  1. Except as provided in subsection (d) of this Code section or the articles or in bylaws adopted by the shareholders, a majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders.
  2. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number, or voting by classes, is required by this chapter, or the articles, or bylaws.
  3. When a quorum is once present to organize a meeting, the shareholders present may continue to do business at the meeting or at any adjournment thereof, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.
  4. If a meeting cannot be organized for lack of a quorum, those present may adjourn the meeting to such time and place as they may determine. In the case of a meeting for the election of directors which is twice adjourned for lack of a quorum, those present at the second of such adjourned meetings, of which notice has been given in writing to shareholders pursuant to Code Section 7-1-6, shall constitute a quorum for the election of directors without regard to the other quorum requirements of this Code section, the articles, or bylaws.

(Code 1933, § 41A-2006, enacted by Ga. L. 1974, p. 705, § 1.)
