490A.902 - ASSIGNMENT OF INTEREST.
490A.902 ASSIGNMENT OF INTEREST. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of organization or an operating agreement, a membership interest in a limited liability company is assignable in whole or in part. An assignment of an interest in a limited liability company does not dissolve the limited liability company. Except as provided in the articles of organization or an operating agreement, an assignment does not entitle the assignee to participate in the management and affairs of the limited liability company or to become or to exercise any rights of a member. Except as provided in the articles of organization or an operating agreement, an assignment entitles the assignee to receive, to the extent assigned, only the distribution to which the assignor would be entitled. Except as provided in the articles of organization or an operating agreement, a member ceases to be a member upon assignment of the member's entire membership interest. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of organization or an operating agreement, the pledge of, or granting of a security interest, lien, or other encumbrance in or against, any or all of the membership interest of a member shall not cause the member to cease to be a member and shall not deprive the member of the power to exercise any rights or powers of a member. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of organization or an operating agreement and except to the extent assumed by agreement, until an assignee of a membership interest becomes a member, the assignee shall have no liability as a member as a result of the assignment except for liability for a wrongful distribution to the assignee described in section 490A.808.
