From Dissolution in PA —The Death Of A Pennsylvania Business Corporation:

The acts of the directors, or those in control of the corporation are illegal, oppressive or fraudulent and that it is beneficial to the interests of the shareholders that the corporation be wound up and dissolved;
The corporate assets are being misapplied or wasted, and it is beneficial to the interests of the shareholders that the corporation be wound up and dissolved; or
The directors are deadlocked in the direction of the management of the business and affairs of the corporation and the shareholders are unable to break the deadlock, such that irreparable injury to the corporation is being suffered or is threatened as a result.
