Code of Virginia - Title 13.1 Corporations - Section 13.1-713 Effect of amendment of articles of incorporation

§ 13.1-713. Effect of amendment of articles of incorporation

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.
