Nebraska Publication Requirements

Section 21-20, 189 of the Nebraska Business Corporation Act sets forth a requirement that each Nebraska corporation must publish a detailed notice in a newspaper of the County in which the company's office is located. The notices must run once per week for three weeks. Proof of publication must be filed with the Nebraska Secretary of State's office.

Publication and notice requirements.

1. Notice of incorporation, amendment, merger, or share exchange of a domestic corporation subject to the Business Corporation Act shall be published for three successive weeks in some legal newspaper of general circulation in the county where the corporation's principal office, or, if none in this state, its registered office, is located.

A notice of incorporation shall show (a) the corporate name for the corporation, (b) the number of shares the corporation is authorized to issue, (c) the street address of the corporation's initial registered office and the name of its initial registered agent at that office, and (d) the name and street address of each incorporator. A brief resume of any amendment, merger, or share exchange of the corporation shall be published in the same manner and for the same period of time as a notice of incorporation is required to be published.

2. Notice of the dissolution of a domestic corporation and the terms and conditions of such dissolution and the names of the persons who are to wind up and liquidate its business and affairs and their official titles, with a statement of assets and liabilities of the corporation, shall be published for three successive weeks in some legal newspaper of general circulation in the county where the corporation's principal office, or, if none in this state, its registered office, is located.

3. Proof of publication of any of the notices required to be published under this section shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of State. In the event any notice required to be given pursuant to this section is not given, but is subsequently published for the required time, and proof of the publication thereof is filed in the office of the Secretary of State, the acts of such corporation prior to, as well as after, such publication shall be valid.
