ANSWER:

Hello,

  • A draft project for the change of legal form must be prepared.
  • The draft project is prepared by the statutory body of the company.
  • The draft project must include:
    • The company’s business name, registered office, and identification number before the change,
    • The new legal form and business name after the change,
    • The shareholding structure or contributions of partners after the change,
    • The identity of persons who will serve as statutory bodies or members thereof,
    • The identity of supervisory board members (if applicable).
  • The draft project for the change of legal form must be accompanied by the proposed articles of association and the proposed bylaws of the company after the transformation.
  • The provisions of § 14 apply accordingly to the cancellation of an approved project for the change of legal form.
