The Articles of Association determine the decisions that must be taken collectively by the shareholders in the forms and under the conditions that they provide.
However, the powers vested in the extraordinary and ordinary general meetings of public limited companies, in respect of increases, amortisation or reductions in capital, mergers, demergers, dissolutions, conversions into a company of another form, appointments of auditors, annual accounts and profits are, under the conditions laid down in the Articles of Association, exercised collectively by the members.
In companies with only one shareholder, the management report, the annual financial statements and, where applicable, the consolidated financial statements are approved by the Chairman. The single member may not delegate his powers. Its decisions are recorded in a register. Where the sole member, a natural person, personally assumes the chairmanship of the company, the filing, within the same period, with the Trade and Companies Register of the inventory and the annual accounts, duly signed, is equivalent to approval of the accounts without the sole member having to enter the receipt issued by the commercial court registry in the register provided for in the previous sentence.
Decisions taken in breach of the provisions of this article may be annulled at the request of any interested party.
