The following items while not part of the condominium review provided for under

§ 703.275(2)
Allocated interests meaning the undivided percentage interest in the
common elements, the liability for common expenses, and the number of votes at
meetings of the association appurtenant to each unit given.
_____
The merger or consolidation agreement provides for the reallocation of the allocated
interests among the units of the resultant condominium. The agreement does not change
the ratio that exists before the merger or consolidation between the allocated interests of
any unit and the allocated interests of any other unit in the same preexisting
condominium. The agreement shall state one of the following:
1. The reallocations or the formulas upon which they are based.
_____
2. The percentage of the total of allocated interests of the new condominium which are
allocated to all of the units comprising each of the preexisting condominiums. _____
§ 703.275(3)
Agreement; other provisions. The merger or consolidation agreement may contain
any provisions consistent with this chapter in addition to those specified
§ 703.275(2)
_____
§ 703.275(4)
The merger or consolidation agreement is approved by the unit owners of units to
which at least 75% of the votes in each preexisting association are allocated or a
greater percentage if required in the declaration of preexisting association. If the
declaration of a preexisting association specifies that a percentage greater than 75%
of the votes in that association is required to approve a merger or consolidation
agreement, the greater percentage applies to the vote of that association. A
declaration of a preexisting association may specify a smaller percentage and the
smaller percentage applies to the vote of that association only if all of the units in the
preexisting condominium are restricted exclusively to nonresidential uses.
