The acquisition or extension of financial holdings by the caisse centrale de réassurance under the conditions provided for by the legislation in force must, notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the articles of association, be subject to approval by order of the Minister responsible for the economy and finance in all cases where such acquisition or extension of holdings results in the caisse centrale de réassurance acquiring a stake equal to or greater than 10% in the capital of a company.
However, the caisse centrale de réassurance may, without the aforementioned approval, acquire or extend any financial holdings in the capital of the sociétés immobilières de promotion defined in Title I of the law of 16 July 1971, when the amount of these acquisitions or extensions of holdings in the capital does not exceed 76,224.50 euros.
