Dana Sample files Articles of Amendment for a Tennessee limited liability company. The company changes its principal address, and the board adopted the amendment on 03/14/2026 without member approval. The picture shows the form, and none of its entries is real. The amendment is effective when filed, so the block with a later date stays empty. The company keeps its name, so the line for a new name stays empty. The registered agent and the registered address do not change, so the lines under B. REGISTERED AGENT and C. REGISTERED ADDRESS stay empty. The board of governors adopted the amendment, so nothing goes in MEMBERS because member approval was not asked.
