Any shareholder has the right to take part in collective decisions.
The co-owners of an undivided share are represented by a single agent, chosen from among the undivided shareholders or from outside them. In the event of disagreement, the proxy shall be appointed in court at the request of the most diligent.
If a share is encumbered by a usufruct, the bare owner and the usufructuary shall have the right to participate in collective decisions. The right to vote belongs to the bare owner, except for decisions concerning the allocation of profits, when it is reserved for the beneficial owner. However, for other decisions, the bare owner and the usufructuary may agree that the voting right will be exercised by the usufructuary.
The Articles of Association may derogate from the provisions of the second paragraph and the second sentence of the third paragraph.
