(1) The resolution on change of legal form requires a majority of at least three quarters of the votes cast at the meeting of shareholders of a limited liability company, or at least three quarters of the capital stock of a stock corporation or of a public partly limited partnership that is represented at the time the resolution is adopted; section 65 (2) is to be applied accordingly. The articles of association or the by-laws of the company changing its legal form may stipulate a greater majority ratio and may impose further requirements; in the case of a public partly limited partnership changing its legal form to that of a stock corporation, they may also stipulate a majority with a lower ratio.
(2) All those shareholders or stockholders must consent to a change of legal form by a limited liability company, or a stock corporation, to that of a public partly limited partnership who are to have the position of a general partner in the company in its new legal form. Section 221 is to be applied accordingly to the accession of general partners.
(3) Furthermore, the general partners of a public partly limited partnership must consent to its changing its legal form. The by-laws of the company changing its legal form may stipulate that this resolution requires a decision to be taken by the majority of these shareholders.
