Article L228-35-5 of the French Commercial code

When the priority dividends due in respect of three financial years have not been paid in full, the holders of the corresponding shares acquire, in proportion to the percentage of the capital represented by these shares, a voting right equal to that of the other shareholders.

The voting right provided for in the previous paragraph continues until the expiry of the financial year in which the priority dividend has been paid in full, including the dividend due in respect of previous financial years.

Article L228-35-5

Lorsque les dividendes prioritaires dus au titre de trois exercices n’ont pas été intégralement versés, les titulaires des actions correspondantes acquièrent, proportionnellement à la quotité du capital représentée par ces actions, un droit de vote égal à celui des autres actionnaires.

Le droit de vote prévu à l’alinéa précédent subsiste jusqu’à l’expiration de l’exercice au cours duquel le dividende prioritaire aura été intégralement versé, y compris le dividende dû au titre des exercices antérieurs.
