Title 14, Chapter 2, Section 942
( 14-2-942)
(a) If the court finds that the ordinary relief described in subsection (a) of Code Section 14-2-941 is or would be inadequate or inappropriate, it may order the corporation dissolved under Code Section 14-2-943 unless the corporation or one or more of its shareholders purchase all the shares of the shareholder for their fair value and on terms determined under subsection (b) of this Code section. (b) If the court orders a share purchase, it shall: (1) Determine the fair value of the shares, considering among
other relevant evidence the going concern value of the
corporation, any agreement among some or all of the shareholders
fixing the price or specifying a formula for determining share
value for any purpose, the recommendations of appraisers (if any)
appointed by the court, and the legal constraints on the
corporation's ability to purchase the shares; (2) Specify the terms of the purchase, including, if appropriate,
terms for installment payments, subordination of the purchase
obligation to the rights of the corporation's creditors, security
for a deferred purchase price, and a covenant not to compete or
other restriction on the seller; (3) Require the seller to deliver all his shares to the purchaser
upon receipt of the purchase price or the first installment of the
purchase price; (4) Provide that after the seller delivers his shares he has no
further claim against the corporation, its directors, officers, or
shareholders, other than a claim to any unpaid balance of the
purchase price and a claim under any agreement with the
corporation or the remaining shareholders that is not terminated
by the court; and (5) Provide that if the purchase is not completed in accordance with the specified terms, the corporation is to be dissolved under Code Section 14-2-943. (c) After the purchase order is entered, any party may petition the
court to modify the terms of the purchase and the court may do so if
it finds that changes in the financial or legal ability of the
corporation or other purchaser to complete the purchase justify a
modification. (d) If the corporation is dissolved because the share purchase was
not completed in accordance with the court's order, the selling
shareholder has the same rights and priorities in the corporation's
assets as if the sale had not been ordered. |
