Article L225-25 of the French Commercial code

The Articles of Association may require each director to own a number of shares in the company, which they determine.

If, on the day of his appointment, a director does not own the required number of shares or if, during his term of office, he ceases to own them, he shall be deemed to have resigned automatically if he has not rectified his situation within six months.

The provisions of the first paragraph do not apply to employee shareholders appointed as directors pursuant to article L. 225-23, nor to employees appointed as directors pursuant to articles L. 225-27 and L. 225-27-1.

Article L225-25

Les statuts peuvent imposer que chaque administrateur soit propriétaire d’un nombre d’actions de la société, qu’ils déterminent.

Si, au jour de sa nomination, un administrateur n’est pas propriétaire du nombre d’actions requis ou si, en cours de mandat, il cesse d’en être propriétaire, il est réputé démissionnaire d’office, s’il n’a pas régularisé sa situation dans le délai de six mois.

Les dispositions du premier alinéa ne s’appliquent pas aux actionnaires salariés nommés administrateurs en application de l’article L. 225-23, ni aux salariés nommés administrateurs en application des articles L. 225-27 et L. 225-27-1.
