Subdivision 1. Articles of dissolution; when filed.

Articles of dissolution for a corporation that has not given notice to creditors and claimants in the manner provided in section 302A.727 must be filed with the secretary of state after:

(1) the payment of claims of all known creditors and claimants has been made or provided for; or

(2) at least two years have elapsed from the date of filing the notice of intent to dissolve.

Subd. 2. Contents of articles.

The articles of dissolution must state:

(2) that the remaining property, assets, and claims of the corporation have been distributed among its shareholders in accordance with section 302A.551, subdivision 4 , or that adequate provision has been made for that distribution; and
