directors of the association or subsidiary, or alternatively, by a
majority of the total votes eligible to be cast by the voting members
or stockholders of the association at a meeting called for that
purpose, with no votes cast by proxies not solicited for that
purpose. For purposes of this subdivision, "full disclosure" shall
include, but not be limited to, (A) the affiliated person's source of
financing for any real property involved in the transaction and (B)
whether the association or any subsidiary thereof has a deposit
relationship with any financial institution or holding company or
affiliate thereof providing the financing.
