Article L124-12 of the French Commercial code

The Ordinary General Meeting may, acting under the conditions of quorum and majority of the Extraordinary General Meeting if the cooperative is constituted in the form of a public limited company, or the Members’ Meeting acting under the conditions of quorum and majority of the meeting having as its object the amendment of the Articles of Association if it is a cooperative company constituted in the form of a limited liability company, transform into shares all or part of the rebates blocked in individualised accounts as well as all or part of the rebates distributable to the cooperative members in respect of the previous financial year.

In the latter case, the rights of each cooperative member in the allocation of shares resulting from this increase in capital are identical to those he would have had in the distribution of the rebates.

Article L124-12

L’assemblée générale ordinaire peut, en statuant aux conditions de quorum et de majorité de l’assemblée générale extraordinaire si la coopérative est constituée sous forme de société anonyme, ou l’assemblée des associés statuant aux conditions de quorum et de majorité de l’assemblée ayant pour objet la modification des statuts s’il s’agit d’une société coopérative constituée sous forme de société à responsabilité limitée, transformer en parts sociales tout ou partie des ristournes bloquées en comptes individualisés ainsi que tout ou partie des ristournes distribuables aux coopérateurs au titre de l’exercice écoulé.

Dans ce dernier cas, les droits de chaque coopérateur dans l’attribution des parts résultant de cette augmentation de capital sont identiques à ceux qu’il aurait eus dans la distribution des ristournes.
