§425-192 Conversion into and from partnerships or limited liability partnerships. (a) A domestic partnership or limited liability partnership may adopt a plan of conversion and convert to a foreign partnership, limited liability partnership, or any other entity if:
(1) The domestic partnership or limited liability partnership acts on and its partners approve a plan of conversion in the manner prescribed by sections 425-203 and 428-904 to 428-906 and the conversion is treated as a merger to which the converting entity is a party and not the surviving entity;

(3) At the time the conversion becomes effective, each partner of the converting entity, unless otherwise agreed to by that partner, owns an equity interest or other ownership interest in, and is a shareholder, partner, member, owner, or other security holder of, the converted entity; and
(4) The converted entity shall be incorporated, formed, or organized as part of or pursuant to the plan of conversion.
(b) Any foreign partnership, limited liability partnership, or other entity may adopt a plan of conversion and convert to a domestic partnership or limited liability partnership if the conversion is permitted by and complies with the laws of the state or country in which the foreign partnership, limited liability partnership, or other entity is incorporated, formed, or organized.
(c) A plan of conversion shall set forth:
(1) The name of the converting entity and the converted entity;
(2) A statement that the converting entity is continuing its existence in the organizational form of the converted entity;
(3) A statement describing the organizational form of the converted entity and the state or country under the laws of which the converted entity is to be incorporated, formed, or organized; and
(4) The manner and basis of converting the partnership interests, or other forms of ownership of the converting entity into partnership interests, or other forms of ownership of the converted entity, or any combination thereof.
(d) A plan of conversion may set forth any other provisions relating to the conversion that are not prohibited by law, including without limitation the initial partnership or limited liability partnership agreement of the converted entity if the converted entity is a partnership or limited liability partnership.
