CODE OF VIRGINIA

EFFECT OF AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION (§ 13.1-713)

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.
