The capital must be fully subscribed.

Cash shares are paid up, at the time of subscription, by at least half of their nominal value. The remainder is paid up in one or more instalments by decision of the Board of Directors or the Management Board, as the case may be, within a period that may not exceed five years from the date of registration of the company in the Trade and Companies Register.

Contributed shares are paid up in full as soon as they are issued.

Shares may not represent industrial contributions.
