The New York Merger Cover Sheet is a legal document that is filed with the New York State Department of State when two or more corporations merge. The cover sheet is used to provide information about the corporations involved in the merger, such as the names of the merging entities, their addresses, their county of formation, and the date of the merger. It is also used to inform the Department of State of the merger and provide the names of the authorized representatives of the merging entities. The New York Merger Cover Sheet is used to document the merger of corporations in the State of New York and is typically required when the merger is approved by the shareholders of each of the merging entities. There are two types of New York Merger Cover Sheet: the Standard Cover Sheet and the Short Form Cover Sheet. The Standard Cover Sheet requires more information than the Short Form, such as the number of shares outstanding for each corporation and the names of the directors and officers.
