In order to be effective, the amendment must be adopted by at least the minimum status vote.

B. Paragraph A does not apply in the case of a corporation that is a party to a merger if the shareholders of the corporation are not entitled to vote on the merger pursuant to section 1105. [PL 2019, c. 328, §1 (NEW).]
C. Any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a benefit corporation, unless the transaction is in the usual and regular course of business, is not effective unless the transaction is approved by at least the minimum status vote.
