(1) A corporation may:
(a) Issue fractions of a share or pay in money the value of
fractions of a share;
(b) Arrange for disposition of fractional shares by the
shareholders;
(c) Issue scrip in registered or bearer form entitling the
holder to receive a full share upon surrendering enough scrip to
equal a full share.
(2) Each certificate representing scrip must be
conspicuously labeled "scrip" and must contain the information
required by RCW 23B.06.250(2).
(3) The holder of a fractional share is entitled to exercise
the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote, to
receive dividends, and to participate in the assets of the
corporation upon liquidation. The holder of scrip is not
entitled to any of these rights unless the scrip provides for
them.
(4) The board of directors may approve the issuance of scrip
subject to any condition considered desirable, including:
(a) That the scrip will become void if not exchanged for
full shares before a specified date; and
(b) That the shares for which the scrip is exchangeable may
be sold and the proceeds paid to the scripholders.
