If an information is filed without a preliminary examination, or an indictment is returned against a corporation or limited liability company, the clerk of the district court shall issue a summons in the corporate name of the corporation or limited liability company in the form prescribed in rule 4 of the North Dakota Rules of Criminal Procedure commanding it to appear and answer the information or indictment. Such summons must be served as a summons in a civil action is served.
