BYLAWS
OF
CANNASYS, INC.
ARTICLE I
OFFICES
The corporation shall maintain a registered office within the state of Nevada and shall keep the street address of the registered office on file with the Nevada Secretary of State as required by Nevada law. The corporation also may have offices at such other places both within and without the state of Nevada as the board of directors may determine or the corporation’s business may require.
ARTICLE II
STOCKHOLDERS
Section 2.01 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held within 180 days after the end of the corporation’s fiscal year at such time as is designated by the board of directors and as is provided for in the notice of the meeting. If the election of directors shall not be held on the day designated herein for the annual meeting of the stockholders or at any adjournment thereof, the board of directors shall cause the election to be held at a special meeting of the stockholders as soon thereafter as may be convenient.
Section 2.02 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called at any time in the manner provided in the articles of incorporation. At any special meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been stated in the notice of such special meeting.
Section 2.03 Place of Meetings. The board of directors may designate any place, either within or without the state of Nevada, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting called by the board of directors. A waiver of notice signed by all stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting may designate any place, either within or without the state of Nevada, as the place for the holding of such meeting. If no designation is made, the place of meeting shall be at the corporation’s principal office.
Section 2.04 Notice of Meetings. The secretary or assistant secretary, if any, shall cause notice of the time, place, and purpose or purposes of all meetings of the stockholders (whether annual or special) to be mailed, at least 10 but not more than 60 days prior to the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote.
Section 2.05 Waiver of Notice. Any stockholder may waive notice of any meeting of stockholders (however called or noticed, whether or not called or noticed, and whether before, during, or after the meeting) by signing a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. Attendance at a meeting, in person or by proxy, shall constitute waiver of all defects of notice regardless of whether a waiver, consent, or approval is signed or any objections are made, unless attendance is solely for the purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. All such waivers, consents, or approvals shall be made a part of the minutes of the meeting.
Section 2.06 Fixing Record Date. For the purpose of determining: (a) stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting; (b) stockholders entitled to receive payment of any
1
dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or entitled to exercise any rights in respect to any change, conversion, or exchange of stock; or (c) stockholders of the corporation for any other lawful purpose, the board of directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, such date in any case to be not more than 60 days and, in case of a meeting of stockholders, not less than 10 days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of stockholders is to be taken. If no record date is fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting, the day preceding the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed shall be the record date. For any other purpose, the record date shall be the close of business on the date on which the resolution of the board of directors pertaining thereto is adopted. When a determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof. Failure to comply with this section shall not affect the validity of any action taken at a meeting of stockholders.
Section 2.07 Voting Lists. The corporation’s officers shall cause to be prepared from the stock ledger, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting or, if not so specified, at the corporation’s principal office. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder that is present. The original stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to which stockholders are entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list required by this section, or the books of the corporation or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
Section 2.08 Quorum. Stock representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the articles of incorporation. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such reconvened meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
Section 2.09 Vote Required. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the stockholders having a majority of the voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one on which, by express provision of the statutes of the state of Nevada or of the articles of incorporation, a different vote is required, in which case, such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.
Section 2.10 Voting of Stock. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, each stockholder shall, at every meeting of the stockholders, be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such stockholder, subject to the modification of such voting rights of any class or classes of the corporation’s capital stock by the articles of incorporation.
2
Section 2.11 Proxies. At each meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder entitled to vote shall be entitled to vote in person or by proxy; provided, however, that the right to vote by proxy shall exist only when the instrument authorizing such proxy to act shall have been executed in writing by the registered holder or holders of such stock, as the case may be, as shown on the stock ledger of the corporation or by his attorney thereunto duly authorized in writing. Such instrument authorizing a proxy to act shall be delivered at the beginning of such meeting to the secretary of the corporation or to such other officer or person who may, in the absence of the secretary, be acting as secretary of the meeting. In the event that any such instrument shall designate two or more persons to act as proxy, a majority of such persons present at the meeting, or if only one be present that one, shall (unless the instrument shall otherwise provide) have all of the powers conferred by the instrument on all persons so designated. Persons holding stock in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote the stock so held, and the persons whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote, unless the transfer by the pledgor in the corporation’s books and records shall have expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case the pledgee or his proxy may represent such stock and vote thereon. No proxy shall be voted or acted on after six months from its date, unless the proxy is coupled with an interest or unless the proxy provides for a longer period not to exceed seven years.
Section 2.12 Nomination of Directors. Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this section shall be eligible for election as directors. Nominations of persons for election to the corporation’s board of directors may be made at a meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected only: (a) by or at the direction of the board of directors; or (b) by any stockholder of the corporation entitled to vote for the election of directors at a meeting who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this section. Such nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the board of directors, shall be made by timely notice in writing to the secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered or mailed to and received at the corporation’s principal office not less than 30 days prior to the date of the meeting; provided, in the event that less than 40 days’ notice of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (y) as to each person whom such stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case, pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including each such person’s written consent to serve as a director if elected); and (z) as to the stockholder giving the notice: (i) the name and address of such stockholder as it appears on the corporation’s books; and (ii) the class and number of shares of the corporation’s capital stock that are beneficially owned by such stockholder. At the request of the board of directors, any person nominated by the board of directors for election as a director shall furnish to the secretary of the corporation that information required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice of nomination that pertains to the nominee. No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance with the provisions of this section. The officer of the corporation or other person presiding at the meeting shall, if the facts so warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with such provisions, and if such officer should so determine, such officer shall so declare to the meeting, and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.
Section 2.13 Inspectors of Election. There shall be appointed at least one inspector of the vote for each stockholders’ meeting. Such inspector shall first take and subscribe an oath or affirmation faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. Unless appointed in advance of any such meeting by the board of directors, an inspector shall be appointed for the meeting by the presiding officer. No director or candidate for the office of director shall be appointed as an inspector. The inspector shall be responsible for tallying and
3
certifying each vote required to be tallied and certified by him as provided in the resolution of the board of directors appointing him or in his appointment by the person presiding at such meeting, as the case may be.
Section 2.14 Election of Directors. At all meetings of the stockholders at which directors are to be elected, except as otherwise set forth in any preferred stock designation (as defined in the articles of incorporation), with respect to the right of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting. The election need not be by ballot unless any stockholder so demands before the voting begins. Except as otherwise provided by law, the articles of incorporation, any preferred stock designation, or these bylaws, all matters other than the election of directors submitted to the stockholders at any meeting shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast with respect thereto.
Section 2.15 Business at Annual Meeting. At any annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been brought before the meeting: (a) by or at the direction of the board of directors; or (b) by any stockholder of the corporation who is entitled to vote with respect thereto and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this section. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered or mailed to and received at the corporation’s principal office not less than 30 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, in the event that less than 40 days’ notice of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed. A stockholder’s notice to the secretary shall set forth as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting: (v) a brief description of the matter desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for presenting such matter at the annual meeting; (x) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation’s books, of the stockholder proposing such matter; (y) the class and number of shares of the corporation’s capital stock that are beneficially owned by such stockholder; and (z) any material interest of such stockholder in such matter. Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, no matter shall be brought before or conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance with the provisions of this section. The officer of the corporation or other person presiding at the annual meeting shall, if the facts so warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with such provisions, and such matter shall not be presented or voted on by the stockholders.
Section 2.16 Business at Special Meeting. At any special meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been stated in the notice of such special meeting.
Section 2.17 Written Consent to Action by Stockholders. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders that have not consented in writing.
Section 2.18 Procedure for Meetings. Meetings of the stockholders shall be conducted pursuant to such reasonable rules of conduct and protocol as the board of directors or the officer of the
4
corporation or other person presiding at the meeting may prescribe or if no such rules are prescribed, in accordance with the most recent published edition of Robert’s Rules of Order.
ARTICLE III
DIRECTORS
Section 3.01 General Powers. The corporation’s business shall be managed under the direction of its board of directors, which may exercise all such powers of the corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the articles of incorporation or by these bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.
Section 3.02 Number, Term, and Qualifications. The number of directors that shall constitute the board, subject to the limitations set forth in the articles of incorporation, shall be determined by resolution of a majority of the total number of directors if there were no vacancies (the “Whole Board”) or, if there are fewer directors than a majority of the Whole Board, by the unanimous consent of the remaining directors or by the stockholders at the annual meeting of the stockholders or a special meeting called for such purpose, except as provided in section 3.03 of this article, which such resolution shall be incorporated by this reference into and shall be a part of these bylaws. Each director elected shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified. Directors need not be residents of the state of Nevada or stockholders of the corporation.
Section 3.03 Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships. Unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum of the Whole Board, or by a sole remaining director. A director so chosen shall hold office for the unexpired term of such director’s predecessor in office and until his successor is duly elected and qualified or, if such vacancy is the result of an increase in the number of directors, until the next meeting of stockholders at which directors are elected. If there are no directors in office, then an election of directors may be held in the manner provided by statute.
Section 3.04 Regular Meetings. The board of directors may designate the time and place, either within or without the state of Nevada, for holding regular meetings without other notice than such designation.
Section 3.05 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the board of directors may be called by or at the request of the chairman of the board, president, or any two directors or, in the absence or disability of the president, by any vice-president. The person or persons authorized to call special meetings of the board of directors may fix any place, either within or without the state of Nevada, as the place for holding any special meeting of the board of directors called by them.
Section 3.06 Meetings by Telephone Conference Call. Members of the board of directors may participate in a meeting of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors by means of conference telephone or similar communication equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this section shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.
Section 3.07 Notice. Notice of any special meeting can be given at least 48 hours prior thereto by written notice delivered, if personally served; as of the date so sent, if transmitted by facsimile and receipt is confirmed by the facsimile operator of the recipient; as of the date so sent, if sent by electronic mail and receipt is acknowledged by the recipient; one day after the date so sent, if delivered by overnight
5
courier service; or three days after the date so mailed, if mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested. Each director shall register his or her physical and electronic addresses and text-enabled telephone number(s) with the corporate secretary for the purpose of receiving notices, and shall be responsible for providing the secretary with any necessary updates. Any director may waive notice of any meeting. Attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when a director attends a meeting solely for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. An entry of the service of notice given in the manner and at the time provided for in this section may be made in the minutes of the proceedings of the board of directors, and such entry, if read and approved at a subsequent meeting of the board of directors, shall be conclusive on the issue of notice.
Section 3.08 Quorum. A majority of the Whole Board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the board of directors, provided, that the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors if any action taken is approved by a majority of the required quorum for such meeting. If less than a majority is present at a meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.
Section 3.09 Manner of Acting. The act of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the board of directors, and individual directors shall have no power as such.
Section 3.10 Compensation. The directors and members of committees shall be compensated for their services in such amounts and manner and shall be reimbursed their expenses as authorized from time to time by resolution of the board of directors or a duly constituted committee thereof. No such compensation or reimbursement shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.
Section 3.11 Presumption of Assent. A director of the corporation who is present at a meeting of the board of directors at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting, unless he shall file his written dissent to such action with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof, or unless he shall forward such dissent by registered or certified mail to the secretary of the corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of such action.
Section 3.12 Resignations. A director may resign at any time by delivering a written resignation to the president, a vice president, the secretary, or assistant secretary, if any. The resignation shall become effective on giving of such notice, unless such notice specifies a later time for the effectiveness of such resignation.
Section 3.13 Written Consent to Action by Directors. Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the directors of the corporation, or any other action that may be taken at a meeting of the directors or of a committee, may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the directors or all of the members of the committee, as the case may be. Such consent shall have the same legal effect as a unanimous vote of all the directors or members of the committee.
Section 3.14 Removal. Subject to any limitations set forth in the articles of incorporation or the corporate statutes of the state of Nevada, at a meeting expressly called for that purpose, one or more
6
directors may be removed by a vote of a majority of the shares of outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote at an election of directors.
ARTICLE IV
OFFICERS
Section 4.01 Number. The officers of the corporation shall be a president, a secretary, a treasurer, and such other officers as may be appointed by the board of directors. The board of directors may elect, but shall not be required to elect, a chairman of the board and one or more vice-presidents, and the board of directors may appoint a general manager.
Section 4.02 Election, Term of Office, and Qualifications. The officers of the corporation shall be chosen in such manner and for such term as the board of directors may determine. Any one person may hold any two or more of such offices, except that the president shall not also be the secretary. No person holding two or more offices shall execute any instrument in the capacity of more than one office. The chairman of the board, if any, shall be and remain director of the corporation during the term of his office. No other officer need be a director.
Section 4.03 Subordinate Officers, etc. From time to time, the board of directors may appoint such other officers or agents as it deems advisable, each of whom shall have such title, hold office for such period, have such authority, and perform such duties as the board of directors may determine. The board of directors from time to time may delegate to any officer or agent the power to appoint any such subordinate officer or agents and to prescribe their respective titles, terms of office, authorities, and duties. Subordinate officers need not be stockholders or directors.
Section 4.04 Resignations. Any officer may resign at any time by delivering a written resignation to the board of directors, the president, or the secretary. Unless otherwise specified therein, such resignation shall take effect on delivery.
Section 4.05 Removal. Any officer may be removed from office at any special meeting of the board of directors called for that purpose or at a regular meeting by the vote of a majority of the directors, with or without cause.
