Art. 740 OR
Die Liquidation wird durch den Verwaltungsrat besorgt, sofern sie nicht in den Statuten oder durch einen Beschluss der Generalversammlung anderen Personen übertragen wird.
Die Liquidatoren sind vom Verwaltungsrat zur Eintragung in das Handelsregister anzumelden, auch wenn die Liquidation vom Verwaltungsrat besorgt wird.
Wenigstens einer der Liquidatoren muss in der Schweiz wohnhaft und zur Vertretung berechtigt sein.
Wird die Gesellschaft durch richterliches Urteil aufgelöst, so bestimmt das Gericht die Liquidatoren.
Im Falle des Konkurses besorgt die Konkursverwaltung die Liquidation nach den Vorschriften des Konkursrechtes. Die Organe der Gesellschaft behalten die Vertretungsbefugnis nur, soweit eine Vertretung durch sie noch notwendig ist.
