Whenever the Secretary of State shall certify the name of a corporation to the Attorney General as having given any cause for dissolution, the Secretary of State shall concurrently mail to the corporation at its registered office a notice that such certification has been made.

If, after action is filed, the corporation shall file its annual report, or shall appoint or maintain a registered agent as provided in KRS 273.161 to 273.390, or shall file with the Secretary of State the required statement of change of registered agent, and shall pay the costs of such action, the action for such cause shall abate.
