given, by which the corporation must receive the claim; (4) That the claim will be barred if the corporation does not receive the claim by the

deadline; (5) That the corporation may make distributions to other creditors or claimants, including

distributions to shareholders of the corporation, without further notice to the claimant. (C) Giving any notice or making any offer under this chapter shall not revive any claim

then barred or constitute acknowledgment by the corporation that any person to whom

the corporation sent notice under this section is a proper claimant and shall not

operate as a waiver of any defense or counterclaim. (D) A claim is barred if a claimant that was given written notice under division (A)

of this section does not deliver the claim to the dissolved corporation by the deadline

stated in the notice. (E) The corporation shall post the notice described in division (B) of this section on

make both of the following available to the public in a format that is searchable,

viewable, and accessible through the internet: (a) A list of all domestic corporations that have filed a certificate of dissolution

or have had their articles canceled; (b) For each dissolved corporation on the list described in division (F)(1)(a) of this

section, a copy of both the certificate of dissolution and the notice delivered under

division (B) of this section. (2) After the materials relating to any dissolved or canceled corporation have been posted

for five years, the secretary of state may remove from the web site the information

that the secretary posted pursuant to division (F)(1) of this section that relates

to that corporation. (G) If the certificate of dissolution is filed five years or less after the effective
