INTEREST EXCHANGE

30-22-306.  EFFECT OF INTEREST EXCHANGE. (a) When an interest exchange in which the acquired entity is a domestic entity becomes effective:

(1)  The interests in the domestic acquired entity that are the subject of the interest exchange are converted, and the interest holders of those interests are entitled only to the rights provided to them under the plan of interest exchange and to any appraisal rights as provided in section 30-22-109, Idaho Code, and the acquired entity’s organic law;

(2)  The acquiring entity becomes the interest holder of the interests in the acquired entity stated in the plan of interest exchange to be acquired by the acquiring entity;

(3)  The public organic record, if any, of the acquired entity is amended as provided in the statement of interest exchange; and

(4)  The private organic rules of the acquired entity that are to be in a record, if any, are amended to the extent provided in the plan of interest exchange.

(b)  Except as otherwise provided in the organic law or organic rules of the acquired entity, the interest exchange does not give rise to any rights that an interest holder, governor, or third party would have upon a dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the acquired entity.

(c)  When an interest exchange becomes effective, a person that did not have interest holder liability with respect to the acquired entity and becomes subject to interest holder liability with respect to a domestic entity as a result of the interest exchange has interest holder liability only to the extent provided by the organic law of the entity and only for those debts, obligations, and other liabilities that arise after the interest exchange becomes effective.

(d)  When an interest exchange becomes effective, the interest holder liability of a person that ceases to hold an interest in a domestic acquired entity with respect to which the person had interest holder liability is subject to the following rules:

(1)  The interest exchange does not discharge any interest holder liability under the organic law of the domestic acquired entity to the extent the interest holder liability arose before the interest exchange became effective.

(2)  The person does not have interest holder liability under the organic law of the domestic acquired entity for any debt, obligation, or other liability that arises after the interest exchange becomes effective.

(3)  The organic law of the domestic acquired entity continues to apply to the release, collection, or discharge of any interest holder liability preserved under paragraph (1) of this subsection as if the interest exchange had not occurred.

(4)  The person has whatever rights of contribution from any other person as are provided by law other than this chapter or the organic law or organic rules of the domestic acquired entity with respect to any interest holder liability preserved under paragraph (1) of this subsection as if the interest exchange had not occurred.
