Statute Text
Subscription for shares before incorporation.
(1) A subscription for shares entered into before
incorporation is irrevocable for six months unless the subscription agreement
provides a longer or shorter period or all the subscribers agree to revocation.
(2) The board of
directors may determine the payment term of subscriptions for shares that were
entered into before incorporation unless the subscription agreement specifies
the payment term. A call for payment by the board of directors must be uniform
so far as practicable as to all shares of the same class or series, unless the
subscription agreement specifies otherwise.
(3) Shares issued
pursuant to subscriptions entered into before incorporation are fully paid and
nonassessable when the corporation receives the consideration specified in the
subscription agreement.
(4) If a
subscriber defaults in payment of money or property under a subscription
agreement entered into before incorporation, the corporation may collect the
amount owed as any other debt. Alternatively, unless the subscription agreement
provides otherwise, the corporation may rescind the agreement if the debt
remains unpaid more than 20 days after the corporation sends a written demand
for payment to the subscriber.
(5) A
subscription agreement entered into after incorporation is a contract between
the subscriber and the corporation subject to ORS 60.147. [1987 c.52 §37; 2017
c.55 §7]
