(a) In the case of a cooperative, the board shall by resolution approve the plan and direct that the plan be submitted to a vote at an annual or a special meeting of members. Written notice shall be given to each member in the manner provided in this chapter for meetings of members, and approval of the plan shall be by affirmative vote of a majority of the member votes cast thereon. The articles may permit shareholders to vote on approval of the plan, and may fix the proportion of shareholder votes required for approval.
