Please be advised that Benesch has received this document and others like it, which are being circulated to corporations throughout the State of Ohio. These documents are being mistaken for official forms from the Secretary of State’s office for various states. These documents are requests for information that purport themselves to be Annual Minutes Disclosure Statements from the State. The organization that is sending these documents is attempting to collect a fee of $150.00 for the provision of unnecessary services, as well as attempting to collect corporate information which is not available to the public, such as names of shareholders, officers and directors. THESE DOCUMENTS ARE NOT OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS ISSUED BY THE STATE OF OHIO AND SHOULD BE DISREGARDED.
Please inform any of your employees that might be tasked with responding to these types of requests to be cautious and to avoid providing routine responses without first determining the legitimacy of the request.
In this regard, do not hesitate to contact one of the attorneys in Benesch’s Corporate and Securities Practice Group with any questions or for more information on this matter.
