B. After the amendment has been duly adopted, an authentic act setting forth the amendment and the manner of adoption thereof shall be executed by such person or persons authorized to do so at the meeting. A full copy of the minutes of the meeting at which such amendment was adopted, certified as a true copy by the secretary of the insurer or of the meeting, shall be annexed to the authentic act. The articles of amendment or multiple originals thereof shall be approved and recorded in the same manner as that provided herein for the original articles of incorporation.
