Article L225-110 of the French Commercial code

The voting right attached to the share belongs to the beneficial owner at ordinary general meetings and to the bare owner at extraordinary general meetings.

Joint owners of undivided shares are represented at general meetings by one of them or by a single proxy. In the event of disagreement, the proxy shall be appointed in court at the request of the most diligent co-owner.

Voting rights shall be exercised by the owner of the pledged securities. To this end, the pledgee shall, at the request of his debtor, deposit the shares which he holds as pledges, under the conditions and within the time limits set by decree in the Conseil d’Etat.

The Articles of Association may derogate from the provisions of the first paragraph.

Les copropriétaires d’actions indivises sont représentés aux assemblées générales par l’un d’eux ou par un mandataire unique. En cas de désaccord, le mandataire est désigné en justice à la demande du copropriétaire le plus diligent.

Le droit de vote est exercé par le propriétaire des titres remis en gage. A cet effet, le créancier gagiste dépose, à la demande de son débiteur, les actions qu’il détient en gage, dans les conditions et délais fixés par décret en Conseil d’Etat.

Les statuts peuvent déroger aux dispositions du premier alinéa.
