Title 14, Chapter 2, Section 1201
( 14-2-1201)
(a) As used in this Code section, the term "insolvent" means: (1) The corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they
become due in the usual course of business; or (2) The corporation's total assets would be less than the sum of
its total liabilities. (b) A corporation may, on the terms and conditions and for the
consideration determined by the board of directors: (1) Sell, lease, exchange, or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of its property if: (A) The corporation is insolvent and a sale for cash or its
equivalent is deemed advisable by the board to meet the
liabilities of the corporation; or (B) The corporation was incorporated for the purpose of
liquidating such property and assets; (2) Mortgage, pledge, dedicate to the repayment of indebtedness,
whether with or without recourse, or otherwise encumber any or all
of its property whether or not in the usual and regular course of
business; (3) Transfer any or all of its property to a corporation all the
shares of which are owned by the corporation; or (4) Sell, lease, exchange, or otherwise dispose of less than all
or substantially all of its property. Assets shall be deemed to be
less than substantially all of a corporation's property if the
fair value of the assets as of the date of the most recent
available financial information does not exceed two-thirds of the
fair value of all of the assets of the corporation, and the annual
revenues of the corporation for the most recent fiscal year for
which such financial information is available represented or
produced by such assets do not exceed two-thirds of the total
revenues of the corporation for that period. This subsection is
intended merely to create an irrebuttable presumption with respect
to transactions described in this subsection and shall not create
any inference that the sale of assets exceeding the amounts
described in this subsection is the sale of substantially all of
the property of the corporation. (c) Unless the articles of incorporation require it, approval by the
shareholders of a transaction described in subsection (b) of this
Code section is not required. |
