[Corporate Death] Janelle is president and a large shareholder in RecyCALL, a corporation that sells used cellular telephones. Although the company was not insolvent, sales had been significantly down, and Janelle decided that it would be a good idea to discontinue the business. The board of directors agreed with her. The board members presented the proposal to discontinue the corporation to shareholders. Initially, Ahmed, a disgruntled shareholder, opposed ending the corporation. He claimed that the problem was that Janelle had done a poor job in management. Janelle planned to go forward with the termination of the company because a majority of the shareholders agreed. Ahmed, however, came around; and upon a second vote to discontinue the corporation, the vote was unanimous. Tony, a vice president of the corporation, was aware of a few outstanding debts owed by RecyCALL. He suggested hurrying along quietly with ending the corporation because any claims not made before the corporation was dissolved could be avoided. Janelle told him that she was not sure that was a good idea. Therefore, the company proceeded with all appropriate notifications. When the time came to liquidate the corporation, the members of the board did not want to participate. Janelle was concerned about what action to take at that point because she really wanted to be finished with RecyCALL.
-Which of the following is true regarding Tony's suggestion that dissolution be implemented quickly in order to avoid claims by creditors?
A) His suggestion was a good one because in that way, the claims could likely be avoided.
B) His suggestion would not avoid claims because the law requires that creditors be allowed at least 120 days after dissolution in order to make a claim.
C) Whether or not his suggestion will help depends on the corporation's articles of incorporation which set forth the time period during which creditors may file claims following dissolution.
D) Whether or not his suggestion will help depends on the corporation's bylaws which set forth the time period during which creditors may file claims following dissolution.
E) His suggestion was a good one only for debts outstanding for over 1 year; otherwise, the creditors have at least six months following dissolution in which to make claims.
