When a determination of Shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of Shareholders has been made as provided in this section, the determination shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting, except when (i) the determination has been made through the closing of the transfer books and the stated period of the closing has expired or (ii) the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the record date fixed for the original meeting, in either of which case a new record date shall be determined under this Section.
