An amendment to the articles of incorporation does not affect a cause of action existing against or in favor of the corporation, a proceeding to which the corporation is a party, or the existing rights of persons other than shareholders of the corporation. An amendment changing a corporation's name does not abate a proceeding brought by or against the corporation in its former name.Laws, 1987, ch. 486, § 10.09; Laws, 2000, ch. 469, § 11, eff. 7/1/2000.
