If, within one-half hour from the time set for the holding of a meeting of shareholders, a quorum is not present:

 

a.in the case of a general meeting requisitioned by shareholders, the meeting is dissolved, and

 

b.in the case of any other meeting of shareholders, the chair of the meeting or the chair of the board may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. If a quorum is present or represented at a reconvened meeting following such an adjournment, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.
