All subscriptions are recorded in a subscription form drawn up in accordance with conditions laid down by decree.
At least one quarter of the nominal value of shares subscribed for in cash must be paid up at the time of subscription and, where applicable, the full amount of the issue premium. The remainder must be paid up in one or more instalments within five years of subscription.
No new shares may be created with a view to increasing the share capital until the initial capital has been paid up in full and until all offers to sell shares that have been entered in the register provided for in Article L. 214-93 for more than three months have been satisfied at a price less than or equal to that asked of new subscribers.
A reduction in capital that is not due to losses may not be invoked against creditors whose claims predate the reduction. In the event of non-payment, such creditors may demand repayment to the company of the sums reimbursed to the shareholders.
