Section 10A-2A-7.25
Quorum and voting requirements for voting groups.
(a) Stock entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares of stock exists with respect to that matter. Unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, stock representing a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group constitutes a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter. Whenever this chapter requires a particular quorum for a specified action, the certificate of incorporation may not provide for a lower quorum.
(b) Once a share of stock is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be fixed for that adjourned meeting.
(c) If a quorum exists, action on a matter (other than the election of directors) by a voting group is approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the certificate of incorporation requires a greater number of affirmative votes.
(d) An amendment of the certificate of incorporation adding, changing, or deleting a quorum or voting requirement for a voting group greater than specified in subsection (a) or subsection (c) is governed by Section 10A-2A-7.27.
(e) The election of directors is governed by Section 10A-2A-7.28.
(f) Whenever a provision of this chapter provides for voting of classes or series as separate voting groups, the rules provided in Section 10A-2A-10.04(c) for amendments of the certificate of incorporation apply to that provision.
