AN ACT TO AMEND CHAPTER 18, TITLE 6 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE CREATION, REGULATION, OPERATION AND DISSOLUTION OF DOMESTIC LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES AND THE REGISTRATION AND REGULATION OF FOREIGN LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES.
This bill continues the practice of amending periodically the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the "Act") to keep it current and to maintain its national preeminence. The following is a section-by-section review of the proposed amendments of the Act. Section 1 amends the provisions of the Act relating to mergers to confirm that rights or securities of, or interests in, a constituent party that is the surviving entity in a merger may remain outstanding in connection with the merger. Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 amend the provisions of the Act relating to domestication, transfer, continuance and conversion to confirm that in connection with a domestication, transfer, continuance or conversion, rights or securities of, or interests in, an entity that is domesticating or converting to a limited liability company and rights or securities of, or interests in, a limited liability company that is transferring to or domesticating or continuing in another jurisdiction or converting to a different type of entity or another jurisdiction may remain outstanding in connection with such domestication, transfer, continuance or conversion. Section 6 amends § 18-703(d) of the Act to confirm that a charging order is the sole and exclusive remedy by which a judgment creditor of a member or a member's assignee may satisfy a judgment out of the judgment debtor's limited liability company interest and that attachment, garnishment, foreclosure or other legal or equitable remedies are not available to the judgment creditor, whether the limited liability company has 1 member or more than 1 member. Section 7 amends § 18-1101 of the Act by adding a new subsection (j) that confirms that the provisions of the Act shall apply whether a limited liability company has 1 member or more than 1 member. Section 8amends Section 18-1104 to confirm that in some circumstances fiduciary duties not explicitly provided for in the limited liability company agreement apply. For example, a manager of a manager-managed limited liability company would ordinarily have fiduciary duties even in the absence of a provision in the limited liability company agreement establishing such duties. Section 18-1101(c) continues to provide that such duties may be expanded, restricted or eliminated by the limited liability company agreement. Section 9 provides that the proposed amendments of the Act shall become effective August 1, 2013.
