In the event of contributions in kind or the stipulation of special benefits, one or more contribution auditors shall be appointed unanimously by the shareholders or, failing this, by court decision. They shall be subject to the incompatibilities provided for in article L. 822-11-3, without prejudice to the possibility of being appointed to perform the duties provided for in articles L. 225-8, L. 225-101, L. 225-131, L. 228-15 and L. 228-39.
These commissioners assess, under their responsibility, the value of contributions in kind and special benefits. A decree of the Conseil d’Etat shall set the main points of their report, the deadline by which it must be submitted and the conditions under which it is made available to shareholders. The provisions of article L. 225-10 are applicable to the extraordinary general meeting.
If the meeting approves the valuation of the contributions and the granting of special benefits, it records the completion of the capital increase.
If the meeting reduces the valuation of the contributions and the payment of special benefits, the express approval of the changes by the contributors, the beneficiaries or their proxies duly authorised for this purpose, is required. Otherwise, the capital increase shall not be carried out.
Capital securities issued in consideration for a contribution in kind shall be fully paid up as soon as they are issued.
