Notwithstanding Division B of Article 3 of Chapter 1:

(a) A corporation's certificate of incorporation may be amended without action by the board of directors or stockholders to carry out a plan of reorganization ordered or decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction under the authority of a law of the United States if the certificate of incorporation after the amendment only contains provisions required or permitted by Section 10A-2A-2.02.

(1) the name of the corporation;

(2) the text of each amendment approved by the court;

(3) the date of the court's order or decree approving the certificate of amendment;

(4) the title of the reorganization proceeding in which the order or decree was entered; and

(c) Stockholders of a corporation undergoing reorganization do not have dissenters' rights except as and to the extent provided in the reorganization plan.

(d) This section does not apply after entry of a final decree in the reorganization proceeding even though the court retains jurisdiction of the proceeding for limited purposes unrelated to consummation of the reorganization plan.
