§ 375. Statement of domestication; effectiveness. (a) General rule.--A statement of domestication shall be signed by the domesticating entity and delivered to the department for filing along with the certificates, if any, required by section 139 (relating to tax clearance of certain fundamental transactions).  (b) Contents.--A statement of domestication shall contain all of the following:  (1) With respect to the domesticating entity: (i) its name; (ii) its jurisdiction of formation; (iii) its type; (iv) the date on which it was first created, incorporated, formed or otherwise came into existence;  (v) if it is a domestic filing entity, domestic limited liability partnership or registered foreign association, the address of its registered office, including street and number, if any, in this Commonwealth, subject to section 109 (relating to name of commercial registered office provider in lieu of registered address);  (vi) if it is a domestic entity that is not a domestic filing entity or limited liability partnership, the address, including street and number, if any, of its principal office; and  (vii) if it is a nonregistered foreign association, the address, including street and number, if any, of:  (A) its registered or similar office, if any, required to be maintained by the laws of its jurisdiction of formation; or  (B) if it is not required to maintain a registered or similar office, its principal office. (2) With respect to the domesticated entity: (i) its name; (ii) its jurisdiction of formation; (iii) its type; (iv) if it is a domestic filing entity, domestic limited liability partnership or registered foreign association, the address of its registered office, including street and number, if any, in this Commonwealth, subject to section 109;  (v) if it is a domestic entity that is not a domestic filing entity or limited liability partnership, the address, including street and number, if any, of its principal office; and  (vi) if it is a nonregistered foreign association, the address, including street and number, if any, of:  (A) its registered or similar office, if any, required to be maintained by the laws of its jurisdiction of formation; or  (B) if it is not required to maintain a registered or similar office, its principal office. (3) If the statement of domestication is not to be effective on filing, the later date or date and time on which it will become effective.  (4) If the domesticating entity is a domestic entity, a statement that the plan of domestication was approved in accordance with Subchapter B (relating to approval of entity transactions) or, if the domesticating entity is a foreign entity, a statement that the domestication was approved in accordance with section 373(b) (relating to approval of domestication).  (5) If the domesticated entity is a domestic filing entity, its public organic record as an attachment. The public organic record does not need to state the name or address of an incorporator of a corporation, organizer of a limited liability company or similar person with respect to any other type of entity.  (6) If the domesticated entity is a domestic limited liability partnership or a domestic limited liability limited partnership that is not using the alternative procedure in section 8201(f) (relating to scope), its statement of registration as an attachment.  (7) If the domesticated entity is an electing partnership, its statement of election as an attachment.  (8) If the domesticating entity is to be a domestic entity in both this Commonwealth and the foreign jurisdiction, a statement to that effect.  (c) Other provisions.--In addition to the requirements of subsection (b), a statement of domestication may contain any other provision not prohibited by law.  (d) Public organic record of new domestic entity.--If the domesticated entity is a domestic entity, its public organic record, if any, must satisfy the requirements of the laws of this Commonwealth, except that it does not need to be signed and may omit any provision that is not required to be included in a restatement of the public organic record.  (e) Filing of plan.--A plan of domestication that is signed by a domesticating entity that is a domestic entity and meets all of the requirements of subsection (b) may be delivered to the department for filing instead of a statement of domestication and on filing has the same effect. If a plan of domestication is filed as provided in this subsection, references in this chapter to a statement of domestication refer to the plan of domestication filed under this subsection.  (f) Effectiveness of domestication.--A domestication in which the domesticated entity is a domestic entity is effective when the statement of domestication is effective under section 136(c) (relating to processing of documents by Department of State). A domestication in which the domesticated entity is a foreign entity becomes effective on the later of:  (1) the date and time provided by the organic law of the domesticated entity; or (2) when the statement of domestication is effective. (g) Cross references.--See sections 134 (relating to docketing statement) and 135 (relating to requirements to be met by filed documents).    Cross References.
