section shall be deemed trustees of its assets, unless such assets have
been distributed pursuant to section 1002-a (Carrying out the plan of
dissolution and distribution of assets).
(c) The filing of such certificate by the department of state shall

on the date of such publication of the proclamation, as if such
proclamation had not been made and published.
