A Minnesota Statement of Merger is a document that is filed with the Minnesota Secretary of State to create a new legal entity when two or more existing businesses merge. This document must include the names of the merging businesses, their articles of incorporation, and a plan of merger. There are two types of Minnesota Statement of Merger: voluntary and involuntary. A voluntary merger is when two or more businesses voluntarily decide to merge. An involuntary merger is when one business is merged into another. In either case, the Minnesota Statement of Merger must be filed with the Secretary of State in order to create the new legal entity.
