Statute Text
Regular meetings of directors; rules; quorum; notice; meetings using
communications equipment.
(1) The board of directors of a banking institution shall hold regular
meetings. The Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services may
specify by rule, in accordance with ORS 183.315, 183.330, 183.335 and 183.341
to 183.410, the minimum frequency with which a board of directors of a banking
institution must meet.
(2) A quorum at
any meeting of the board of directors consists of:
(a) If the
banking institution has a fixed board size, a majority of the members of the
whole board.
(b) If the
banking institution has a variable-range board size, a majority of the number
of directors prescribed or, if no number is prescribed, a majority of the
number in office immediately before the meeting begins.
(3) If less than
a quorum of directors is present at a meeting, the directors may adjourn until
the next meeting.
(4) If a quorum
is present when a vote is taken, the affirmative vote of a majority of
directors present is the act of the board of directors unless the articles of
incorporation or bylaws require the vote of a greater number of directors.
(5) Meetings of
the board of directors, regular or special, may be held either within or
outside this state.
(6) Meetings of
the board of directors must be held upon such notice as is prescribed in the
bylaws. A directors attendance at a meeting constitutes a waiver of notice of
the meeting, except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose
of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not
lawfully called or convened. The notice or waiver of notice of a meeting of the
board of directors does not need to specify either the business to be
transacted at or the purpose of the meeting unless required by the bylaws or by
law.
(7) Unless the
articles of incorporation or bylaws provide otherwise, members of the board of
directors of a banking institution or any committee designated by the board may
hold a meeting of the board or committee by means of conference telephone or
similar communications equipment that allows all persons participating in the
meeting to hear each other. Participation in a meeting under this subsection
constitutes presence in person at the meeting. [Amended by 1963 c.166 §1; 1973
