   1. (1) The name of the corporation; (2) if the current registered office is to be changed, the street address of its current registered office and the street address of the new registered office; and (3) if the current registered agent is to be changed, the name of its current registered agent and the name of the new registered agent and the new agent's written consent, either on the statement or attached to it, to the appointment.
2. (b) If the street address of a registered agent's business office changes, he may change the street address of the registered office of any corporation for which he is the registered agent by delivering a signed written notice of the change to the corporation and delivering to the Secretary of the State for filing a signed statement that complies with the requirements of subsection (a) of this section and recites that the corporation has been notified of the change.

(P.A. 94-186, S. 36, 215; P.A. 96-271, S. 29, 254; P.A. 97-246, S. 8, 99; P.A. 11-147, S. 12.)

History: P.A. 94-186 effective January 1, 1997; P.A. 96-271 deleted Subsec. (a)(6) requiring the statement to set forth that after the change or changes are made the street addresses of its registered office and the business office of its registered agent will be identical, effective January 1, 1997; P.A. 97-246 amended Subsec. (a) to combine former Subdivs. (2) and (3) into Subdiv. (2), thereby providing that the statement must set forth the street address of the current registered office only if the current registered office is to be changed and combined former Subdivs. (4) and (5) into new Subdiv. (3), thereby providing that the statement must set forth the name of the current registered agent only if the current registered agent is to be changed, effective June 27, 1997; P.A. 11-147 amended Subsec. (b) to rephrase provision re change of street address of registered agent's business office and provide that agent may change address “by delivering a signed written notice of the change to the corporation and delivering to the Secretary of the State for filing a signed statement”, rather than “by notifying the corporation in writing of the change and signing, either manually or in facsimile, and delivering to the Secretary of the State for filing a statement”.
