Article L231-4 of the French Commercial code

Shares or share coupons are registered, even after they have been fully paid up.

They are only negotiable after the definitive incorporation of the company.

Negotiation can only take place by means of a transfer on the company’s registers, and the Articles of Association may give either the Board of Directors or the General Meeting the right to oppose the transfer.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L231-4

Les actions ou coupons d’actions sont nominatifs, même après leur entière libération.

Ils ne sont négociables qu’après la constitution définitive de la société.

La négociation ne peut avoir lieu que par voie de transfert sur les registres de la société, et les statuts peuvent donner, soit au conseil d’administration, soit à l’assemblée générale, le droit de s’opposer au transfert.
