ARTICLES OF MERGER
TO
MERGE SIERRA LUMBER MANUFACTURERS
INTO FLORIDA MADE DOOR CO.
SIERRA LUMBER MANUFACTURERS (“Sierra”), a California corporation, and FLORIDA MADE DOOR CO. (“Florida Made”), a Florida corporation, execute the following Articles of Merger pursuant to section 607.1105 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, Chapter 607, Florida Statutes (the “Florida Business Corporation Act”) to effectuate a merger of Sierra with and into Florida Made (the “Merger”):
ARTICLE I
PLAN OF MERGER
The plan of merger of Sierra into Florida Made (the “Plan of Merger”) is as follows:
1.1 Parties to Merger. The parties to the Merger are Sierra and Florida Made (together the “Companies”). Florida Made is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sierra. Frank L. Eger, Jr. and Joseph P. Eger (collectively “Parent”) own all of the issued and outstanding stock of Sierra.
1.2 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan of Merger and in accordance with the Florida Business Corporation Act, Sierra will be merged with and into Florida Made as of the effective time of the merger specified in Article II below (the “Effective Time”). As a result of the Merger, Florida Made will continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”), and the corporate existence of Sierra will cease at the Effective Time. Promptly after these Articles of Merger are fully executed, Florida Made shall deliver these Articles of Merger to the Department of State of Florida (the “Department”) for filing and pay to the Department all fees required for their filing and to effectuate the Merger.
1.3 Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, all the shares of $10.00 par value common stock of Sierra (“Sierra Stock”) that are issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will be converted into a right to an equal number of shares of the $1.00 par value common stock of Florida Made (“Florida Made Stock”), without any further action by the holders of Sierra Stock, except for surrender to Florida Made of the certificate or certificates evidencing those shares. As a result of the Merger, the record holders of Sierra Stock at the Effective Time will each become the owner of 347 shares of newly-issued Florida Made Stock. The issued and outstanding Florida Made Stock before the Merger will be cancelled as a result of the Merger.
1.4 Exchange of Certificates. After the Effective Time, Florida Made shall issue to Parent, as the sole record holders of Sierra Stock at the Effective Time, a certificate evidencing the shares of Florida Made Stock into which the Sierra Stock was converted as a result of the Merger, upon surrender of, and in exchange and substitution for, each certificate evidencing shares of Sierra Stock registered in the name of Parent (a “Sierra Certificate”), duly indorsed in blank by Parent. Delivery to Florida Made of shares of Sierra Stock will occur, and risk of loss and title to those shares will pass to Florida Made, when Florida Made receives a Sierra
certificate evidencing the shares. A Sierra Certificate that has not been surrendered to Florida Made after the Effective Time in the manner specified above will not be transferable on the stock record books of Florida Made, and will be treated for all corporate purposes, except payment of dividends and other distributions, as evidencing the ownership of the number of whole shares of Florida Made Stock into which the shares of Sierra Stock evidenced by the certificate have been converted as a result of the Merger. The holder of a Sierra Certificate will not be entitled to receive any dividends or distributions in respect of the shares of Florida Made Stock into which the shares of Sierra Stock evidenced by the certificate are converted as a result of the Merger until the Sierra Certificate is surrendered to Florida Made in the manner specified above. If a dividend or other distribution is paid by Florida made in respect of the Florida Made Stock after the Effective Time but before a Sierra Certificate is surrendered to Florida Made, the dividend or distribution payable in respect of the shares of Florida Made Stock into which the shares of Sierra Stock evidenced by the unsurrendered certificate have been converted as a result of the Merger will accrue and be paid to the holder of the Sierra Certificate promptly after it is surrendered to Florida Made in the manner specified above.
1.5 Effects of Merger. The Merger will have the legal effects prescribed by section 607.1106 and section 607.1107 of the Florida Business Corporation Act. For federal income tax purposes, the Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization pursuant to section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
1.6 Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation. The Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation of Florida Made in effect at the Effective Time will be the Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until they are amended in accordance with their terms and the Florida Business Corporation Act.
1.7 Directors and officers. The directors and officers of Florida Made in office at the Effective Time will continue to be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation following the Merger, until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified in accordance with the Florida Business Corporation Act and Florida Made’s Bylaws and Articles of incorporation or until their earlier death, resignation, or removal from office.
1.8 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Effective Time, at the request of Florida Made or any assignee or successor of it, the officers and directors of Sierra last in office shall execute and deliver to Florida Made any new, additional, or confirmatory deed, agreement, instrument, or other document, and take or cause to be taken all further action, as is necessary or appropriate to vest, record, confirm, perfect, or otherwise establish Florida Made’s right, title, and interest in and to all rights, powers, property, franchises, immunities, and privileges of Sierra or to otherwise carry into effect the intent and purposes of this Plan of Merger.
1.9 Amendment or Abandonment. A waiver, amendment, modification, or termination of this Plan of Merger or any provision of it will be valid and effective only if approved by the Board of Directors of Sierra. Parent may direct Sierra and Florida Made to abandon and terminate this Plan of Merger at any time before the Effective Time.
ARTICLE II
EFFECTIVE DATE OF MERGER
The Merger will become effective (the “Effective Time”) as of March 31, 1996.
ARTICLE III
SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL OF MERGER AND PLAN OF MERGER
