Official statutory text
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 18. Corporations Page 410
RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
A. A corporation, whenever desired, may integrate into a single
instrument all of the provisions of its certificate of incorporation
which are then in effect and operative as a result of there having
up to that time been filed with the Secretary of State one or more
certificates or other instruments pursuant to any of the sections
referred to in Section 1008 of this title, and it may at the same
time also further amend its certificate of incorporation by adopting
a restated certificate of incorporation.
B. If the restated certificate of incorporation merely restates
and integrates but does not further amend the certificate of
incorporation, as up to that time amended or supplemented by any
instrument that was filed pursuant to any of the sections mentioned
in Section 1008 of this title, it may be adopted by the board of
directors without a vote of the shareholders, or it may be proposed
by the directors and submitted by them to the shareholders for
adoption, in which case the procedure and vote required, if any, by
Section 1077 of this title for amendment of the certificate of
incorporation shall be applicable. If the restated certificate of
incorporation restates and integrates and also further amends in any
respect the certificate of incorporation, as up to that time amended
or supplemented, it shall be proposed by the directors and adopted
by the shareholders in the manner and by the vote prescribed by
Section 1077 of this title or, if the corporation has not received
any payment for any of its stock, in the manner and by the vote
prescribed by Section 1076 of this title.
C. A restated certificate of incorporation shall be
specifically designated as such in its heading. It shall state,
either in its heading or in an introductory paragraph, the
corporation's present name, and, if it has been changed, the name
under which it was originally incorporated, and the date of filing
of its original certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of
State. If it was adopted by the board of directors without a vote
of the shareholders, unless it was adopted pursuant to the
provisions of Section 1076 of this title or without a vote of
members pursuant to paragraph 3 of subsection B of Section 1077 of
this title, it shall state that it only restates and integrates and
does not further amend the provisions of the corporation's
certificate of incorporation as up to that time amended or
supplemented, and that there is no discrepancy between those
provisions and the provisions of the restated certificate. A
restated certificate of incorporation may omit:
1. Such provisions of the original certificate of incorporation
which named the incorporator or incorporators, the initial board of
directors, and the original subscribers for shares; and
2. Such provisions contained in any amendment to the
certificate of incorporation as were necessary to effect a change,
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 18. Corporations Page 411
exchange, reclassification, subdivision, combination or cancellation
of stock, if such change, exchange, reclassification, subdivision,
combination or cancellation has become effective.
Any such omissions shall not be deemed a further amendment.
D. A restated certificate of incorporation shall be executed,
acknowledged and filed in accordance with the provisions of Section
1007 of this title. Upon its filing with the Secretary of State,
the original certificate of incorporation, as up to that time
amended or supplemented, shall be superseded. From that time
forward, the restated certificate of incorporation, including any
further amendments or changes made thereby, shall be the certificate
of incorporation of the corporation, but the original date of
incorporation shall remain unchanged.
E. Any amendment or change effected in connection with the
te of incorporation, as up to that time
amended or supplemented, shall be superseded. From that time
forward, the restated certificate of incorporation, including any
further amendments or changes made thereby, shall be the certificate
of incorporation of the corporation, but the original date of
incorporation shall remain unchanged.
E. Any amendment or change effected in connection with the
restatement and integration of the certificate of incorporation
shall be subject to any other provision of the Oklahoma General
Corporation Act, not inconsistent with the provisions of this
section, which would apply if a separate certificate of amendment
were filed to effect such amendment or change.
