By complying with the provision of this section, a parent corporation owning at least 90% of the outstanding shares of each class of a subsidiary corporation may either merge the subsidiary into itself or merge itself into the subsidiary.
(2)
The board of directors of the parent shall adopt and its shareholders, if required by Subsection (3), shall approve a plan of merger that sets forth:
(a)
the names of the parent and subsidiary and the name of the surviving entity;
(b)
the terms and conditions of the merger;
(c)
the manner and basis of converting the shares of each corporation into shares, obligations, or other securities of the surviving or any other corporation or into money or other property in whole or part;
(d)
any amendments to the articles of incorporation of the surviving corporation to be effected by the merger; and
(e)
any other provisions relating to the merger as may be determined to be necessary or desirable.
