Under penalty of nullity of the contract, directors other than legal entities are prohibited from contracting loans from the company in any form whatsoever, from being granted an overdraft by the company, whether on a current account or otherwise, and from having their commitments to third parties guaranteed or endorsed by the company.
However, if the company operates a banking or financial establishment, this prohibition does not apply to current transactions in this business entered into on normal terms.
The same prohibition applies to the Chief Executive Officer, the Deputy Chief Executive Officers and the permanent representatives of corporate directors. It also applies to the spouse, ascendants and descendants of the persons referred to in this article and to any interposed person.
