Missouri Revised Statutes Title XXIII. Corporations, Associations and Partnerships § 357.030. Amendments to articles--change in number of authorized shares--fees

Any such association may amend its articles of incorporation by a majority vote of its shareholders at any regular shareholders' meeting or at any special shareholders' meeting called for that purpose on sixty days' written notice by mail to all shareholders. Said power to amend shall include the power to increase or diminish the amount of capital stock and the number of shares, but the amount of capital stock shall not be so diminished below the amount of paid-up capital at the time the amendment is adopted. Within thirty days after the adoption of an amendment to its articles of incorporation, such association shall cause a copy of such amendment to be recorded in the office of the recorder of deeds of the county or city wherein its principal place of business is located, and a certified copy thereof in the office of the secretary of state. The fee of the secretary of state for filing an article of amendment shall be one dollar, and no increase in the authorized shares of the corporation shall be valid or effectual unless the corporation has paid the director of revenue five dollars for each ten thousand dollars or less of the increase in the authorized shares of the corporation, and the corporation shall file a duplicate receipt issued by the director of revenue for the payments required by this section to be made with the secretary of state.
