Effective July 9, 2014, recent amendments to the Ohio Control Share Acquisition Act will require an Ohio public corporation wishing to opt out of the Act’s provisions by amending its articles of incorporation or code of regulations to first obtain approval of its board of directors and a majority shareholder vote. Other changes include a three-year “look back” provision for purposes of determining whether a shareholder is an “interested shareholder,” and additional exemptions for certain transactions under the Act which give more discretion to the board of directors.
