Kentucky Now Has Public Benefit Corporations


Kentucky Now Has Public Benefit Corporations

      As of today, public benefit corporations may be organized in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. This new organizational form, essentially a special form of a business corporation, will afford corporations, their owners and their management greater flexibility with respect to the application of corporate assets to purposes that may not directly benefit the bottom line and shareholder wealth, but which provide benefits to of the broader community.
      With this new legislation, Kentucky joins the majority of the states (including Delaware) that have statutes to this effect.
