A membership company conducting any one of the acts below must obtain the consent of all members of the membership company with regard to the absorption-type merger agreement, etc. by the day immediately preceding the effective day; provided, however, that this does not apply if it is otherwise provided for in the articles of incorporation:
absorption-type merger (but only if the membership company disappears in the absorption-type merger); or
absorption-type company split (limited to cases where another company succeeds to all of the rights and obligations held by relevant membership company (limited to a limited liability company) in connection with its business).
The provisions of Article 789 (excluding paragraph (1), item (iii) and paragraph (2), item (iii)) and Article 790 apply mutatis mutandis to a membership company disappearing in an absorption-type merger or a company splitting in an absorption-type split, which is a limited liability company (hereinafter referred to as the "limited liability company splitting in the absorption-type split" in this Section). In these cases, the phrase "creditors of the stock company splitting in the absorption-type split who are unable to request the stock company splitting in the absorption-type split to perform the obligations (including performance of the guarantee obligations that the stock company splitting in the absorption-type split jointly and severally assumes with the company succeeding in the absorption-type split as a guarantor) (or, if there are provisions on the matter set forth in Article 758, item (viii) or Article 760, item (vii), creditors of the stock company splitting in the absorption-type split)" in Article 789, paragraph (1), item (ii) is deemed to be replaced with "creditors of the stock company splitting in the absorption-type split who are unable to request the stock company splitting in the absorption-type split to perform the obligations (including performance of the guarantee obligations that the stock company splitting in the absorption-type split jointly and severally assumes with the company succeeding in the absorption-type split as a guarantor)" and the term "disappearing stock company, etc." in paragraph (3) of that Article is deemed to be replaced with "membership company disappearing in the absorption-type merger (limited to a limited liability company if the company surviving the absorption-type merger is a stock company or a limited liability company) or the limited liability company splitting in the absorption-type split".
第七百八十九条（第一項第三号及び第二項第三号を除く。）及び第七百九十条の規定は、吸収合併消滅持分会社又は合同会社である吸収分割会社（以下この節において「吸収分割合同会社」という。）について準用する。この場合において、第七百八十九条第一項第二号中「債権者（第七百五十八条第八号又は第七百六十条第七号に掲げる事項についての定めがある場合にあっては、吸収分割株式会社の債権者）」とあるのは「債権者」と、同条第三項中「消滅株式会社等」とあるのは「吸収合併消滅持分会社（吸収合併存続会社が株式会社又は合同会社である場合にあっては、合同会社に限る。）又は吸収分割合同会社」と読み替えるものとする。

articles of incorporation
定款
A company's own basic rules, written by its founders when it is formed: at least its purpose, its trade name, where its head office is, the value of the property contributed at incorporation and who the founders are (Companies Act, Article 27). A stock company's must be certified by a notary before it takes effect (Article 30, paragraph (1)), and can later be changed by a resolution of the shareholders meeting (Article 466). Many rules in the Act apply "unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise", so a company's articles decide a great deal of how the Act applies to it.
