Shareholders requesting payment for their shares cannot withdraw their request unless the company agrees, with exceptions for cancellations by the company or regulatory bodies. The corporation typically covers appraisal costs unless the fair value is close to the original offer, in which case the shareholder may bear the costs. Dissenting shareholders must submit their stock certificates within ten days of requesting payment to maintain their rights, and failure to do so may result in the termination of those rights.

SECTION 83:

If a shareholder requests payment for their shares, they can’t take back that request unless
the company agrees. However, if the company cancels the action that led to the payment request, or if
a regulatory body says the shareholder isn’t eligible for this payment, the request is automatically
canceled. In that case, the shareholder keeps their shares as before, and they’ll also receive any
dividends they would have gotten during that time.

GENERAL RULE:

Once a dissenting stockholder demands payment for their shares, they can’t simply change their mind
and withdraw that request. The only way they can take back their demand is if the company agrees to
it. Otherwise, their decision to seek payment is final.

EXCEPTIONS:

SECTION 84:

The corporation generally has to cover the costs of determining the fair value of a
stockholder's shares. However, if the appraisers find that the fair value is close to what the corporation
initially offered, then the stockholder must pay these costs instead. If a stockholder takes legal action
to get this fair value, the corporation will usually pay all the costs, unless the stockholder’s refusal to
accept the original payment offer was unreasonable.

GENERAL RULE & EXCEPTION:

WHO BEARS THE APPRAISAL COST:

 If corp.
 If the price the corporation offered to the dissenting stockholder is less than the fair
value determined by the appraisers, the corporation may have to cover the costs of
the appraisal.
 If a dissenting stockholder files a lawsuit to recover the fair value of their shares, and
the court finds their refusal of the corporation's payment offer to be justified, the
corporation will likely bear the costs of the action.

 If dissenting stockholder
 The dissenting stockholder is responsible for the appraisal costs in this case because
the corporation’s original offer was close to the fair value determined by the
appraisers.
 If the dissenting stockholder files a lawsuit and the court finds that their refusal to
accept the payment was unjustified, then the stockholder will be responsible for the
costs associated with the legal action.

SECTION 85:

A dissenting stockholder must submit their stock certificates to the corporation within ten days
of demanding payment for their shares so that the corporation can mark them as dissenting shares. If
the stockholder fails to do this, the corporation has the option to terminate the stockholder's rights
under the relevant law. This means that timely submission of the certificates is crucial to maintain the
dissenting rights associated with their shares.

When a dissenting stockholder transfers shares, they lose their dissenting rights. The new
owner gains regular stockholder rights, including accrued dividends.

How the right of appraisal is exercised, as well as the implications of the right of appraisal?
(brief explanation)

1. Stockholders who oppose a corporate action have the right to request the fair value of their
shares within 30 days of the vote. If they don’t submit this request on time, they forfeit this
right.

2. It is when voting and dividend rights are suspended once a stockholder requests payment for
their shares, remaining on hold until the corporation either completes the purchase or
abandons the action

3. If no agreement on the share value is reached within 60 days, three impartial appraisers will
determine it. The corporation must pay the final amount within 30 days, and the stockholder
must transfer the shares.

4. A stockholder must submit their stock certificate within 10 days and failure to comply may
terminate their rights. If transferred, the dissenting rights cease, and the transferee assumes
regular stockholder rights, including dividends.

5. Upon implementation of the corporate action, the corporation shall pay the stockholder the fair
value of their shares as of the day before the vote, excluding any value changes due to the
action.
