The notice shall give the date of discontinuance and, in the event of a sale or transfer of the business, the date and the name and address of the purchaser or transferee thereof. All road tolls not yet due and payable shall, together with all interest accruing or penalties imposed, notwithstanding any other provisions of this subdivision, become due and payable concurrently with the discontinuance, sale, or transfer, and it shall be the duty of the distributor, concurrently with the discontinuance, sale, or transfer, to make a report and pay all road tolls, interest, and penalties, and to surrender to the department the license certificate issued to the distributor.
