INSTRUCTIONS

 

         1.  An amendment may be effected in either of two ways. The first method is by vote of shareholders, at a shareholders' meeting. The second method is by written consent of the shareholders, without a meeting.

 

         2.  If the amendment is effected by written consent, use item 1 and strike item 2.

 

         3.  If the amendment is effected by vote of shareholders, use item 2 and strike item 1.

 

         4.  Section 180.25 Wis. Stats. covers the vote necessary to adopt an amendment. For corporations organized on or after January 1, 1973, the statutory minimum is a majority of the shares entitled to vote on the matter. For corporations previously organized the statutory minimum is 2/3 of the shares entitled to vote unless the Articles provide for the majority vote. (If class voting is applicable the same minimum requirements must be met for each class as well as for the total shares entitled to vote.)

 

         5.  When the amendment is effected by written consent, ALL shareholders entitled to vote on the subject matter must sign the consent. See section 180.52 to determine what classes or series are entitled to vote on the subject matter.

 

         6.  The space at item 3 is for use in complying with subsecs. (6) and (7) of Sec. 180.53 of the statutes, reading:

 

         (  )  If such amendment provides for an exchange, reclassification or cancellation of issued shares, and if the manner in which the same shall be effected is not set forth in the amendment, then a statement of the manner in which the same shall be effected;

         (  )  If such amendment effects a change in the amount of stated capital, then a statement of the manner in which the same is effected and a statement, expressed in dollars, of the amount of stated capital as changed by such amendment.

 

         7.  Execute and submit in duplicate original. Furnish Secretary of State with two identical copies of the document. One copy will be retained (filed) by Secretary of State and the other copy returned as you indicate in the space above. The copy that is returned must be recorded with the Register of Deeds of the county in which the registered office of the corporation is located.

 

         8.  Affix corporate seal. Make sure that each of the copies of the document has an impression of the corporate seal. If the corporation does not have a seal, write or type "NO SEAL" on each of the copies.

 

         9.  Have the President and Secretary of the corporation sign. A Vice-President may sign in lieu of the President, and an Assistant Secretary may sign in lieu of the Secretary. Make sure that each of the copies has original signatures — carbon copy, xerox, or rubber stamp signatures are not acceptable.

 

         10.  FEES.  The fee for filing amendment is $25, or more, to be submitted with the document. Make check or money order payable to SECRETARY OF STATE. Your cancelled check is your receipt. If the amendment relates to shares, ADDITIONAL FEE may be due. The basic rate on shares is $1.25 per $1,000 on shares having par value, and/or 2½ cents per share, on shares of no par value. Compute the fee at such rates on the aggregate number of authorized shares AFTER giving effect to the amendment. Deduct thereform the fee applicable to the authorized shares BEFORE amendment. The remainder, if any, is the additional fee due.

 

         11.  Section 14.38(14) Wisconsin Statutes provides that this document shall not be recorded unless the name of the person (individual) who, or the governmental agency which, drafted it is printed, typewritten, stamped or written thereon in a legible manner. The statement printed on this document, if completed, complies with this provision. This must be completed on each of the duplicate originals.
