CA Corp Code § 3002 (2016) What's This?

3002. (a) A social purpose corporation may, by amendment of its articles pursuant to this section, change its status to that of a business corporation.

(b) The amendment of the articles to change status to a business corporation shall revise the statement of purpose to delete any provisions in the articles that are permitted by Section 2602, but that are not permitted to be in the articles of a domestic corporation.

(c) If shares have been issued, an amendment to change status to a business corporation shall be approved by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of each class, or a greater vote if required in the articles, regardless of whether that class is entitled to vote thereon by the provisions of the articles. If the status change is approved, shareholders with dissenting shares, as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 1300, may exercise dissenters rights pursuant to Section 3305 and Chapter 13 (commencing with Section 1300) of Division 1.

(d) If an amendment pursuant to this section is included in a merger agreement, the provisions of this section shall apply, except that any provision for cancellation or conversion of shares shall be in the merger agreement rather than in the amendment of the articles.

(Amended by Stats. 2014, Ch. 694, Sec. 49. Effective January 1, 2015.)
