“Directors sign a disclosure letter at the annual board meeting. If the board determines that a transaction would create a conflict of interest, the transaction must be approved in advance by only those board members who do not have a conflict with respect to the transaction. Any interested person therefore must recuse him or herself from consideration of the transaction. He or she may not vote on the transaction or be present when the vote is taken. He or she furthermore may not be present during any discussion of the transaction other than to answer questions. Interested persons, however, may be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum exists at the meeting even though they are temporarily absent while the transaction is considered.”
