Regarding medical corporation merger procedures
What is a medical corporation merger?
"Merger of medical corporations" refers to two or more medical corporations becoming one medical corporation through a mutual agreement.
All assets of the dissolving medical corporation will be comprehensively transferred to the surviving medical corporation or the newly established medical corporation, with the effect that its members will become members of the surviving medical corporation or the newly established medical corporation.
Merger of a medical corporation that is an incorporated association and a medical corporation that is a foundation is also permitted.
Types of medical corporation mergers
Mergers of medical corporations are permitted to be either absorption-type mergers or incorporation-type mergers.
An absorption-type merger is a merger between a medical corporation and another medical corporation, in which all rights and obligations of the medical corporation that disappears as a result of the merger are inherited by the medical corporation that continues to exist after the merger.
A merger is a merger between two or more medical corporations in which all rights and obligations of the medical corporations that disappear as a result of the merger are succeeded to the medical corporation that is newly established as a result of the merger.
