Liability for wrongful distributions

Liability for wrongful distributions. (a) If a distribution is made in violation of G.S. 57D-4-05, then each manager or other company official who alone or with other company officials had the authority to and did approve the distribution is personally liable to the LLC but not any other person for the amount of the distribution that exceeds the amount that could have been distributed without violating G.S. 57D-4-05 only if it is established that the company official did not act in compliance with G.S. 57D-3-21, without regard to any modification or elimination of such duties and standards of conduct under the operating agreement. Except as otherwise provided in G.S. 57D-11-03(d), a proceeding under this subsection is barred unless it is commenced within two years after the distribution. (b) Each manager or other company official held liable under subsection (a) of this section for a wrongful distribution is entitled to the following: (1) Contribution from each other manager or other company official who could be held liable under subsection (a) of this section for the wrongful distribution. (2) Reimbursement from each interest owner for the amount the interest owner received knowing that the distribution was made in violation of G.S. 57D-4-05. (2013-157, s. 2.)
