The notice must be signed on behalf of the corporation by an authorized person.

Subd. 2.Restriction on transfers.

Subject to subdivision 3, a corporation described in subdivision 1 may not transfer or convey assets as part of a dissolution, merger or consolidation, or transfer of assets under section 317A.661 until 45 days after it has given written notice to the attorney general, unless the attorney general waives all or part of the waiting period.

The attorney general may extend the waiting period under subdivision 2 for one additional 30-day period by notifying the corporation in writing of the extension. The attorney general shall notify the secretary of state if the waiting period is extended.

Subd. 4.Notice after transfer.

When all or substantially all of the assets of a corporation described in subdivision 1 have been transferred or conveyed following expiration or waiver of the waiting period, the board shall deliver to the attorney general a list of persons to whom the assets were transferred or conveyed. The list must include the addresses of each person who received assets and show what assets the person received.

Subd. 5.Effect.

Failure of the attorney general to take an action with respect to a transaction under this section does not constitute approval of the transaction and does not prevent the attorney general from taking other action.
