35-9-204. Attempted share transfer in breach of prohibition. - Montana Statutes

     35-9-204. Attempted share transfer in breach of prohibition. (1) An attempt to transfer shares in a statutory close corporation in violation of a prohibition against transfer binding on the transferee is ineffective.
     (2) An attempt to transfer shares in a statutory close corporation in violation of a prohibition against transfer that is not binding on the transferee, either because the notice required by 35-9-201 was not given or because the prohibition is held unenforceable by a court, gives the corporation an option to purchase the shares from the transferee for the same price and on the same terms that the transferee purchased them. To exercise its option, the corporation shall give the transferee written notice within 30 days after the shares are presented for registration in the transferee's name. The corporation may specifically enforce the transferee's sale obligation upon exercise of its purchase option.
