(1)When an interest exchange in which the acquired entity is a domestic limited liability company becomes effective:
(a)The interests in a domestic company which are the subject of the interest exchange cease to exist or are converted or exchanged, and the members holding those interests are entitled only to the rights provided to them under the plan of interest exchange and to any appraisal rights they have under ss. 605.1006 and 605.1061 - 605.1072 ;
(b)The acquiring entity becomes the interest holder of the interests in the acquired entity stated in the plan of interest exchange to be acquired by the acquiring entity;
(c)The public organic record of the acquired entity is amended as provided in the articles of interest exchange; and
(d)The provisions of the private organic rules of the acquired entity that are to be in a record, if any, are amended to the extent provided in the plan of interest exchange.
(2)Except as otherwise provided in the organic rules of the acquired limited liability company, the interest exchange does not give rise to any rights that a member, manager, or third party would have upon a dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the acquired entity.
(3)When an interest exchange becomes effective, a person who did not have interest holder liability with respect to a domestic-acquired limited liability company and who becomes subject to interest holder liability with respect to a domestic entity as a result of the interest exchange will have interest holder liability only to the extent provided by the organic law of the entity and only for those debts, obligations, and other liabilities that arise after the interest exchange becomes effective.
(4)When an interest exchange becomes effective, the interest holder liability of a person who ceases to hold an interest in a domestic-acquired limited liability company with respect to which the person had interest holder liability is as follows:
(a)The interest exchange does not discharge any interest holder liability to the extent the interest holder liability arose before the interest exchange became effective.
(b)The person does not have interest holder liability for any debt, obligation, or other liability that arises after the interest exchange becomes effective.
(c)The organic law of the acquired entity’s jurisdiction of formation and any rights of contribution provided by such law, or under the organic rules of the acquired entity, continue to apply to the release, collection, or discharge of any interest holder liability preserved under paragraph
(a)as if the interest exchange had not occurred.
