Subdivision 1. Manner.

After the issuance of shares, a corporation may be dissolved when authorized in the manner set forth in this section.

Subd. 2. Notice; approval.

(a) If the corporation has outstanding shares:

(1) Written notice shall be given to each shareholder, whether or not entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders, within the time and in the manner provided in section 302A.435 for notice of meetings of shareholders and, whether the meeting is a regular or a special meeting, shall state that a purpose of the meeting is to consider dissolving the corporation.
