Sec. 553.

A director who is present at a meeting of the board, or a committee thereof of which the director is a member, at which action on a corporate matter referred to in section 551 is taken, is presumed to have concurred in that action unless a dissent is entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless the director files a written dissent to the action with the person acting as secretary of the meeting before or promptly after the adjournment thereof.
