Applicable provisions

The provisions of Division 3 are to be applied accordingly to mergers involving public partly limited partnerships. The public partly limited partnership and the general partners authorised to represent it take the stead of the stock corporation and its management board. The merger resolution requires the consent also of the general partners; the by-laws of the public partly limited partnership may stipulate that the decision must be taken by the majority of these shareholders. In their relationship to each other, stock corporations and public partly limited partnerships are not deemed legal entities having a different legal form in the sense of sections 29 and 34.
