Maine Articles of Consolidation are legal documents filed with the Maine Secretary of State to form a new corporation by combining two or more existing domestic or foreign corporations. This process is also known as a “merger”. These Articles outline the terms and conditions of the consolidation, including the names of the corporations involved, the purpose of the consolidation, and the manner in which the rights, powers, and property of the corporations will be treated. There are two types of Maine Articles of Consolidation: Type A and Type B. Type A Articles are used when the resulting corporation will be a Maine corporation and each of the merging corporations are domestic or foreign corporations. Type B Articles are used when the resulting corporation will be a foreign corporation and at least one of the merging corporations is a Maine corporation. Both types of Articles must be signed by the appropriate officers of each merging corporation, and must be accompanied by a filing fee.
