(a) Unanimous consent.--Unless otherwise restricted in the bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders or of a class of shareholders of a business corporation may be taken without a meeting if a consent or consents to the action in record form are signed, before, on or after the effective date of the action by all of the shareholders who would be entitled to vote at a meeting for such purpose. The consent or consents must be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the shareholders.
(b) Partial consent.--If the bylaws so provide, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders or of a class of shareholders may be taken without a meeting upon the signed consent of shareholders who would have been entitled to cast the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize the action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote thereon were present and voting. The consents shall be filed in record form with the minutes of the proceedings of the shareholders.
(c) Effectiveness of action by partial consent.--An action taken pursuant to subsection (b) to approve a transaction under Chapter 3 (relating to entity transactions) shall not become effective until after at least ten days' notice of the action has been given to each shareholder entitled to vote thereon who has not consented thereto. Any other action may become effective immediately, but prompt notice that the action has been taken shall be given to each shareholder entitled to vote thereon that has not consented. This subsection may not be relaxed by any provision of the articles.
(d) Cross references.--See sections 1702 (relating to manner of giving notice) and 2524 (relating to consent of shareholders in lieu of meeting).
