Annually on or before June 30, a foreign corporation doing business in this State shall file a report with the Secretary of State. The report shall be made on a form designated by the Secretary of State and shall be signed by the corporation's president, secretary, treasurer or other proper officer duly authorized so to act, or by any of its directors, or if filing an initial report by any incorporator in the event its board of directors shall not have been elected. The fact that an individual's name is signed on a certification attached to a corporate report shall be prima facie evidence that such individual is authorized to certify the report on behalf of the corporation; however the official title or position of the individual signing the corporate report shall be designated. The report shall contain the following information:
(1) The location of its registered office in this State, which shall include the street, number, city and postal code;
(2) The name of the agent upon whom service of process against the corporation may be served;
(3) The location of the principal place of business of the corporation, which shall include the street, number, city, state or foreign country; and
(4) The names and addresses of all the directors as of the filing date of the report and the name and address of the officer who signs the report.
If any officer or director of a foreign corporation required to file an annual report with the Secretary of State shall knowingly make any false statement in the report, such officer or director shall be guilty of perjury.
