For LLCs formed on or after July 1, 1999, or for LLCs formed prior to July 1, 1999, that elect by providing in their articles for the amendments by Acts 1999, ch. 455, regarding dissolution events to apply to such LLC, the LLC shall be dissolved upon the occurrence of:
In accordance with § 48-245-202 or any event specified in the articles or operating agreement including, but not limited to, events of withdrawal by a member or action or procedure as set forth in the articles or operating agreement; or
A merger in which the LLC is not the surviving organization.
Notwithstanding subdivisions (a)(5)(A)-(J), including if and as modified by subsection (c), the LLC is not dissolved and is not required to be wound up by reason of any event that terminates the continued membership of a member if there is at least one (1) remaining member and the existence and business of the LLC are continued by the consent of a majority vote of the remaining members or such greater vote of the remaining members as provided in the articles. Such consent must be obtained no later than ninety (90) days after the dissolution event. The granting of consent is at the discretion of each member and may be unreasonably withheld.
Reduction or Elimination of Dissolution Events.
With respect to LLCs created prior to July 1, 1999, the articles or operating agreement may specify that none or less than all of the events listed in subdivisions (a)(5)(A)-(J) constitute a dissolution event or events.
With respect to LLCs created prior to July 1, 1999, and which do not elect under § 48-245-101(a)(6) to have the amendments by Acts 1999, ch. 455, regarding dissolution events apply, the articles or the operating agreement of a board-managed LLC may provide that the events of dissolution enumerated in subdivisions (a)(5)(A)-(J) may be limited to one (1) or more events that are applicable only to one (1) or more members.
Procedures Following Dissolution. An LLC dissolved by one (1) of the dissolution events specified in subsection (a), as modified by subsection (c) if applicable, unless subsection (b) applies, must be wound up and terminated as provided in this chapter.
