A. Whenever by any provision of law, the articles, or the bylaws the affirmative vote of stockholders is required to authorize or constitute corporate action, the consent in writing to such corporate action signed by all of the stockholders having voting power on the particular question shall be sufficient for the purpose without necessity for a meeting of stockholders.
B. If the articles provide that such consent may be signed by fewer than all of the stockholders having voting power on any question, the consent need be signed only by stockholders holding that proportion of the total voting power on the question that is required by the articles or by law, whichever requirement is higher.
C. The consent, together with a certificate by the secretary of the board to the effect that the subscribers to the consent constitute all or the required proportion of the stockholders entitled to vote on the particular question, shall be filed with the records of proceedings of the stockholders. If the consent is signed by fewer than all of the stockholders having voting power on the question, prompt notice shall be given to all of the stockholders of the action taken pursuant to the consent.
