If\ntransmitted electronically, such notice is given when directed to the\nshareholder's electronic mail address as supplied by the shareholder to\nthe secretary of the corporation or as otherwise directed pursuant to\nthe shareholder's authorization or instructions. An affidavit of the\nsecretary or other person giving the notice or of a transfer agent of\nthe corporation that the notice required by this section has been given\nshall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts\ntherein stated.\n (b) When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, it shall not\nbe necessary, unless the by-laws require otherwise, to give any notice\nof the adjourned meeting if the time and place to which the meeting is\nadjourned and the means of electronic communications, if any, by which\nshareholders and proxyholders may participate in the proceedings of the\nmeeting and/or vote or grant proxies at the meeting are announced at the\nmeeting at which the adjournment is taken, and at the adjourned meeting\nany business may be transacted that might have been transacted on the\noriginal date of the meeting. However, if after the adjournment the\nboard fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the\nadjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record on the\nnew record date entitled to notice under paragraph (a).\n (c) Nothing required in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section shall\nlimit, restrict or supersede other forms of voting and participation.\n
