• $2,500 special handling fee to be charged in addition to all customary disbursements
• The filing will not be processed until the state re-opens on 1/3/22
• Prepositioning is MANDATORY and at least 24-hours advance notice is requested
• Please reach out to your service representative for assistance with your year-end filings.

The Division of Corporations will be closed on December 24th and December 31st.
