We contemplate merging a Minnesota cooperative association into a Wisconsin cooperative association. Do we use DFI Form 2000 (“Articles of Merger”)?
No. The language and references in Form 2000 are inappropriate for a merger of cooperative associations. Draft your own Articles of Merger in compliance with the requirements of Chapter 185 of the Wisconsin Statutes. How do I compute the filing fee for articles of merger? We are merging three foreign business corporations into a Wisconsin business corporation. Further, the articles of incorporation of the surviving Wisconsin corporation are being amended and restated to increase its authorized shares from 100,000 to 1,000,000. The fee for filing articles of merger under Chapters 179, 180, 181 and 183 is a flat $150.00, no matter how many domestic and foreign entities are involved in the merger. Because Chapter 180 filing fees are no longer computed on the basis of authorized shares, no additional fee would be due as a result of an increase in the number of authorized shares of the surviving Wisconsin corporation. A Pennsylvania corporation is merging into a Louisiana corporation. Both
