Specify Procedure Ratify Defective Corporate Actions

The act provides a statutory procedure for the ratification or validation of corporate actions that may not have been properly authorized and for shares that may not have been properly issued. The statutory ratification procedure supplements common-law ratification and is available only when the board of directors specifies the nature of the defective authorization. Prompt judicial review and validation of the ratification process is available when a listed person claims to be substantially and adversely affected by the ratification.
