31A. Ratification by company of contracts made before incorporation

Any contract or other transaction purporting to be entered into by a company prior to its formation may be ratified by the company after its formation and thereupon the company shall become bound and entitled to the benefit thereof as if it had been in existence at the date of the contract or other transaction and had been a party thereto.

Prior to ratification by the company, the persons or persons who purported to act in the name or on behalf of the company shall, in the absence of any express agreement to the contrary, be personally bound by the contract or other transaction and entitled to the benefit thereof.
