If the secretary of state determines that one or more grounds exist under § 47-24-13.1 for dissolving a corporation, he shall serve the corporation with written notice of his determination under § 47-22-48. If the corporation does not correct each ground for dissolution or demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the secretary of state that each ground determined by the secretary of state does not exist within sixty days after service of the notice is perfected under § 47-22-48, the secretary of state shall administratively dissolve the corporation by signing a certificate of dissolution that recites the ground or grounds for dissolution and its effective date. The secretary of state shall file the original of the certificate and serve a copy on the corporation under § 47-22-48. A corporation administratively dissolved continues its corporate existence but may not carry on any business except that necessary to wind up and liquidate its business and affairs under chapter 47-26 and notify claimants under §§ 47-26-4 and 47-26-34. Administrative dissolution of a corporation does not terminate the authority of its registered agent.
