Articles Of Merger Or Share Exchange Of Corporations {39036}

State Form 39036 - ARTICLES OF MERGER OR SHARE EXCHANGE OF CORPORATIONS. This form is used to legally document and register the merger or share exchange of two or more for-profit corporations in the state of Indiana. A merger occurs when one or more corporations (the nonsurviving corporations) combine into another corporation (the surviving corporation), while a share exchange involves one corporation acquiring all or part of the shares of another corporation. This form provides essential details, including the names of the surviving and nonsurviving corporations, their states of incorporation, and the date of incorporation or registration in Indiana. The form also outlines the method of approval for the merger or share exchange, specifying whether it was authorized by the board of directors alone or required shareholder approval. If shareholder voting was necessary, the form records the number of outstanding shares, votes cast, and the outcome of the vote. Additionally, it includes registered agent information for the surviving corporation to ensure legal and official communications can be properly directed. Upon approval and filing with the Indiana Secretary of State, the merger becomes legally effective, and any assumed business names of the nonsurviving corporation(s) are canceled unless the surviving corporation files for their continued use. www.FormsWorkflow.com
