liquidating distribution

Read a random definition: Equal Time Act

A quick definition of liquidating distribution:

A liquidating distribution is when a company or partnership gives out its assets to its owners because it is closing down. This is different from a nonliquidating distribution, which is when a company gives out extra money or property to its owners while still in business. Other types of distributions include corporate distributions, which are payments made by a corporation to its shareholders, and partnership distributions, which are payments made by a partnership to its partners. Probate distributions are when a court divides up the assets of a deceased person among their heirs. Securities-offering distributions are when a company sells its stocks or bonds to the public, either through a broker or on its own.

A more thorough explanation:

A liquidating distribution is when a company or partnership distributes its assets to its owners or shareholders when it is closing down or dissolving. This is also known as a distribution in liquidation.

For example, if a small business is closing down, it may sell its equipment and other assets and distribute the money to its owners. This is a liquidating distribution.

Another example is when a partnership is ending, and the partners receive their share of the partnership's assets. This is also a liquidating distribution.

I know Hillsdale College has a reputation for being strange but I attended a cool religious law even there so would it be hurt me to put it in a statement given their rep? I don't want them to think I'm from the stone age :c

@misoissocute: I agree :) I'm actually are at a Jesuit Catholic school for undergrad and was invited to attend the event by a mentor in my program (I'm actually a theology and religious studies student). We have an early grand program so I'm not applying to a religious law school but I am trying to go to one that still values that perspective. :) It is a very secluded school though! :D lol
