One or more companies may, by means of a merger, transfer their assets and liabilities to an existing company or to a new company that they form.
This option is open to companies in liquidation provided that the distribution of their assets and liabilities among the members has not been the subject of a start on execution.
The members of companies that transfer their assets under this arrangement receive shares in the beneficiary company or companies and, if applicable, a cash balance, the amount of which may not exceed 10% of the nominal value of the shares allocated.
