Corporate Law Deleting Prior Actions

[Guest]

I have been reading the Code of Alabama as it pertains to a nonprofit corporation amending and/or restating its Articles of Incorporation. I've noticed several references to amending, restating or deleting previously filed actions. I'm confused as to what the term, "delete," means within that context. I know that if an amendment is properly adopted and filed that the newly filed document supersedes the previously filed document. What is the effect of filing an amendment and including a statement that a specific previous amendment is "deleted?" How does that differ from merely being superseded by the new document? Is the previously filed amendment that was deleted physically destroyed?

You might want to talk to an attorney unless someone comes along here who can help you.
