§ 4-33-831. Director conflict of interest.

A conflict of interest transaction is a transaction with the corporation in which a director of the corporation has a direct or indirect interest. A conflict of interest transaction is not voidable or the basis for imposing liability on the director if any of the following is true: the transaction was fair to the corporation at the time it was entered into; the material facts of the transaction and the director's interest were disclosed or known to the board of directors and the board authorized, approved, or ratified the transaction; or the material facts of the transaction and the director's interest were disclosed or known to the members and they authorized, approved, or ratified the transaction. For purposes of this section, a director of the corporation has an indirect interest in a transaction if (1) another entity in which the director has a material interest or in which the director is a general partner is a party to the transaction or (2) another entity of which the director is a director, officer, or trustee is a party to the transaction. For purposes of subsection (a)(2) of this section a conflict of interest transaction is authorized, approved, or ratified, if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors on the board, who have no direct or indirect interest in the transaction, but a transaction may not be authorized, approved, or ratified under this section by less than a majority of the entire board of directors. For purposes of subsection (a)(3) of this section, a conflict of interest transaction is authorized, approved, or ratified by the members if it receives a majority of the votes entitled to be counted under this subsection. Votes cast by or voted under the control of a director who has a direct or indirect interest in the transaction, and votes cast by or voted under the control of an entity described in subsection (b)(1) of this section, may not be counted in a vote of members to determine whether to authorize, approve, or ratify a conflict of interest transaction under subsection (a)(3) of this section. The vote of these members, however, is counted in determining whether the transaction is approved under other sections of this chapter. A majority of the voting power, whether or not present, that are entitled to be counted in a vote on the transaction under this subsection constitutes a quorum for the purpose of taking action under this section. The articles, bylaws, or a resolution of the board may impose additional requirements on conflict of interest transactions.
