In the event of a vacancy caused by the death or resignation of one or more members of the supervisory board, the supervisory board may, between two general meetings, make provisional appointments.
When the number of Supervisory Board members has fallen below the legal minimum, the Management Board must immediately convene an Ordinary General Meeting to complete the Supervisory Board’s membership.
When the number of members of the supervisory board has fallen below the statutory minimum without, however, falling below the legal minimum, the supervisory board must make provisional appointments to complete its membership within three months of the day on which the vacancy occurs.
When its composition no longer complies with the first paragraph of article L. 225-69-1, the Supervisory Board must make provisional appointments to fill the vacancy within six months of the day on which the vacancy occurs.
Appointments made by the Board pursuant to the first, third and fourth paragraphs above are subject to ratification by the next Ordinary General Meeting. In the absence of ratification, the deliberations taken and acts performed previously by the Board shall nonetheless remain valid.
Where the Board neglects to make the required appointments or if the meeting is not convened, any interested party may apply to the courts for the appointment of an agent to convene the general meeting, for the purpose of making the appointments or ratifying the appointments provided for in the third paragraph.
