The creation of these shares gives rise to the application of articles L. 225-8, L. 225-10, L. 225-14, L. 225-147, L. 22-10-53 and L. 22-10-54 relating to special advantages when shares are issued to one or more persons specifically designated. In this case, the contribution auditor provided for by these articles is a statutory auditor who has not carried out an assignment within the company for three years.
Holders of shares to be converted into preference shares of the class to be created may not, on pain of nullity of the deliberation, take part in the vote on the creation of this class and the shares they hold are not taken into account for the calculation of the quorum and majority, unless all the shares are converted into preference shares.
By way of derogation from the first paragraph, where the issue relates to preference shares of a class that has already been created, the assessment of the special advantages resulting therefrom is made in the special report referred to in Article L. 228-12.
