(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 director’s arrival, to holding the meeting or transacting the business at the meeting;

(b) The director’s 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 meeting’s 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 c.231 §4; 2019 c.174 §64]
