The court shall hold a hearing, after notifying all parties to the proceeding and any interested persons designated by the court, before appointing a receiver or custodian. The court appointing a receiver or custodian has exclusive jurisdiction over the corporation and all of its property wherever located.(2) The court may appoint a natural person or an eligible entity authorized to act as a receiver or custodian. The eligible entity may be a domestic eligible entity or a foreign eligible entity authorized to transact business in this state. The court may require the receiver or custodian to post bond, with or without sureties, in an amount the court directs.(3) The court shall describe the powers and duties of the receiver or custodian in its appointing order, which may be amended from time to time. Among other powers: (a) The receiver: 1. May dispose of all or any part of the assets of the corporation wherever located, at a public or private sale, if authorized by the court; and2. May sue and defend in his, her, or its own name as receiver of the corporation in all courts of this state.(b) The custodian may exercise all of the powers of the corporation, through or in place of its board of directors or officers, to the extent necessary to manage the affairs of the corporation in the best interests of its shareholders and creditors.(4) The court during a receivership may redesignate the receiver a custodian, and during a custodianship may redesignate the custodian a receiver, if doing so is determined by the court to be in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders and creditors.(5) The court from time to time during the receivership or custodianship may order compensation paid and expense disbursements or reimbursements made to any receiver or custodian and his, her, or its counsel from the assets of the corporation or proceeds from the sale of the assets.(6) The court has jurisdiction to appoint an ancillary receiver for the assets and business of a corporation. The ancillary receiver shall serve ancillary to a receiver located in any other state, whenever the court deems that circumstances exist requiring the appointment of such a receiver. The court may appoint such an ancillary receiver for a foreign corporation even though no receiver has been appointed elsewhere. Such receivership shall be converted into an ancillary receivership when an order entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the other state provides for a receivership of the corporation.s. 133, ch. 89-154; s.35, ch. 97-102; s.191, ch. 2019-90; s. 52, ch. 2020-32.Amended by 2020 Fla.
