Section 10-2A-306

Corporate option where a restriction on transfer of shares is held invalid.

If a restriction on transfer of shares of a close corporation is held not to be authorized by Section 10-2A-41, the corporation shall nevertheless have an option for a period of 30 days after the judgment setting aside the restriction becomes final, to acquire the restricted shares at a price which is agreed upon by the parties or if no agreement is reached as to price, then at the fair value as determined by the circuit court of the county in which the corporation has its registered office or any court in such place having jurisdiction. In order to determine fair value, the court may appoint an appraiser to receive evidence and report to the court his findings and recommendation as to fair value. The appraiser shall have such powers and shall proceed, so far as applicable, in the same manner as appraisers appointed under Section 10-2A-163.
