2. Conflicting-interest transaction not actionable if standards met. A director's conflicting-interest transaction may not be the subject of equitable relief or give rise to an award of damages or other sanctions against a director of the corporation, in a proceeding by a shareholder or by or in the right of the corporation, on the ground that the director has an interest regarding the transaction, if:
A. Directors' action regarding the transaction was taken in compliance with section 873 at any time; [2007, c. 289, §28 (AMD).]
