§ 4155. Effect of domestication
(a) When a domestication takes effect:
(1) the domesticated company is for all purposes the company that existed before the domestication;
(2) all property owned by the domesticating company remains vested in the domesticated
company;
(3) all debts, obligations, or other liabilities of the domesticating company continue
as debts, obligations, or other liabilities of the domesticated company;
(4) an action or proceeding pending by or against a domesticating company may be continued
as if the domestication had not occurred;
(5) 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;
(6) except as otherwise provided in the plan of domestication, the terms and conditions
of the plan of domestication take effect; and
(7) except as otherwise agreed, the domestication does not dissolve a domesticating limited
liability company for the purposes of subchapter 7 of this chapter.
(b)(1) 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.
(2) 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.
(3) Service on the Secretary of State under this subsection must be made in the same manner
and has the same consequences as in section 4010 of this title.
(c) If a limited liability company has adopted and approved a plan of domestication under
section 4152 of this title providing for the company to be domesticated in a foreign jurisdiction, a statement
surrendering the company’s certificate of organization must be delivered to the Secretary
of State for filing, setting forth:
(1) the name of the company;
(2) a statement that the certificate of organization is being surrendered in connection
with the domestication of the company in a foreign jurisdiction;
(3) a statement the domestication was approved as required by this title; and
