Section 10A-2-8.62 Directors’ Action
Official statutory text
REPEALED IN THE 2019 REGULAR SESSION BY ACT 2019-94 EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2020. THIS IS NOT IN THE CURRENT CODE SUPPLEMENT.
(a) Directors’ action respecting a transaction is effective for purposes of Section 10A-2-8.61(b)(1) if the transaction received the affirmative vote of a majority, but no fewer than two, of those qualified directors on the board of directors or on a duly empowered committee of the board who voted on the transaction after either required disclosure to them, to the extent the information was not known by them, or compliance with subsection (b); provided that action by a committee is to be effective only if (1) all its members are qualified directors, and (2) its members are either all the qualified directors on the board or are appointed by the affirmative vote of a majority of the qualified directors on the board.
(b) If a director has a conflicting interest respecting a transaction but neither the director nor a related person of the director specified in Section 10A-2-8.60(3)(i) is a party to the transaction such that the director may not make the disclosure described in Section 10A-2-8.60(4)(ii), then disclosure is sufficient for purposes of subsection (a) if the director (1) discloses to the directors voting on the transaction the existence and nature of his or her conflicting interest and informs them of the character and limitations imposed by that duty before their vote on the transaction and (2) plays no part, directly or indirectly, in their deliberations or vote.
(c) A majority, but no fewer than two, of all the qualified directors on the board of directors, or on the committee, constitutes a quorum for purposes of action that complies with this section. Directors’ action that otherwise complies with this section is not affected by the presence or vote of a director who is not a qualified director.
(d) For purposes of this section, “qualified director” means, with respect to a director’s conflicting interest transaction, any director who does not have either (1) a conflicting interest respecting the transaction or (2) a familial, financial, professional, or employment relationship with a second director who does have a conflicting interest respecting the transaction, which relationship would, in the circumstances, reasonably be expected to exert an influence on the first director’s judgement when voting on the transaction.
