The articles of association of a European company which does not intend to offer its shares to the public, or which intends to make one of the offers referred to in 1° and 2° of Article L. 411-2 of the Monetary and Financial Code or article L. 411-2-1 of the same code, may provide that a shareholder company whose control is modified within the meaning of article L. 233-16 must inform the European Company of any such modification. The latter may decide, under the conditions laid down in the Articles of Association, to suspend the exercise of the non-pecuniary rights of this shareholder and to exclude him. The provisions of the first paragraph may apply, under the same conditions, to a shareholder who has acquired this status as a result of a merger, demerger or winding-up.
