48-58-205. Quorum and voting.
(a)
Except as otherwise provided in chapters 51-68 of this title, the charter
or bylaws, a quorum of a board of directors consists of a majority of the
directors in office immediately before a meeting begins. In no event may the
charter or bylaws authorize a quorum of fewer than the greater of one third
(1/3) of the number of directors in office or two (2) directors. When a quorum
is once present to organize a meeting, a meeting may be later adjourned despite
the absence of a quorum caused by the subsequent withdrawal of any of those
present.
(b)
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 unless chapters 51-68 of
this title, the charter or bylaws require the vote of a greater number of
directors.
(c)
A director who is present at a meeting of the board of directors when
corporate action is taken is deemed to have assented to the action taken unless:
(1) The director objects at
the beginning of the meeting (or promptly upon the director's arrival) to
holding it or transacting business at the meeting;
(2) The director's dissent
or abstention from the action taken is entered in the minutes of the meeting; or
(3) The director delivers
written notice of the director's dissent or abstention to the presiding officer
of the meeting before its adjournment or to the corporation immediately after
adjournment of the meeting. The right of dissent or abstention is not available
to a director who votes in favor of the action taken.
