(a) Unless otherwise provided in a plan of for-profit conversion of a domestic nonprofit corporation, after the plan has been adopted and approved as required by this section, and at any time before the for-profit conversion has become effective, it may be abandoned by the board of directors without action by the members.

(b) If a for-profit conversion is abandoned under subsection (a) after articles of for-profit conversion or articles of charter surrender have been filed with the secretary of state but before the for-profit conversion has become effective, a statement that the for-profit conversion has been abandoned in accordance with this section, executed by an officer or other duly authorized representative, shall be delivered to the secretary of state for filing, together with the required filing fee, prior to the effective date of the for-profit conversion. The statement shall take effect upon filing, and the for-profit conversion shall be deemed abandoned and shall not become effective.
