In the case of amendments adopted after the corporation has issued any shares, the corporation shall file a certificate of amendment, which shall consist of an officers’ certificate stating:

(a) The wording of the amendment or amended articles in accordance with Section 907;

(b) That the amendment has been approved by the board;

(d) If the amendment is one which may be adopted with approval by the board alone, a statement of the facts entitling the board alone to adopt the amendment.
