I. – Proceeds from the investment of the portion of sums received from the issue of securities covered by the provisions of Article L. 228-97 of the French Commercial Code transferred outside France to a person or entity, directly or indirectly, by the issuing company or through a third party, are included in the taxable income of this company for the first financial year ending on or after 31 December 2005 or, if later, for the financial year ending in the fifteenth year following the issue date, after deduction of interest already taxed on this same fraction after the twelfth anniversary date of the issue. For the application of the provisions of the previous sentence, the amount of this income is deemed to be equal to the difference between the nominal amount of the issue and the fraction transferred outside France, plus interest capitalised up to this twelfth anniversary, calculated at the actuarial interest rate defined in the second paragraph of 2 of article 238 septies E on the date of the transfer.
As an exception to the provisions of the first paragraph, this taxation is deferred in respect of the financial year during which these securities give rise to the payment of an amount of effective interest that is less than the product of the nominal amount of the issue by the legal interest rate if this financial year is subsequent to the financial year ended during the fifteenth year following the issue date.
In the event of the redemption of the securities after the tax year defined in the first or second paragraph, the cancellation of this debt does not give rise to additional taxation.
II. – The provisions of I apply to issues of securities carried out between 1 January 1988 and 31 December 1991 as well as to issues carried out in 1992 provided that the proceeds mentioned in I have not been taxed on the basis of article 238 bis-0 I, and for which the correlative debts are recorded in the opening balance sheet of the first financial year closed as from 31 December 2005 of the issuing company.
