How it comes up, in Chapter 11
The power lies in the quorum, the smallest attendance at which a meeting can decide anything. Here the quorum is two directors, one of them an Investor Director. A written resolution also needs an Investor Director's signature (clause 13.4, article 19.1). If Meridian's directors stay away, the meeting cannot decide anything that day.
