N.D. Cent. Code § 10-32.1-70

10-32.1-70. Effect of domestication

1. When a domestication takes effect:

a. The domesticated company is for all purposes the company that existed before

the domestication;

b. All property owned by the domesticating company remains vested in the

domesticated company;

c. All debts, obligations, or other liabilities of the domesticating company continue

as debts, obligations, or other liabilities of the domesticated company;

d. An action or proceeding pending by or against a domesticating company may be

continued as if the domestication had not occurred;

e. Except as prohibited by other law, all of the rights, privileges, immunities, powers,

and purposes of the domesticating company remain vested in the domesticated

company;

f. Except as otherwise provided in the plan of domestication, the terms and

conditions of the plan of domestication take effect; and

g. Except as otherwise agreed, the domestication does not dissolve a domesticating

limited liability company for the purposes of sections 10-32.1-50 through

10-32.1-54.

2. A domesticated company that is a foreign limited liability company consents to the

jurisdiction of the courts of this state to enforce any debt, obligation, or other liability

owed by the domesticating company if, before the domestication, the domesticating

company was subject to suit in this state on the debt, obligation, or other liability. A

domesticated company that is a foreign limited liability company and not authorized to

transact business in this state appoints the secretary of state as its agent for service of

process for purposes of enforcing a debt, obligation, or other liability under this

subsection. Service on the secretary of state under this subsection must be made in

the same manner and has the same consequences as in section 10-32.1-19.

3. If a limited liability company has adopted and approved a plan of domestication under

section 10-32.1-68 providing for the company to be domesticated in a foreign

jurisdiction, then a statement surrendering the articles of organization of the company

must be filed with the secretary of state setting forth:

a. The name of the company;

b. A statement that the articles of organization are being surrendered in connection

with the domestication of the company in a foreign jurisdiction;

c. A statement that the domestication was approved as required by this chapter; and

d. The jurisdiction of formation of the domesticated foreign limited liability company.
