Article L225-128 of the French Commercial code

New equity securities are issued either at their nominal amount, or at this amount plus an issue premium.

They are paid up either by cash contribution including by offsetting liquid and due claims on the company, or by contribution in kind, or by capitalisation of reserves, profits or issue premiums, or as a result of a merger or demerger.

They may also be paid up following the exercise of a right attached to securities giving access to the capital including, where applicable, the payment of the corresponding sums.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L225-128

Les titres de capital nouveaux sont émis soit à leur montant nominal, soit à ce montant majoré d’une prime d’émission.

Ils sont libérés soit par apport en numéraire y compris par compensation avec des créances liquides et exigibles sur la société, soit par apport en nature, soit par incorporation de réserves, bénéfices ou primes d’émission, soit en conséquence d’une fusion ou d’une scission.

Ils peuvent aussi être libérés consécutivement à l’exercice d’un droit attaché à des valeurs mobilières donnant accès au capital comprenant, le cas échéant, le versement des sommes correspondantes.
