(1) An application for entry in the register of the new legal form of the legal entity is to be filed with the register in which the legal entity changing its legal form is entered.
(2) Where the legal entity changing its legal form has not been entered in a register, the legal entity in its new legal form is to file an application, with the court having jurisdiction, for entry in the register responsible for the new legal form. The same will apply if, as a result of the change of legal form, a different type of register is responsible for the legal entity or if a relocation of the legal entity’s seat connected to the change of legal form means that some other court maintaining the register has jurisdiction. In the case set out in sentence 2, an application for entry in the register of the transformation is to be filed also with the register in which the legal entity changing its legal form is entered. This entry is to include the note that the transformation will take effect only upon the legal entity in its new legal form having been entered in the register responsible for the new legal form, unless the entries are made on the same day in the registers of all legal entities involved. The legal entity in its new legal form may be entered in the register only after the transformation has been entered pursuant to sentences 3 and 4.
(3) Section 16 (2) and (3) is to be applied accordingly.
