      17-7206.   Voluntary termination of status as close corporation; amendment of articles of incorporation; vote required. (a) A corporation may voluntarily terminate its status as a close corporation and cease to be subject to the provisions of this act relating thereto by amending its articles of incorporation to delete therefrom the additional provisions required or permitted by K.S.A. 17-7202 to be stated in the articles of incorporation of a close corporation. Any such amendment shall be adopted and shall become effective in accordance with K.S.A. 17-6602, except that it must be approved by vote of the holders of record of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the shares of each class of stock of the corporation which are outstanding.

      (b)   The articles of incorporation of a close corporation may provide that on any amendment to terminate its status as a close corporation, a vote greater than two-thirds (2/3) or a vote of all shares of any class shall be required; and if the articles of incorporation contain such a provision, that provision shall not be amended, repealed or modified by any vote less than that required to terminate the corporation's status as a close corporation.
