N.M. Stat. § 53-11-40.1
Director conflict of interest.
A. A conflict of interest transaction is a transaction with the corporation in which a
director of the corporation has a direct or indirect interest. A conflict of interest
transaction is not voidable by the corporation solely because of the director's interest in
the transaction if any one of the following is true:
(1)
the material facts of the transaction and the director's interest were
disclosed or known to the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors
and the board of directors or committee authorized, approved or ratified the transaction;
(2)
the material facts of the transaction and the director's interest were
disclosed or known to the shareholders entitled to vote and they authorized, approved
or ratified the transaction; or
(3)
the transaction was fair to the corporation.
B. For purposes of this section, a director of the corporation has an indirect interest
in a transaction if:
(1)
another entity in which he has a material financial interest or in which he is
a general partner is a party to the transaction; or
(2)
another entity of which he is a director, officer or trustee is a party to the
transaction and the transaction is or should be considered by the board of directors of
the corporation.
For purposes of this section, a director of the corporation does not have a direct or
indirect interest in a transaction solely because the transaction may involve or effect a
change in control of the corporation or his continuation in office as a director of that
corporation.
C. For purposes of Paragraph (1) of Subsection A of this section, a conflict of
interest transaction is authorized, approved or ratified if it receives the affirmative vote of
a majority of the directors on the board or [of] directors or on a committee of the board
of directors who have no direct or indirect interest in the transaction but a transaction
may not be authorized, approved or ratified under this section by a single director. If a
majority of the directors who have no direct or indirect interest in the transaction vote to
authorize, approve or ratify the transaction, a quorum is present for the purpose of
taking action under this section. The presence of or a vote cast by a director with a
direct or indirect interest in the transaction does not affect the validity of any action
taken under Paragraph (1) of Subsection A of this section if the transaction is otherwise
authorized, approved or ratified as provided in that subsection.
D. For purposes of Paragraph (2) of Subsection A of this section, a conflict of
interest transaction is authorized, approved or ratified if it receives the vote of a majority
of the shares entitled to be counted under this subsection. Shares owned by or voted
under the control of a director who has a direct or indirect interest in the transaction and
shares owned by or voted under the control of an entity described in Paragraph (2) of
Subsection B of this section may not be counted in a vote of shareholders to determine
whether to authorize, approve or ratify a conflict of interest transaction under Paragraph
(2) of Subsection A of this section. The vote of those shares, however, is counted in
determining whether the transaction is approved under other sections of the Business
Corporation Act. A majority of the shares, whether or not present, that are entitled to be
counted in a vote on the transaction under this subsection constitutes a quorum for the
purpose of taking action under this section.
