E.__The court shall determine whether each dissenting |
shareholder, as to whom the company requests a |
determination, has satisfied the requirements of this |
section and is entitled to receive payment for the shares. |
As to any dissenting shareholder with respect to whom the |
corporation makes such a request, the burden is on the |
shareholder to prove that the shareholder is entitled to |
receive payment. The court shall then proceed to fix the |
fair value of the shares. The court may, if it so elects, |
appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive |
evidence and recommend a decision on the question of fair |
value. The appraisers have such power and authority as is |
specified in the court order appointing them or in any |
amendment of the order. |
