Persons forming an association under section 3939.01 of the Revised Code shall make and subscribe a certificate setting forth therein: (A) The name by which the association is to be known; (B) The place which is regarded as its center or business office; (C) The object of the association, which shall only be one or more of the objects set

which occur to its members; (D) The kinds of property proposed to be insured and the casualties specified in section 3939.01 of the Revised Code which are proposed to be insured against. Such certificate may be amended to change the name of the association, the place which
is regarded as its center or business office, or its objects, at any meeting of members,
thirty days' notice of which, and of the business to come before it, has been given
by a majority of the directors in a newspaper published and of general circulation
in the county where the company's center or business office is located. Such amendment, if adopted by at least three fifths vote of the members present
and voting at the meeting so called, and if not inconsistent with the constitution
and laws of this state and of the United States, shall be approved by the attorney
general and the secretary of state, and such amendment and the certificate of approval
by the attorney general shall be filed in the office of the secretary of state and
shall thereupon be in effect. After recording such amendment the secretary of state shall deposit a copy thereof
with the superintendent of insurance. In event of a change of name of the association or a change of the place of the center
or business office, the superintendent, immediately upon the approval by him of such
change, shall certify the fact of such change to the secretary of state, who shall
make note thereof on the files of his office relating to such association.
