The District of Columbia Articles of Merger or Membership Exchange of Domestic For Profit Corporation is a form used by two or more domestic for-profit corporations operating in the District of Columbia to merge together. This form is usually completed by the merging corporations’ respective boards of directors and filed with the District of Columbia Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DORA). It outlines the details of the merger, including the name of the new corporation, the terms of the merger, the amount of consideration to be given to each party, and the name and address of the registered agent of the new corporation. There are two types of mergers or exchanges: a statutory merger and a membership exchange. A statutory merger is the most common type of merger and involves the transfer of all the assets and liabilities of the merging corporations to a new corporation. A membership exchange, also known as a “reincorporation,” involves the transfer of the membership interests of one corporation to the other, with the surviving entity taking on the liabilities of the former entity.
