The person filing materials under this section shall, unless said person shall theretofore have filed a disclosure statement under this or any other section of this act [Sections 75-72-101 through 75-72-121], file with said materials a disclosure statement, and consent by said person to service of process and the filing fee specified in Section 75-72-117.

If there is any material change in any of the information set forth in any disclosure statement or exhibit filed under this section, the person who filed said disclosure statement shall promptly file an amendment of the disclosure statement or exhibit with the secretary of state and, not later than the date of said filing of that amendment, hand deliver a copy of the amendment to the subject company and the bidder. 

(2)  The materials described in subsection (1) of this section shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
