2021 Georgia Code|Title 14 - Corporations, Partnerships, and Associations|Chapter 11 - Limited Liability Companies|Article 3 - Agency; Management; Duties; Liability|§ 14-11-307. Conflicting Interest Transactions

  The provisions of this Code section shall apply to a limited liability company unless its articles of organization or a written operating agreement provides that they shall not apply. If the provisions of this Code section apply to a limited liability company, its articles of organization or a written operating agreement may limit, expand, or modify, in any manner whatsoever, the effect thereof.If the provisions of this Code section do not apply to a limited liability company, its articles of organization or a written operating agreement may, but is not required to, contain any provision whatsoever relating to transactions that might give rise to conflicts of interest for members or managers.   A transaction effected or proposed to be effected by a limited liability company (or by a person in which the limited liability company has a controlling interest) that is not a member's or manager's conflicting interest transaction may not be enjoined, set aside, or give rise to an award of damages or other sanctions, in an action by a member or by or in the right of the limited liability company, on the ground of a conflicting interest in the transaction of a member or manager or any person with whom or which he or she has a personal, economic, or other association.   A member's or manager's conflicting interest transaction may not be enjoined, set aside, or give rise to an award of damages or other sanctions, in an action by a member or by or in the right of the limited liability company, on the ground of a conflicting interest in the transaction of the member or manager, as the case may be, or any person with whom or which he or she has a personal, economic, or other association, if:   The member's or manager's action respecting the transaction was at any time taken in compliance with this Code section; or   The transaction, judged in the circumstances at the time of commitment, is established to have been fair to the limited liability company.     A member's or manager's action respecting a transaction is effective for purposes of paragraph (1) of subsection (c) of this Code section if the transaction received the approval of a majority of those qualified members or managers who expressed approval or disapproval of the transaction after either required disclosure to them (to the extent the information was not known by them) or compliance with subsection (e) of this Code section.   If a member or manager has a conflicting interest respecting a transaction, but neither he or she nor a related person of the member or manager specified in paragraph (21) of Code Section 14-11-101 is a party thereto, and if the member or manager has a duty under law or professional canon, or a duty of confidentiality to another person, respecting information relating to the transaction such that the member or manager cannot, consistent with that duty, make the disclosure contemplated by paragraph (22) of Code Section 14-11-101, then disclosure is sufficient for purposes of subsection (d) of this Code section if the member or manager:   Discloses to the members or managers voting on the transaction the existence and nature of his or her conflicting interest and informs them of the character of and limitations imposed by that duty prior to their vote on the transaction; and   Plays no part, directly or indirectly, in their deliberations or vote.     A majority of all the qualified members or managers constitutes a quorum for purposes of action that complies with this Code section.Members' or managers' action that otherwise complies with this Code section is not affected by the presence or vote of a member or manager who is not a qualified member or manager.   For purposes of this Code section, "qualified member or manager" means, with respect to a member's or manager's conflicting interest transaction, any member (if management of the limited liability company is not vested in a manager or managers) or manager (if management of the limited liability company is vested in a manager or managers) who does not have either a conflicting interest respecting the transaction or a familial, financial, professional, or employment relationship with a second member or manager who does have a conflicting interest respecting the transaction, which relationship would, in the circumstances, reasonably be expected to exert an influence on the first member's or manager's judgment when voting on the transaction.
