2014 Virginia Code
Title 13.1 - Corporations
§ 13.1-1271. Abandonment of domestication

A. Unless a plan of domestication of a domestic business trust prohibits abandonment of the domestication without approval of one or more voting groups, after the domestication has been authorized, and at any time before the certificate of domestication filed in the other jurisdiction has become effective, the domestication may be abandoned without further action by any voting group in accordance with the procedure set forth in the plan or, if none is set forth, in the manner determined by the trustees.

B. If a domestication is abandoned under subsection A after articles of trust surrender have been filed with the Commission but before the certificate of trust surrender has become effective, written notice that the domestication has been abandoned in accordance with this section shall be filed with the Commission prior to the effective date of the certificate of trust surrender. The notice shall take effect upon filing and the domestication shall be deemed abandoned and shall not become effective.

C. If the domestication of a foreign entity into a domestic business trust is abandoned in accordance with the laws of the foreign jurisdiction after articles of domestication have been filed with the Commission but before the certificate of domestication has become effective in this Commonwealth, written notice that the domestication has been abandoned shall be filed with the Commission prior to the effective date of the certificate of domestication. The notice shall take effect upon filing and the domestication shall be deemed abandoned and shall not become effective.
