After fixing the record date for a meeting, an alphabetical list of the names of all shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting, arranged by voting group, with the address of and the number, class, and series, if any, of shares held by each, shall be prepared.

If, however, following the adjournment, the board fixes a new record date for the reconvened meeting, a notice of the reconvened meeting shall be given, in compliance with Section 4 of this Article II, to each shareholder of record on the new record date entitled to vote at such meeting. After a quorum has been established at a shareholders’ meeting, the subsequent withdrawal of shareholders, so as to reduce the number of shares entitled to vote at the meeting below the number required for a quorum, shall not affect the validity of any action taken at the meeting or any adjournment thereof.
