(4) State that a legitimate reason exists for reinstatement and what such legitimate reason is; and
(5) State that such reinstatement does not constitute fraud on the public.
(d) If the Secretary of State determines that the application for late reinstatement contains the information required by subsection (c) of this section and that the information is correct, the Secretary of State shall cancel the certificate of dissolution and prepare a certificate of late reinstatement reciting that determination and the effective date of reinstatement, file the original of the certificate, and serve a copy on the corporation under section 21-1937.
