Unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise, a corporation's board of directors may adopt one or more amendments to the corporation's articles of incorporation without shareholder action to either:
- 1. Extend the duration of the corporation if it was incorporated at a time when limited duration was required by law.
- 2. Delete the names and addresses of the initial directors.
- 3. Delete the name and address of the initial statutory agent or known place of business, if a statement of change is on file with the commission.
- 4. Change each issued and unissued authorized share of an outstanding class into a greater number of whole shares if the corporation has only shares of that class outstanding, with all shares of the class being treated identically.
- 5. Change the corporate name by substituting the word "corporation", "incorporated", "company" or "limited" or the abbreviation "corp.", "inc.", "co." or "ltd." for a similar word or abbreviation in the name or by adding, deleting or changing a geographical attribution for the name.
- 6. Make any other change expressly permitted by chapters 1 through 17 of this title to be made without shareholder action.
