IV. CLAIMS AGAINST A DISSOLVED CORPORATION

A dissolved corporation may dispose of the known claims against it by following these procedures:

1. The dissolved corporation shall deliver to each of its known claimants written notice of the dissolution. The written notice shall:

a. Provide a reasonable description of the claim.

b. State whether the claim is admitted or not admitted, totally or partially. If the claim is admitted, then the notice shall state the amount admitted, the interest obligation, if any, and

c. Provide a mailing address where a claim may be sent.

d. State a deadline, not less than 120 days after the effective date of the notice, by which confirmation of the claim must be received.

e. State that the dissolved corporation may make distributions, after the noticed deadline, to other claimants and/or to shareholders or other interested persons without further notice.

2. A dissolved may totally or partially reject any claim made by a claimant.

The dissolved corporation shall deliver such offer to the claimant within 90 days after receipt of such claim and, in all events, at least 150 days before expiration of three years following the effective date of dissolution If the claimant offered security does not reject the offer in writing within 120 days after receipt of the offer for security, the claimant is deemed to have accepted such security as the sole source from which to satisfy his or her claim against the corporation."

5. A dissolved corporation or successor entity which has given notice as set out above for claims which are NOT contingent, conditional, or unmatured claims, shall petition the circuit court in the county where the corporation's principal office is located or was located at the effective date of dissolution to determine the amount and form of security that will be sufficient to provide compensation to any claimant who has rejected the offer for security

The court shall appoint a guardian ad litem to represent all claimants whose identities are unknown

7. The giving of the notice or making of an offer DOES NOT revive any claim that has been barred and it DOES NOT evidence that any claimant to whom a notice is sent is a proper claimant. The notice IS NOT a waiver of any defense or counterclaim with respect to any claim.
