Further, the articles of incorporation of the surviving Wisconsin corporation are being amended and restated to increase its authorized shares from 100,000 to 1,000,000.

The fee for filing articles of merger under Chapters 179, 180, 181 and 183 is a flat $150.00, no matter how many domestic and foreign entities are involved in the merger. Because Chapter 180 filing fees are no longer computed on the basis of authorized shares, no additional fee would be due as a result of an increase in the number of authorized shares of the surviving Wisconsin corporation. A Pennsylvania corporation is merging into a Louisiana corporation.
