Are there any specifics you can or can’t include with a Missouri Corporation amendment?
The articles of incorporation may be amended however you’d like, as long as the amended articles of incorporation contain only provisions that may be lawfully contained in articles of incorporation (in Missouri) at the time of filing your amendment.
