(1) Participate in a meeting of shareholders; and
(2) Be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of shareholders whether the meeting is held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication; provided that the corporation shall:
(A) Implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a shareholder or proxy of a shareholder;
(B) Implement reasonable measures to provide shareholders and proxies of shareholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the shareholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting concurrently with the proceedings; and
(C) Maintain a record of voting or action by any shareholder or proxy of a shareholder that votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication.
