The statement must include the name of the real estate investment trust, the state or country of organization, the name and principal place of business of each trustee and officer, the address of the registered office and the name of the registered agent, and a statement that the real estate investment trust is still in existence and continues to transact business in this state. If the secretary of state finds that the statement conforms to the requirements of this section, and the proper filing fee has been paid, the secretary of state shall file the statement. If the secretary of state finds that the statement does not conform, the secretary of state promptly shall return the statement to the real estate investment trust for any necessary corrections, and the certificate of registration must be canceled if the statement is not returned corrected within thirty days after the statement was returned for corrections.
