　　§ 9.52. ACTION ON A PLAN OF ENTITY CONVERSION 依據(jù)實體轉(zhuǎn)化計劃采取的行為

　　In the case of an entity conversion of a domestic business corporation to a domestic or foreign unincorporated entity:

　　如果實體轉(zhuǎn)化是由本州的公司轉(zhuǎn)化為本州或外州的非公司實體：

　　(1)The plan of entity conversion must be adopted by the board of directors.

　　實體轉(zhuǎn)化計劃書應(yīng)由董事會來選定。

　　(2) After adopting the plan of entity conversion, the board of directors must submit the plan to the shareholders for their approval. The board of directors must also transmit to the shareholders a recommendation that the shareholders approve the plan, unless the board of directors makes a determination that because of conflicts of interest or other special circumstances it should not make such a recommendation, in which case the board of directors must transmit to the shareholders the basis for that determination.

　　在選定了實體計劃書之后，董事會必須將計劃書提交股東批準(zhǔn)。董事會也可以給股東傳送一份建議書，建議股東批準(zhǔn)該計劃書，除非董事會認(rèn)為，因為利益的沖突或其他特殊的情況不應(yīng)該制作建議書，在這種情況下，董事會必須向股東報告該決定作出的依據(jù)。

　　(3) The board of directors may condition its submission of the plan of entity conversion to the shareholders on any basis.

　　董事會也可以以任何原因，視情況向股東提交實體轉(zhuǎn)化計劃書。

　　(4) If the approval of the shareholders is to be given at a meeting, the corporation must notify each shareholder, whether or not entitled to vote, of the meeting of shareholders at which the plan of entity conversion is to be submitted for approval. The notice must state that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is to consider the plan and must contain or be accompanied by a copy or summary of the plan. The notice shall include or be accompanied by a copy of the organic documents as they will be in effect immediately after the entity conversion.

　　如果股東通過會議決定是否批準(zhǔn)該計劃書，則公司必須通知每一個股東，實體轉(zhuǎn)化計劃書將被提交至股東大會來批準(zhǔn)，不管股東是否有權(quán)投票。該通知書中必須陳述會議的目的或目的之一是討論該計劃書，并且該通知書中應(yīng)包含或附隨一份計劃摘要的副本。在實體轉(zhuǎn)化之后組織文件隨即生效時，該通知應(yīng)包含或附隨一份組織文件的副本。

　　(5) Unless the articles of incorporation, or the board of directors acting pursuant to paragraph (3), requires a greater vote or a greater number of votes to be present, approval of the plan of entity conversion requires the approval of each class or series of shares of the corporation voting as a separate voting group at a meeting at which a quorum of the voting group consisting of at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the conversion by that voting group exists.

　　除非公司章程，或董事會依據(jù)(3)節(jié)的規(guī)定，要求一個更多的票數(shù)或更多的出席會議的票數(shù)，批準(zhǔn)實體轉(zhuǎn)化計劃書要求作為投票團體在會議上投票的每一種類或系列的公司股票的批準(zhǔn)，該會議上存在至少包含有權(quán)對該計劃書投票的多數(shù)票的投票團體的法定人數(shù)。

　　(6) If any provision of the articles of incorporation, bylaws or an agreement to which any of the directors or shareholders are parties, adopted or entered into before [the effective date of this subchapter], applies to a merger of the corporation and the document does not refer to an entity conversion of the corporation, the provision shall be deemed to apply to an entity conversion of the corporation until such time as the provision is subsequently amended.

　　在[本分章生效日之]之前，如果公司章程、內(nèi)部規(guī)章細(xì)則或一個由任何董事或股東作為當(dāng)事人的合同中被采用或生效的條款適用于公司的合并，并且這一文書并未提到該公司實體轉(zhuǎn)化的問題，則該條款應(yīng)被視為適用于該公司的實體轉(zhuǎn)化，一直到該條款后來被修訂時為止。

　　(7) If as a result of the conversion one or more shareholders of the corporation would become subject to owner liability for the debts, obligations or liabilities of any other person or entity, approval of the plan of conversion shall require the execution, by each such shareholder, of a separate written consent tobecome subject to such owner liability.

　　如果由于實體轉(zhuǎn)化，一個或一個以上的公司股東需要對任何其他人或?qū)嶓w的債務(wù)、義務(wù)或責(zé)任承擔(dān)所有者責(zé)任，則實體轉(zhuǎn)化計劃書的批準(zhǔn)要求每一個這樣的股東簽署一個獨立的，表明其承擔(dān)這一所有者責(zé)任的書面同意書。
