If the articles of incorporation or the bylaws so provide, the board of directors may adopt by resolution a procedure whereby a shareholder of the corporation may certify in writing to the corporation that all or a portion of the shares registered in the name of such shareholder are held for the account of a specified person or persons. The resolution shall set forth:
A. the classification of shareholder who may certify;
B. the purpose or purposes for which the certification may be made;
C. the form of certification and information to be contained therein;
D. if the certification is with respect to a record date or closing of the stock transfer books within which the certification must be received by the corporation; and
E. such other provisions with respect to the procedure as are deemed necessary or desirable. Upon receipt by the corporation of a certification complying with the procedure, the persons specified in the certification shall be deemed, for the purpose or purposes set forth in the certification, to be the holders of record of the number of shares specified in place of the shareholder making the certification.
