Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 28863 — Shareholders’ Action., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 28863. Shareholders’ Action.
(a) Shareholders’ action respecting a transaction is effective for
purposes of § 28861(b)(2) if a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the
holders of all qualified shares were cast in favor of the transaction after
(1) notice to shareholders describing the director’s conflicting
interest transaction,
(2) provision of the information referred to in Subsection (d), and
(3) required disclosure to the shareholders who voted on the
transaction (to the extent the information was not known by them).
(b) For purposes of this Section, “qualified shares” means any shares
entitled to vote with respect to the director’s conflicting interest transaction
except shares that, to the knowledge, before the vote, of the secretary (or
other officer or agent of the corporation authorized to tabulate votes), are
beneficially owned (or the voting of which is controlled) by a director who
has a conflicting interest respecting the transaction or by a related person of
the director, or both.
(c) A majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all
qualified shares constitutes a quorum for purposes of action that complies
with this Section. Subject to the provisions of Subsections (d) and (e),
shareholders’ action that otherwise complies with this Section is not affected
by the presence of holders, or the voting, of shares that are not qualified
shares.
(d) For purposes of compliance with Subsection (a), a director who
has a conflicting interest respecting the transaction shall, before the
shareholders’ vote, inform the secretary (or other officer or agent of the
corporation authorized to tabulate votes) of the number, and the identity of
persons holding or controlling the vote, of all shares that the director knows
are beneficially owned (or the voting of which is controlled) by the director
or by a related person of the director or both.

18 GCA BUSINESS STRUCTURE & FUNCTION
(e) If a shareholders’ vote does not comply with Subsection (a) solely
because of a failure of a director to comply with Subsection (d), and if the
director establishes that his failure did not determine and was not intended
by him to influence the outcome of the vote, the court may, with or without
further proceedings respecting § 28861(b)(3), take such action respecting the
transaction and the director, and give such effect, if any, to the shareholders’
vote, as it considers appropriate in the circumstances.
