Official statutory text
Sec. 4. Upon authorization of the dissolution, the board of directors shall then proceed to:
(a) Cause a notice that the corporation is about to be dissolved to be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation, printed and published in the English language, in the county in which the principal office of the corporation is located, and at least once in a newspaper of general circulation, printed and published in the English language in the city of Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana, and to be mailed to each creditor of the corporation;
(b) Collect all of the corporate assets;
(c) Pay and discharge all of the corporate debts and liabilities; and
(d) After the expiration of a period of thirty (30) days following the publication and mailing of said notice, distribute the remaining corporate assets and property among the shareholders, members or policyholders according to their respective interests.
In case the holders of shares or policies are unknown or shall fail or refuse to accept their distributive shares in such property and assets, or are under any disability, or can not be found, after diligent inquiry or in case the ownership of any shares or policies is in dispute, the board of directors shall deposit the distributive portions of such shares of stock or policies with the clerk of the circuit court in the county in which the principal office is located for the use and benefit of those who may be lawfully entitled thereto, and such deposit shall have the same force and effect as if payment had been made directly to and accepted by the persons lawfully entitled thereto. Such distributive shares shall be paid over by such clerk to such shareholders or policyholders, respectively, or to the lawful owner of the shares or policies, the ownership of which has been in dispute, or to their respective legal representatives, upon satisfactory proof being made to such clerk of their respective rights thereto.
