  • Fair value: as used in this Chapter shall be determined (a) As of the day prior to the day of the meeting of shareholders at which the proposed action was approved or as of the day prior to the day specified by the corporation for the tabulation of consents to such action if no meeting of shareholders was held. See New Jersey Statutes 14A:11-3
