Quorum
and voting.
(1)
Unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws require a greater number or a
lesser number than the number authorized under subsection (2) of this section,
a quorum of a board of directors consists of a majority of the number of
directors in office immediately before the meeting begins.
(2) The articles
of incorporation or bylaws may authorize a quorum of a board of directors to
consist of no fewer than one-third of the number of directors in office
immediately before a meeting begins.
(3) If a quorum
is present when a vote is taken, the affirmative vote of a majority of
directors present when the act is taken is the act of the board of directors
unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws require the vote of a greater
number of directors. A director is considered present regardless of whether the
director votes or abstains from voting. Each director has one vote and may not
vote by proxy.
(4) A director
who is present at a meeting of the board of directors or a committee of the
board of directors when corporate action is taken is deemed to have assented to
the action taken unless:
(a) The director
objects at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon the directors
arrival, to holding the meeting or transacting the business at the meeting;
(b) The directors
dissent or abstention from the action taken is entered in the minutes of the
meeting; or
(c) The director
delivers written notice of dissent or abstention to the presiding officer of
the meeting before the meetings adjournment or to the corporation immediately
after the meeting adjourns. The right of dissent or abstention is not available
to a director who votes in favor of the action taken. [1989 c.1010 §86; 1991
