(1) If shares must be acquired under Section 79-10-37, the professional corporation shall deliver a written notice to the executor or administrator of the estate of its deceased shareholder, or to the disqualified person or transferee, offering to purchase the shares at a price the corporation believes represents their fair value as of the date of death, disqualification, or transfer. The offer notice must be accompanied by the corporation’s balance sheet for the most recent fiscal year ending prior to the date of death or disqualification, an income statement for that fiscal year, a statement of changes in shareholders’ equity for that fiscal year, and the latest available interim financial statements, if any.

(2) The disqualified person has thirty (30) days from the effective date of the notice to accept the corporation’s offer or demand that the corporation commence a proceeding under Section 79-10-41 to determine the fair value of his shares. If he accepts the offer, the corporation shall make payment for the shares within sixty (60) days from the effective date of the offer notice (unless a later date is agreed on) upon the disqualified person’s surrender of his shares to the corporation.

(3) After the corporation makes payment for the shares, the disqualified person has no further interest in them.
