Section 10A-2A-14.04
Revocation of dissolution; reinstatement.
(a) A corporation may revoke its dissolution within 120 days after its effective date and be reinstated.
(b) Revocation of dissolution and reinstatement shall be authorized in the same manner as the dissolution was authorized unless that authorization permitted revocation and reinstatement by action of the board of directors alone, in which event the board of directors may revoke the dissolution and effect the reinstatement without stockholder action.
(c) After the revocation of dissolution and reinstatement is authorized, the corporation may revoke the dissolution and effect the reinstatement by delivering to the Secretary of State for filing a certificate of revocation of dissolution and reinstatement, together with a copy of its certificate of dissolution, that sets forth:
(1) the name of the corporation;
(2) the effective date of the dissolution that was revoked;
(3) the date that the revocation of dissolution and reinstatement was authorized;
(4) if the corporation's board of directors (or incorporators) revoked the dissolution and effected the reinstatement, a statement to that effect;
(5) if the corporation's board of directors revoked a dissolution and effected the reinstatement as authorized by the stockholders, a statement that revocation and reinstatement was permitted by action by the board of directors alone pursuant to that authorization;
(6) if stockholder action was required to revoke the dissolution and effect the reinstatement, a statement that the revocation and reinstatement was duly approved by the stockholders in the manner required by this chapter and by the certificate of incorporation; and
(7) the unique identifying number or other designation as assigned by the Secretary of State.
(d) The certificate of revocation of dissolution and reinstatement shall take effect at the effective date determined in accordance with Article 4 of Chapter 1. Revocation of dissolution and reinstatement is effective upon the effective date of the certificate of revocation of dissolution and reinstatement.
(e)(1) Subject to subsection (e)(2), upon revocation and reinstatement, the corporation shall be deemed for all purposes to have continued its business as if dissolution had never occurred; and each right inuring to, and each debt, obligation, and liability incurred by, the corporation after the dissolution shall be determined as if the dissolution had never occurred.
(2) The rights of persons acting in reliance on the dissolution before those persons had notice of the revocation and reinstatement shall not be adversely affected by the revocation and reinstatement.
(f) If the corporation is listed in the Secretary of State's records as a corporation that has been dissolved, then the name of the corporation following revocation and reinstatement shall be that corporation name at the time of revocation and reinstatement if that corporation name complies with Article 5 of Chapter 1 at the time of revocation and reinstatement. If that corporation name does not comply with Article 5 of Chapter 1, the name of the corporation following revocation and reinstatement shall be that corporation name followed by the word "reinstated."
