(3) A disclosure made pursuant to subsection (1) shall be made or brought to the attention of every director on the board, provided that a disclosure shall be deemed to have been so made if it is made at the meeting of the directors at which the transaction was first considered or, if the director in question was not at the date of that meeting interested in the transaction or aware that such director was so interested, at the first meeting of the directors held after the director became so aware or so interested (as the case may be).
