1. Whenever any corporation becomes
insolvent or suspends its ordinary business for want of funds to carry on the
business, or if its business has been and is being conducted at a great loss
and greatly prejudicial to the interest of its creditors or members, creditors
holding 10 percent of the outstanding indebtedness, or members, if any, having
10 percent of the voting power to elect directors, may, by petition or bill of
complaint setting forth the facts and circumstances of the case, apply to the
district court of the county in which the principal office of the corporation
is located or to the district court in the county in which the corporations
registered office is located for a writ of injunction and the appointment of a
receiver or receivers or trustee or trustees.
2. The court, being satisfied by affidavit
or otherwise of the sufficiency of the application and of the truth of the
allegations contained in the petition or bill, and upon hearing after such
notice as the court by order may direct, shall proceed in a summary way to hear
the affidavits, proofs and allegations which may be offered in behalf of the
parties.
3. If upon the inquiry it appears to the
court that the corporation has become insolvent and is not about to resume its
business in a short time thereafter, or that its business has been and is being
conducted at a great loss and greatly prejudicial to the interests of its creditors
or members, so that its business cannot be conducted with safety to the public,
it may issue an injunction to restrain the corporation and its officers and
agents from exercising any of its privileges or franchises and from collecting
or receiving any debts or paying out, selling, assigning or transferring any of
its estate, money, funds, lands, tenements or effects, except to a receiver
appointed by the court, until the court otherwise orders.
