Sec. 492a.
A shareholder may not commence or maintain a derivative proceeding unless the shareholder meets all of the following criteria:
(a)The shareholder was a shareholder of the corporation at the time of the act or omission complained of or became a shareholder through transfer by operation of law from one who was a shareholder at that time.
(b)The shareholder fairly and adequately represents the interests of the corporation in enforcing the right of the corporation.
