Sec. 38a-186. (Formerly Sec. 33-179n). Disposition of property on termination. Prohibitions re stock transactions and mergers. (a) In the event of the dissolution, liquidation or termination of the corporate existence of a health care center which
is organized as a nonprofit, nonstock corporation, no part of the property or assets of
the health care center shall inure to the benefit of any director, officer, subscriber or
employee of the corporation, each of whom by holding such position shall be deemed
to have waived and relinquished all rights conferred by statute or otherwise upon subscribers of a corporation without capital stock to share in such assets upon dissolution,
liquidation or termination. After the payment of all lawful claims against the corporation,
all its remaining assets shall be devoted permanently and exclusively to the purposes
for which the corporation is formed, or paid over to an organization organized and
operated exclusively for charitable, educational and scientific purposes, and in such
amount and proportions, as the board of directors in its discretion shall determine.
(b) No person may (1) make a tender for or a request or invitation for tenders of,
or enter into an agreement to exchange securities for or acquire in the open market or
otherwise, any voting security of a health care center, (2) enter into any other agreement
if, after the consummation thereof, that person would, directly or indirectly, or by conversion or by exercise of any right to acquire, be in control of such center, or (3) enter into
an agreement to merge or consolidate with or otherwise to acquire control of a health
care center, unless, at the time any offer, request or invitation is made or any agreement
is entered into, or prior to the acquisition of the securities if no offer or agreement is
involved, the person has filed with the Insurance Commissioner and has mailed or delivered to the health care center, such information as is required by the commissioner
and the offer, request, invitation, agreement or acquisition has been approved by the
commissioner.
