Companies whose investments in securities subject to the capitalisation reserve do not exceed 750,000 euros at the inventory date may not apply the provisions of articles A. 343-3 and A. 343-3-1 (paragraphs 2, 4 and 5). In such cases, these companies are required to transfer to the capitalisation reserve 10% of the excess resulting from the comparison between the amount of the sale price and the entry price in the portfolio of the securities referred to in article R. 343-14 sold during the financial year, or to deduct from the reserve the entire shortfall resulting from the same comparison. Once the option has been exercised, it cannot be called into question.
