N.M. Stat. § 53-13-2
Procedure to amend articles of incorporation.
Amendments to the articles of incorporation shall be made in the following manner:
A. if shares have been issued, the board of directors shall adopt a resolution setting
forth the proposed amendment and directing that it be submitted to a vote at a meeting
of shareholders, which may be either the annual or a special meeting. If no shares have
been issued, the amendment shall be adopted by resolution of the board of directors,
and the provisions for adoption by shareholders shall not apply. If the corporation has
only one class of shares outstanding, an amendment solely to change the number of
authorized shares to effectuate a split of, or stock dividend in, the corporation's own
shares, or solely to do so and to change the number of authorized shares in proportion
thereto, may be adopted by the board of directors; and the provisions for adoption by
shareholders shall not apply, unless otherwise provided by the articles of incorporation.
The resolution may incorporate the proposed amendment in restated articles of
incorporation which contain a statement that, except for the designated amendment, the
restated articles of incorporation correctly set forth without change the corresponding
provisions of the articles of incorporation as theretofore amended and that the restated
articles of incorporation together with the designated amendment supersede the original
articles of incorporation and all amendments thereto;
B. written notice setting forth the proposed amendment or a summary of the
changes to be effected thereby shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to
vote thereon within the time and in the manner provided in the Business Corporation Act
for the giving of notice of meetings of shareholders. If the meeting is an annual meeting,
the proposed amendment or the summary may be included in the notice of the annual
meeting; and
C. at the meeting, a vote of the shareholders entitled to vote thereon shall be taken
on the proposed amendment. The proposed amendment shall be adopted upon
receiving the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote
thereon, unless any class of shares is entitled to vote thereon as a class, in which event
the proposed amendment shall be adopted upon receiving the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the shares of each class of shares entitled to vote thereon as a
class and of the total shares entitled to vote thereon. Any number of amendments may
be submitted to the shareholders and voted upon by them at one meeting.
