In the event of the conversion of a société anonyme into a société européenne, the first paragraph of Article L. 225-244 does not apply.
The company draws up plans to convert the company into a société européenne. This draft is filed with the registry of the court in whose jurisdiction the company is registered and is subject to publicity, the terms of which are set by decree in the Conseil d’Etat.
One or more conversion auditors appointed by court order draw up, under their own responsibility, a report for the shareholders of the converting company certifying that the company has net assets at least equivalent to the capital plus any reserves that the law or the Articles of Association do not allow to be distributed. They are subject to the incompatibilities set out in article L. 822-11-3.
The conversion into a société européenne is decided in accordance with the provisions set out in articles L. 225-96 and L. 225-99.
