Missouri Revised Statutes Title XXIII. Corporations, Associations and Partnerships § 355.711. Procedure, effect of administrative dissolution

1. Upon determining that one or more grounds exist under section 355.706 for dissolving a corporation, the secretary of state shall serve the corporation with written notice of that determination under section 355.176.

2. If the corporation does not correct each ground for dissolution or demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the secretary of state that each ground determined by the secretary of state does not exist within at least sixty days after service of the notice is perfected under section 355.176, the secretary of state may administratively dissolve the corporation by signing a certificate of dissolution that recites the ground or grounds for dissolution and its effective date.  The secretary of state shall file the original of the certificate and serve a copy on the corporation under section 355.176, and in the case of a public benefit corporation shall notify the attorney general in writing.

3. A corporation administratively dissolved continues its corporate existence but may not carry on any activities except those necessary to wind up and liquidate its affairs under section 355.691 and notify its claimants under sections 355.696 and 355.701.

4. The administrative dissolution of a corporation does not terminate the authority of its registered agent.

5. The corporate name is not available for use by others for a period of two years from the effective date of its administrative dissolution.
