17-16-1421. Procedure for and effect of administrative dissolution.

(a) If the secretary of state determines that one (1) or more grounds exist under W.S. 17-16-1420 for dissolving a corporation, he shall serve the corporation with written notice of his determination under W.S. 17-28-104, except for W.S. 17-16-1420(a)(v) in which case dissolution is by choice and therefore automatic.

(b) If the corporation does not correct each ground for dissolution or demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the secretary of state that each ground determined by the secretary of state does not exist within sixty (60) days after service of the notice is perfected under W.S. 17-28-104, the secretary of state shall administratively dissolve the corporation by signing, either manually or in facsimile, a certificate of dissolution that recites the ground or grounds for dissolution and its effective date. The secretary of state shall file the original of the certificate and serve a copy on the corporation under W.S. 17-28-104.

(c) A corporation administratively dissolved under W.S. 17-16-1420 continues its corporate existence but may not carry on any business except that necessary to wind up and liquidate its business and affairs under W.S. 17-16-1405 and notify claimants under W.S. 17-16-1406 and 17-16-1407.

(d) The administrative dissolution of a corporation does not terminate the authority of its registered agent.
