(5) If the domesticated entity is a domestic filing entity, its public organic record as an attachment. The public organic record does not need to state the name or address of an incorporator of a corporation, organizer of a limited liability company or similar person with respect to any other type of entity.

(d) Public organic record of new domestic entity.--If the domesticated entity is a domestic entity, its public organic record, if any, must satisfy the requirements of the laws of this Commonwealth, except that it does not need to be signed and may omit any provision that is not required to be included in a restatement of the public organic record.
(e) Filing of plan.--A plan of domestication that is signed by a domesticating entity that is a domestic entity and meets all of the requirements of subsection (b) may be delivered to the department for filing instead of a statement of domestication and on filing has the same effect. If a plan of domestication is filed as provided in this subsection, references in this chapter to a statement of domestication refer to the plan of domestication filed under this subsection.
