Interested persons must disclose conflicting interests to the board where the conflicting interest transaction is brought before the board or of a significance normally brought before the board, unless the interested person is not a party to the contract creating the conflicting interest and has a duty of confidentiality regarding the information (such as an attorney). If the interested person cannot make full disclosure, then he or she must disclose the existence and nature of the conflicting interest, inform the board of the confidential relationship, and cannot play any direct or indirect role in the deliberations or vote on the matter. A majority of directors without a conflict, but in no event less than two, must approve any conflicting interest transaction. The corporation shall survey annually the directors, officers, and key employees of the corporation to provide for disclosure of situations potentially giving rise to conflicting interests in matters involving the corporation. Periodically, the board shall review compliance with this reporting requirement and shall consider revisions or additions to the corporation's conflict of interest policies.”
