(b) A foreign corporation or eligible entity may be a party to a share exchange only if the share exchange is permitted by the law under which the corporation or other entity is organized or by which it is governed. If the organic law of a domestic other entity does not provide procedures for the approval of a share exchange, a plan of share exchange may be adopted and approved, the share exchange effectuated, and dissenters' rights exercised in accordance with the procedures, if any, for a merger. If the organic law of a domestic other entity does not provide procedures for the approval of either a share exchange or a merger, a plan of share exchange may be adopted and approved, the share exchange effectuated, and dissenters' rights exercised, in accordance with the procedures in this chapter and chapter 23 of this title. For the purposes of applying this chapter and chapter 23 of this title: (1) The other entity, its interest holders, interests, and organic documents taken together shall be deemed to be a domestic business corporation, shareholders, shares, and charter, respectively and vice versa, as the context may require; and (2) If the business and affairs of the other entity are managed by a group of persons that is not identical to the interest holders, that group shall be deemed to be the board of directors. (c) The plan of share exchange must set forth: (1) The name of each corporation or other entity whose shares or interests will be acquired and the name of the acquiring corporation or other entity; (2) The terms and conditions of the share exchange; (3) The manner and basis of exchanging shares of each corporation or interests in an other entity who shares or interests will be acquired under the share exchange into shares, other securities, interests, obligations, rights to acquire shares, other securities or interests, cash, other property, or any combination of the foregoing; and (4) Any other provisions required by the laws under which any party to the share exchange is organized or by the charter or organic document of any such party. (d) The plan of share exchange may set forth other provisions relating to the share exchange. (e) This section does not limit the power of a domestic corporation to acquire all or part of the shares of one (1) or more classes or series of another corporation or interests of another entity through a voluntary exchange or otherwise.
