Certificate Of Dissolution (Cooperative Association) {603}

Form 603 - CERTIFICATE OF DISSOLUTION (COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION). This form is used to officially dissolve a cooperative association that was incorporated in the State of Ohio. This filing, required under Ohio Revised Code section 1729.55, allows a cooperative to legally terminate its existence. The form captures important details including the name and charter number of the association, the method by which the resolution to dissolve was adopted (by incorporators, directors, or members), and the location of the association’s principal office. It also includes a section for appointing or updating a statutory agent who will continue to receive legal documents on behalf of the dissolved association. If the dissolution is initiated by incorporators, their names and addresses must be listed. If adopted by directors, the form requires a statement outlining the basis for dissolution (e.g., bankruptcy, expired term of existence, sale of assets, etc.). For dissolutions by directors or members, information about the association’s directors and officers is also required. The form must be signed by a majority of the incorporators or an authorized representative, depending on how the dissolution was approved. The form includes affidavits to confirm that the association has notified the relevant state agencies (e.g., Ohio Department of Taxation, Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation) of its intent to dissolve, and whether the association has any outstanding personal property taxes. These affidavits must be notarized. Once properly completed, the form and accompanying documents should be submitted to the Ohio Secretary of State with the appropriate filing fee. www.FormsWorkflow.com
