(1) A corporation's articles of incorporation may be amended without action by the board of directors or shareholders to carry out a plan or reorganization ordered or decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction under a statute of the United States if the articles of incorporation after amendment contain only provisions required or permitted by Section 16-10a-202.

(a) the name of the corporation;

(b) the text of each amendment approved by the court;

(c) the date of the court's order or decree approving the articles of amendment;

(d) the title of the reorganization proceeding in which the order or decree was entered; and

(e) a statement that the court had jurisdiction of the proceeding under a specified statute of the United States.

(3) Shareholders of a corporation undergoing reorganization do not have dissenters' rights except as and to the extent provided in the reorganization plan.

(4) This section does not apply after entry of a final decree in the reorganization proceeding even though the court retains jurisdiction of the proceeding for limited purposes unrelated to consummation of the reorganization plan.
