(e) A corporation restating its articles of incorporation shall deliver to the Secretary of State for filing articles of restatement setting forth the name of the corporation and the text of the restated articles of incorporation, including or accompanied by a certificate setting forth the following information:

(1) Whether the restatement contains an amendment to the articles requiring approval by the members or any other person other than the board of directors and, if it does not, that the board of directors adopted the restatement; or

(2) If the restatement contains an amendment to the articles requiring approval by the members, the information required by Code Section 14-3-1005; and
