(a) If any foreign corporation (but not a foreign association) qualified to transact intrastate business shall change its name or make a change affecting an assumed name under Section 2106, it shall file, on a form prescribed by the Secretary of State, an amended statement signed by a corporate officer setting forth the change made. The amended statement shall set forth the name relinquished as well as the new name assumed and there shall be annexed to the amended statement a certificate of an authorized public official of its state or place of incorporation that the change of name was made in accordance with the laws of that state or place. Upon the filing of the amended statement, the Secretary of State shall issue a new certificate of qualification.
(b) If any foreign association qualified to transact intrastate business shall change its name, the address of its principal office in this state, the address of its principal executive office or its agent for the service of process, or if the stated address of any natural person designated as agent is changed, it shall file, on a form prescribed by the Secretary of State, an amended statement and designation signed by an officer or, in the case of a foreign association that has no officers, signed by a trustee setting forth the change or changes made. In the case of a change of name, the amended statement and designation shall set forth the name relinquished as well as the new name assumed and there shall be annexed to the amended statement and designation an officer’s certificate, or trustee’s certificate, if applicable, stating that such change of name was made in accordance with its declaration of trust. If the change includes a change of name, or a change affecting an assumed name pursuant to Section 2106, upon the filing of the amended statement, the Secretary of State shall issue a new certificate of qualification.
(c) If the change includes a change of name of an insurer subject to the Insurance Code, the form shall include a statement that the corporation is such an insurer if it does not already so appear.
(d) If a foreign corporation qualified to transact business in this state shall change the address of its principal office in this state, the address of its principal executive office, or its agent for the service of process, or if the stated address of any natural person designated as agent is changed, the filing of a statement pursuant to Section 2117 shall supersede the statement and designation with respect thereto.
