quán)依據(jù)本章來作出支付。
