Termination of status as benefit corporation.
S.C. Code Ann. § 33-38-220
in effect(A) A benefit corporation may terminate its status and cease to be subject to this chapter by amending its articles of incorporation to remove the provision that the corporation is a benefit corporation governed by this chapter. The amendment must be approved in the manner required by Section 33-38-230. Any sale, lease, exchange, or other disposition of all, or substantially all, of the property of a benefit corporation, unless the transaction is in the usual and regular course of business, shall not be effective unless it is approved in the manner required by Section 33-38-230. (B) If a plan of merger, conversion, or share exchange would have the effect of terminating the status of a benefit corporation as a benefit corporation, the plan must be approved in the manner required by Section 33-38-230. Code Commissioner's Note At the direction of the Code Commissioner, the reference in subsection (A) to "Section 33-38-20" was changed to "Section 33-38-230" to correct a typographical error.
