1. If (1) one corporation’s (“the parent”) ownership in another corporation[1] or corporations (“the subsidiary”) amounts to at least 90% of the outstanding shares of each class of stock entitled to vote on a merger and (2) at least one of these corporations is a Delaware corporation and unless the laws or a foreign corporation prohibit such merger, the parent may merge into or with the subsidiary simply by executing, acknowledging and filing, in accordance with § 103, a certificate of such ownership and merger setting forth a copy of the resolution of its board to so merge and the date of the adoption (“short-form merger”).If the parent owns less than 100% of the subsidiary, the resolution of the parent’s board shall state the terms and conditions of the merger, including the merger consideration paid to the subsidiary’s minority shareholders. Conditions are allowed to the same extent as in a normal merger.If the parent is not the surviving corporation, the resolution shall include provision for the pro rata issuance of stock of the surviving corporation to the holders of the stock of the parent corporation on surrender of any certificates therefor, and the certificate of ownership and merger shall state that the proposed merger has been approved by a majority of the outstanding stock of the parent entitled to vote thereon at a meeting duly called and held after 20 days’ notice of the purpose of the meeting given to each such stockholder at the stockholder’s record address (or the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction if the parent is a foreign corporation).

   § 252(d) and 258(c) apply to short-form mergers.

2. If the surviving corporation is a Delaware corporation, it may change its corporate name by the inclusion of a provision to that effect in the resolution of merger adopted by the directors of the parent and set forth in the certificate of ownership and merger.
3. § 251(d) applies to a short-form merger, and § 251(e) applies to a short-form merger in which the surviving corporation is a Delaware subsidiary. References to “agreement of merger” in § 251(d), (e) shall mean for purposes of this subsection the resolution of merger adopted by the parent’s board. A merger which effects any changes other than those authorized by this section or made applicable by this subsection cannot be accomplished as a short-form merger. § 262 shall not apply to short-form mergers, except as provided in subsection (d) of this section.
4. In the event of a short-form merger involving a Delaware subsidiary not 100% owned by the parent, the stockholders of the Delaware subsidiary shall have appraisal rights as set forth in § 262.
