The statutory auditor or, if no statutory auditor has been appointed, the chairman of the company, presents a report to the shareholders on the agreements entered into directly or through an intermediary between the company and its chairman, one of its directors, one of its shareholders 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.
The shareholders vote on this report.
Agreements that are not approved nevertheless produce their effects, with the onus being on the person concerned and possibly on the Chairman and the other directors to bear the harmful consequences for the company.
As an exception to the provisions of the first paragraph, where the company has only one shareholder, only agreements entered into directly or through intermediaries between the company and its manager, its sole shareholder or, in the case of a shareholder company, the company controlling it within the meaning of Article L. 233-3 shall be recorded in the register of decisions.
