| How AI is used | From the certificate, the bylaws and the notice, list the persons calling the meeting and quote the clause, if any, that authorises them to call it. Do not send the notice. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether § 211(d) and the certificate or bylaws authorise those persons to call the meeting. A special-meeting notice must state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, under § 222(a), and must be given in the § 222(b) period unless the chapter provides otherwise. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: From the certificate, the bylaws and the notice, list the persons calling the meeting and quote the clause, if any, that authorises them to call it. Do not send the notice.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Authority to call is in the certificate or the bylaws, or in the board. A percentage of votes on the stock ledger does not, by itself, authorise the call.
- The meeting may be held solely by remote communication if the board authorises it under § 211(a).
