Any agreement entered into directly or through an intermediary between the company and one of the members of the Management Board or Supervisory Board, a shareholder holding more than 10% of the voting rights or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, the company controlling it within the meaning of Article L. 233-3 must be subject to the prior authorisation of the supervisory board.
The same applies to agreements in which one of the persons referred to in the previous paragraph has an indirect interest.
Agreements between the company and a company are also subject to prior authorisation if one of the members of the company’s Management Board or Supervisory Board is an owner, partner with unlimited liability, manager, director, member of the Supervisory Board or, in general, an executive of that company.
The prior authorisation of the Supervisory Board shall be justified by the interest of the agreement for the company, in particular by specifying the financial conditions attached to it.
