BUSINESS MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS ACT Article 35

In carrying on a division by a company, the Board of Directors shall draft a division plan and submit it to the general meeting.A resolution for division shall be adopted by a majority vote at the general meeting attended by shareholders representing two-thirds or more of the total number of the issued shares of the company.For a company that has its share certificates publicly issued, if the total number of shares represented by shareholders present at the general meeting is short of the quorum under the preceding paragraph, the resolution may be adopted by two-thirds or more of the votes of the shareholders present at the general meeting who represent a majority of the total number of issued shares.In case a listed or OTC company carried on a division and the trading of the shares then traded on the stock exchange or OTC market shall be terminated while the surviving or newly incorporated transferee company after the division is not a listed or OTC company, the resolution of the general meeting under the preceding two paragraphs shall be adopted by two-thirds or more of the votes of the shareholders who represent the total number of issued shares of the listed or OTC company.In the preceding three Paragraphs where higher criteria for the total number of shares represented by the shareholders present at the general meeting and the total number of votes required to adopt a resolution thereat are specified in the Articles of Incorporation, such higher criteria shall prevail.Upon the resolution of the division, a company shall immediately notify or make a public notice to each creditor of such a division and specify a period of not less than thirty days to allow objection filed by the creditors. A company, that has not given notice or made public announcement in the manner referred to in the preceding paragraph, or fails to satisfy a creditor who has raised an objection to the division, to furnish an appropriate security, to create any trust exclusively for creditors' satisfaction, or to certify that such a division is without prejudice to the rights of creditors, shall not assert the division as a defense against such a creditor.The surviving or newly incorporated transferee company, unless the liabilities existing before the division may be severed, shall, within the scope of contributions made by the transferee company, be jointly and severally liable to discharge the liability incurred by the divided company prior to the division. However, the creditors' right to claim for the performance of the joint and several liabilities shall become extinguished, if not exercised by the creditors within two years from the reference date of the division.If the transferee company is a newly incorporated company, the general meeting of the company divided shall be deemed as the meeting of promoters of the transferee company; it may draw up the Articles of Incorporation and elect directors and supervisors of the newly incorporated company in the same meeting without being subject to Articles 128, 129 through 139 and 141 through 155 of the Company Act. Article 24 of the Company Act shall apply mutatis mutandis to any company dissolved as a result of a division.Where a listed or OTC company is divided, the surviving or the newly incorporated transferee company, after the division found compliant with requirements of the division and the relevant listing or OTC rules, may continue or start to offer its shares on the stock exchange or OTC market upon completing the procedures specified for such a division and procedures of the stock exchange or OTC market, while the divided company with shares traded on the stock exchange or OTC market before the division may continue the trading of the shares as such.In case of a division by a company limited by shares, the surviving company or the newly incorporated company shall be only in the form of a company limited by shares. Article 25 of this Act is applicable mutatis mutandis to the registration for transfer and alteration of rights and obligations pertaining to the assets of the divided company acquired after the division by the surviving or newly incorporated transferee company. Article 18 (6) of this Act shall apply mutatis mutandis to the procedure of the division.
