Any decision to increase the share capital through a cash contribution, unless it results from the prior issue of securities giving access to the share capital, requires the Extraordinary General Meeting to vote on a draft resolution to increase the share capital in accordance with the conditions set out in the articles L. 3332-18 to L. 3332-24 of the Labour Code, where the company has employees. However, the Extraordinary General Meeting shall vote on such a draft resolution when it delegates its authority to carry out the capital increase in accordance with Article L. 225-129-2.
This article is not applicable to controlled companies within the meaning of article L. 233-16 of this code when the general meeting of the company that controls them has decided on or authorised, by delegation, a capital increase, under the conditions provided for in the second paragraph of Article L. 3344-1 of the Labour Code, from which the employees of controlled companies may benefit.
