Section 101.635. Effects of Merger of Merging Series

Sec. 101.635. EFFECTS OF MERGER OF MERGING SERIES. (a) When a merger of merging series takes effect:
(1) the separate existence of each merging series that is a party to the merger, other than a surviving merging series or a new protected series or registered series, ceases;
(2) all rights, title, and interests to all real estate and other property owned by each merging series that is a party to the merger is allocated to and vested, subject to any existing liens or other encumbrances on the property, in one or more of the series as provided by the plan of merger without:
(A) reversion or impairment;
(B) any further act or deed; or
(C) any transfer or assignment having occurred;
(3) all liabilities and obligations of each merging series that is a party to the merger are allocated to one or more of the surviving or new series provided by the plan of merger;
(4) each surviving or new series to which a liability or obligation is allocated under the plan of merger is the primary obligor for the liability or obligation, and, except as otherwise provided by the plan of merger or by law or contract, no other party to the merger, other than a surviving merging series liable or otherwise obligated at the time of the merger, and no other new registered series or protected series created under the plan of merger is liable for the debt or other obligation;
(5) any proceeding pending by or against any merging series that is a party to the merger may be continued as if the merger did not occur, or the surviving or new series to which the liability, obligation, asset, or right associated with that proceeding is allocated to and vested in under the plan of merger may be substituted in the proceeding;
(6) any amendment to the company agreement provided by the plan of merger becomes effective;
(7) any amendment to the certificate of registered series of a surviving registered series that is contained in the certificate of merger, and any certificate of amendment attached to the certificate of merger that contains amendments to the certificate of registered series of a surviving registered series, becomes effective;
(8) each new registered series whose certificate of registered series is included in the plan of merger and filed with the certificate of merger, on meeting any additional requirements, if any, of this subchapter for the series' formation, is formed as a registered series under this subchapter as provided by the plan of merger; and
(9) the membership interests of each merging series that is a party to the merger and that are to be converted or exchanged, wholly or partly, into membership interests, obligations, rights to purchase securities, or other securities of one or more of the surviving or new series, into cash or other property, including membership interests, obligations, rights to purchase securities, or other securities of any organization, or into any combination of these, or that are to be canceled or remain outstanding, are converted, exchanged, canceled, or remain outstanding as provided in the plan of merger, and the former members who held membership interests of each merging series that is a party to the merger are entitled only to the rights provided by the plan of merger.
(b) If the plan of merger does not provide for the allocation and vesting of the right, title, and interest in any particular real estate or other property or for the allocation of any liability or obligation of any party to the merger, the unallocated property is owned in undivided interest by, or the liability or obligation is the joint and several liability and obligation of, each of the surviving and new series, pro rata to the total number of surviving and new series resulting from the merger.
(c) Unless otherwise agreed, a merger of a merging series of a limited liability company, including a merging series which is not a surviving or new series resulting from the merger:
(1) does not require such merging series to wind up its affairs under Section 101.616 or pay its liabilities and distribute its assets under Sections 11.053 and 101.617; and
(2) does not constitute an event requiring winding up of the merging series.
