FAQ
After a company gains the consent of its current shareholders, it can create infinite classes of shares. These classes of shares are typically alphabetised and often contain varied rights to suit a specific company structure.
How to reclassify shares Make sure the articles of association allow share redesignations. Propose an ordinary resolution to redesignate shares. Submit an SH08 form. Update the register of members. Issue new share certificates. Reflect the changes in the next confirmation statement.
Issuing new shares typically requires approval from the company's shareholders. This may involve holding a vote at a shareholder meeting or obtaining written consent from a majority of shareholders. The approval process will depend on the company's bylaws and state laws governing the issuance of new shares.
When creating a new share class, the two documents you will need are: Board Resolution: this provides the Board minutes asking the shareholders for permission to create the new share class. Shareholders Resolution: this provides the shareholder approval.
How do I set up different classes? This can be done one of two ways, (1) by issuing new shares with a di erent name and di erent rights to those already in issue or (2) by converting shares already in existence, redesignating them under a new class and varying their rights ing to your requirements.

In many states, you can choose whether to amend your articles or submit a different form for certain changes. For small changes, like a new principal office, it can often be cheaper to file other forms and avoid amending or restating.
Maryland LLCs that want to file amendments have to file a completed Articles of Amendment form with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation. You can do this by mail, fax, or in person. You can use the fillable form or draft your own. However, the state only accepts typed documents.
Updating Articles of Incorporation of a corporation Check your Articles of Incorporation and corporate bylaws. Propose the change to the Board of Directors. Adopt a resolution. Send written notice of the meeting to every voting shareholder. Hold a vote. Complete the Articles of Amendment form with the final changes.
You can do this online through Maryland Business Express or by downloading the “Articles of Amendment for a Maryland Corporation” form and filing by mail (or in person) with the Department of Assessments and Taxation. With either method, you'll need to input all the information you gathered during Step 2.
