of amendment setting forth the amendment, the date and manner of adoption thereof, and the
number of votes cast for and against the amendment by members of each class or series, and
containing such recitals as may be required by R.S. 12:240, shall be executed in the
corporation's name by an officer of the corporation. The articles of amendment shall be
acknowledged by the officer who signed them, or may instead be in the form of an authentic

of state may prescribe and furnish forms for filing the amendment. Articles of amendment
may be delivered to the secretary of state for filing, as of any specified date, and, if specified
upon such delivery, as of any given time on such date, within thirty days after the date of
delivery. When all fees and charges have been paid as required by law, the secretary of state
shall record the articles of amendment in his office, and endorse thereon the date and, if
requested, the hour of the filing thereof with him. Thereupon, the amendment shall be
effective as of the date and, if endorsed on the articles of amendment, the hour of filing with
the secretary of state, except that, if the articles of amendment were so filed within five days,
exclusive of legal holidays, after acknowledgment thereof or execution thereof as an
authentic act, the amendment shall be effective as of the time of such acknowledgment or
execution.
C. A multiple original of the articles of amendment, or a copy certified by the
Secretary of State, shall thereafter be filed for record in the office of the recorder of
