A shareholder who has not duly made the declarations provided for in I, II, VI bis and VII of Article L. 233-7 to which he was required to make a declaration shall be deprived of the voting rights attached to the shares exceeding the fraction that has not been duly declared for any shareholders’ meeting held until the expiry of a period of two years following the date on which the notification is duly made.
Under the same conditions, the voting rights attached to these shares that have not been duly declared may not be exercised or delegated by the defaulting shareholder.
