Article L225-72 of the French Commercial code

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

If, on the day of his appointment, a member of the Supervisory Board does not own the required number of shares or if, during his term of office, he ceases to own such number of shares, he shall be deemed to have resigned automatically, if he has not regularised his situation within a period of six months.

The provisions of the first paragraph do not apply to employee shareholders appointed as members of the Supervisory Board pursuant to Article L. 225-71, nor to employees appointed as members of the Supervisory Board pursuant to articles L. 225-79 and L. 225-79-2.
