Upon issuance of a certificate of continuance by the secretary of state, the articles of continuance shall be deemed to be the articles of organization of the continued limited liability company. The limited liability company may elect to incorporate by reference in the articles of continuance its basic charter or other authorization which has been adopted by it in the foreign jurisdiction, in order to permit the same to continue to act as the articles of organization, provided, however, that the basic charter or other authorization shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to make the same conform to the laws of Wyoming and to the provisions of the articles of continuance.

17-15-144. Flexible limited liability company.
(a) The provisions of this section shall apply only to those limited liability companies which have elected to be flexible limited liability companies by an affirmative statement in their articles of organization expressly referring to W.S. 17-15-107(a)(x). All provisions of the Wyoming Limited Liability Company Act shall be applicable to a flexible limited liability company except to the extent expressly replaced or superseded by the provisions of this section.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this act, a flexible limited liability company is dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the occurrence of any event described in W.S. 17-15-123(a) or upon the happening of any other event or events specified in the operating agreement, unless the business of the flexible limited liability company is continued either by the consent of all of the remaining members following the occurrence of any such event or pursuant to a right to continue stated in the operating agreement.

If the articles of organization of a flexible limited liability company do not expressly set forth such election and specifically refer to this subsection, it shall be presumed that the flexible limited liability company has not made the election authorized under this subsection.
On application to a court of competent jurisdiction by a judgment creditor of a member of a limited liability company or a member's transferee, the court may charge the member's distributional interest in the limited liability company with payment of the unsatisfied amount of the judgment with interest. To the extent so charged, the judgment creditor has only the rights of a transferee of the member's interest as provided in W.S. 17-15-122. The charging order is the exclusive remedy by which a judgment creditor of the member or transferee may satisfy a judgment against the member's interest in a limited liability company. This section does not deprive any member of a limited liability company of the benefit of any exemption laws applicable to the member's interest.
17-15-146. Conversion of limited liability company to corporation.
