      <sup>art-781/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/en/companies-act/art-781/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/417AC0000000086/art-781/par-1</sup>

      **第二項**  第七百七十九条（第二項第二号を除く。）及び前条の規定は、組織変更をする持分会社について準用する。この場合において、第七百七十九条第三項中「組織変更をする株式会社」とあるのは「組織変更をする持分会社（合同会社に限る。）」と、前条第三項中「及び第七百四十五条」とあるのは「並びに第七百四十七条及び次条第一項」と読み替えるものとする。
