TERMINATION OF CLOSE CORPORATION STATUS

A close corporation may terminate its status as a close corporation by: (1) filing a statement terminating close corporation status under Section 21.709; (2) amending the close corporation's certificate of formation under Chapter 3 by deleting from the certificate of formation the statement that it is a close corporation; (3) engaging in a merger, interest exchange, or conversion under Chapter 10, unless the plan of merger, exchange, or conversion provides that the surviving or new corporation will continue as or become a close corporation and the plan has been approved by the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of all of the outstanding shares, and of each class and series of shares, of the close corporation, regardless of whether a class or series of shares is entitled to vote on the plan by the certificate of formation; or (4) instituting a judicial proceeding to enforce a close corporation provision providing for the termination.
