(1) In a proceeding under Subsection 16-10a-1430(2) to dissolve a corporation that has no shares listed on a national securities exchange or regularly traded in a market maintained by one or more members of a national or affiliated securities association, the corporation may elect, or if it fails to elect, one or more shareholders may elect to purchase all shares of the corporation owned by the petitioning shareholder, at the fair value of the shares, determined as provided in this section. An election pursuant to this section is irrevocable unless the court determines that it is equitable to set aside or modify the election.

(2) (a) An election to purchase pursuant to this section may be filed with the court at any time within 90 days after the filing of the petition under Subsection 16-10a-1430(2) or at any later time as the court in its discretion may allow. If the corporation files an election with the court within the 90-day period, or at any later time allowed by the court, to purchase all shares of the corporation owned by the petitioning shareholder, the corporation shall purchase the shares in the manner provided in this section. (b) If the corporation does not file an election with the court within the time period, but an election to purchase all shares of the corporation owned by the petitioning shareholder is filed by one or more shareholders within the time period, the corporation shall, within 10 days after the later of: (i) the end of the time period allowed for the filing of elections to purchase under this section; or (ii) notification from the court of an election by shareholders to purchase all shares of the corporation owned by the petitioning shareholder as provided in this section, give written notice of the election to purchase to all shareholders of the corporation, other than the petitioning shareholder. The notice shall state the name and number of shares owned by the petitioning shareholder and the name and number of shares owned by each electing shareholder. The notice shall advise any recipients who have not participated in the election of their right to join in the election to purchase shares in accordance with this section, and of the date by which any notice of intent to participate must be filed with the court. (c) Shareholders who wish to participate in the purchase of shares from the petitioning shareholder shall file notice of their intention to join in the purchase by the electing shareholders, no later than 30 days after the effective date of the corporation's notice of their right to join in the election to purchase. (d) All shareholders who have filed with the court an election or notice of their intention to participate in the election to purchase the shares of the corporation owned by the petitioning shareholder thereby become irrevocably obligated to participate in the purchase of shares from the petitioning shareholders upon the terms and conditions of this section, unless the court otherwise directs. (e) After an election has been filed by the corporation or one or more shareholders, the proceedings under Subsection 16-10a-1430(2) may not be discontinued or settled, nor may the petitioning shareholder sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of the corporation, unless the court determines that it would be equitable to the corporation and the shareholders, other than the petitioning shareholders, to permit any discontinuance, settlement, sale, or other disposition.

(ii) notification from the court of an election by shareholders to purchase all shares of the corporation owned by the petitioning shareholder as provided in this section, give written notice of the election to purchase to all shareholders of the corporation, other than the petitioning shareholder. The notice shall state the name and number of shares owned by the petitioning shareholder and the name and number of shares owned by each electing shareholder.

(e) After an election has been filed by the corporation or one or more shareholders, the proceedings under Subsection 16-10a-1430(2) may not be discontinued or settled, nor may the petitioning shareholder sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of the corporation, unless the court determines that it would be equitable to the corporation and the shareholders, other than the petitioning shareholders, to permit any discontinuance, settlement, sale, or other disposition.

(3) If, within 60 days after the earlier of: (a) the corporation's filing of an election to purchase all shares of the corporation owned by the petitioning shareholder; or (b) the corporation's mailing of a notice to its shareholders of the filing of an election by the shareholders to purchase all shares of the corporation owned by the petitioning shareholder, the petitioning shareholder and electing corporation or shareholders reach agreement as to the fair value and terms of purchase of the petitioning shareholder's shares, the court shall enter an order directing the purchase of petitioner's shares, upon the terms and conditions agreed to by the parties.

(a) the corporation's filing of an election to purchase all shares of the corporation owned by the petitioning shareholder; or

(b) the corporation's mailing of a notice to its shareholders of the filing of an election by the shareholders to purchase all shares of the corporation owned by the petitioning shareholder, the petitioning shareholder and electing corporation or shareholders reach agreement as to the fair value and terms of purchase of the petitioning shareholder's shares, the court shall enter an order directing the purchase of petitioner's shares, upon the terms and conditions agreed to by the parties.

(4) If the parties are unable to reach an agreement as provided for in Subsection (3), upon application of any party the court shall stay the proceedings under Subsection 16-10a-1430(2) and determine the fair value of the petitioning shareholder's shares as of the day before the date on which the petition under Subsection 16-10a-1430(2) was filed or as of any other date the court determines to be appropriate under the circumstances and based on the factors the court determines to be appropriate.

(5) (a) Upon determining the fair value of the shares of the corporation owned by the petitioning shareholder, the court shall enter an order directing the purchase of the shares upon terms and conditions the court determines to be appropriate. The terms and conditions may include payment of the purchase price in installments, where necessary in the interests of equity, provision for security to assure payment of the purchase price and any additional costs, fees, and expenses awarded by the court, and an allocation of shares among shareholders if the shares are to be purchased by shareholders. (b) In allocating the petitioning shareholders' shares among holders of different classes of shares, the court shall attempt to preserve the existing distribution of voting rights among holders of different share classes to the extent practicable. The court may direct that holders of a specific class or classes may not participate in the purchase. The court may not require any electing shareholder to purchase more of the shares of the corporation owned by the petitioning shareholder than the number of shares that the purchasing shareholder may have set forth in his election or notice of intent to participate filed with the court as the maximum number of shares he is willing to purchase. (c) Interest may be allowed at the rate and from the date determined by the court to be equitable. However, if the court finds that the refusal of the petitioning shareholder to accept an offer of payment was arbitrary or otherwise not in good faith, interest may not be allowed. (d) If the court finds that the petitioning shareholder had probable grounds for relief under Subsection 16-10a-1430(2)(b) or (d), it may award to the petitioning shareholder reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and experts employed by the petitioning shareholder.
