MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN

STOCK AND NONSTOCK CORPORATIONS

A. Any one or more domestic corporations, whether stock or

nonstock corporations and whether or not organized for profit, may

merge or consolidate with one or more foreign corporations, unless

the laws of the jurisdiction or jurisdictions under which such

foreign corporation or corporations are organized prohibit such

merger or consolidation. The constituent corporations may merge

into a single surviving corporation, which may be any one of the

constituent corporations, or they may consolidate into a new

resulting corporation formed by the consolidation, which may be a

corporation of the jurisdiction of organization of any one of the

constituent corporations, pursuant to an agreement of merger or

consolidation, as the case may be, complying and approved in

accordance with the provisions of this section. The surviving or

resulting corporation may be either a domestic or foreign stock

corporation or a domestic or foreign nonstock corporation, as shall

be specified in the agreement of merger or consolidation required by

the provisions of subsection B of this section. For purposes of

this section, the term "foreign corporation" includes a nonstock

corporation organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than

this state.

B. The method and procedure to be followed by the constituent

corporations so merging or consolidating shall be as prescribed in

Section 1086 of this title in the case of domestic corporations.

The agreement of merger or consolidation shall be as provided in

Section 1086 of this title and also set forth such other provisions

or facts as required to be set forth in an agreement of merger or

consolidation, including any provision for amendment of the

certificate of incorporation or equivalent document of a surviving

foreign corporation, by the laws of the jurisdiction or

jurisdictions which are stated in the agreement to be the laws under

which the foreign corporation or corporations are organized. The

agreement, in the case of foreign corporations, shall be adopted,

approved, certified, executed and acknowledged by each of the

constituent foreign corporations in accordance with the laws under

which each is organized.
