The principal place of business must not be changed except through an amendment to its articles of incorporation. (b) The principal place of business must be in charge of an agent of the corporation and must be the place where it keeps its corporate books of account, a record of its proceedings, and its stock and transfer books, and hold its stockholders meetings. (c) If a corporation organized under the laws of American Samoa does not have its principal place of business in charge of an agent, or if the agent is not found in American Samoa, service of process may be made upon the corporation through the Treasurer by sending the original and 2 copies to him. He shall immediately upon its receipt acknowledge service thereon in behalf of the defendant corporation by writing thereon, giving the date thereof, and shall immediately return such notice or process to the clerk of the court in which the suit is pending as well as send a copy thereof by registered mail to the corporation at the address of its principal place of business.
