An Oregon Certificate of Merger is a document used to formally merge two or more businesses into one legal entity, or to convert one entity into another under Oregon state law. It is typically filed with the Oregon Secretary of State, and requires approval from the Secretary before the merger can take effect. There are two types of Oregon Certificate of Merger: statutory merger and domestic conversion. A statutory merger is required when two or more existing businesses are merging into one. A domestic conversion is used when one business is converting into another type of business, such as a limited liability company (LLC) or a corporation. The Certificate of Merger must include information about the merging businesses, including the names of the parties and the date of the merger. It must also include a statement of compliance, stating that the merger complies with all Oregon laws and regulations.
