(a) When a domestication takes effect:
(1) The domesticated company shall be for all purposes the company that existed before the domestication;
(2) All property owned by the domesticating company shall remain vested in the domesticated company;
(3) All debts, obligations, or other liabilities of the domesticating company shall continue as debts, obligations, or other liabilities of the domesticated company;
(4) An action or proceeding pending by or against a domesticating company may be continued as if the domestication had not occurred;
(5) Except as prohibited by other law, all of the rights, privileges, immunities, powers, and purposes of the domesticating company shall remain vested in the domesticated company;
(6) Except as otherwise provided in the plan of domestication, the terms and conditions of the plan of domestication shall take effect; and
(7) Except as otherwise agreed, the domestication shall not dissolve a domesticating limited liability company for the purposes of subchapter VII of this chapter.
(b) A domesticated company that is a foreign limited liability company consents to the jurisdiction of the Superior Court to enforce any debt, obligation, or other liability owed by the domesticating company, if, before the domestication, the domesticating company was subject to suit in the District on the debt, obligation, or other liability.
