GUIDE FOR TERMINATION OF A VIRGINIA STOCK CORPORATION

Voluntary termination of a Virginia stock corporation is accomplished in one of two ways, depending upon the corporation's circumstances:

1. If the corporation has issued shares and commenced business, voluntary dissolution and termination are accomplished by filing with the Commission the following two documents, upon which the Commission will issue and record a certificate of dissolution and a certificate of termination of corporate existence:

a. Articles of dissolution - you may use the attached form SCC743 which contains instructions and the required fee on the reverse, or prepare articles which meet the requirements of § 13.1-743 of the Code of Virginia.

b. Articles of termination of corporate existence - you may use the attached form SCC750 which contains instructions and the required fee on the reverse, or prepare articles which meet the requirements of § 13.1-750 of the Code of Virginia.

OR:

2. If the corporation either has not issued shares or, if it has issued shares, but has not commenced business, termination is accomplished by filing Articles of termination of corporate existence by the initial directors or the incorporators with the Commission, and the Commission's issuance and recording of a certificate of termination of corporate existence. You may use the attached form SCC751 which contains instructions and the required fee on the reverse, or prepare articles which meet the requirements of § 13.1-751 of the Code of Virginia.

NOTE: Until all of the steps in either paragraph 1 or paragraph 2, above, have been accomplished (or the corporation has been otherwise terminated for failure to file its annual report or pay its annual registration fee or maintain a registered office and registered agent), the corporation will remain active on the Commission's records and remain liable for payment of annual registration fees and for filing of annual reports (even if it has otherwise wound up its affairs).

IF TERMINATION OF CORPORATE EXISTENCE IS ACCOMPLISHED PRIOR TO THE ANNUAL REPORT DUE DATE PRESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION C OF § 13.1-775 OF THE CODE OF VIRGINIA OF A GIVEN YEAR, THE CORPORATION'S ANNUAL REGISTRATION FEE ASSESSMENT FOR THAT YEAR WILL BE CANCELED; OTHERWISE, IT MUST BE PAID. See § 13.1-615 of the Code of Virginia.
