Article L613-48-4 of the French Monetary and Financial Code

Without prejudice to the application of III of Article L. 613-55-3, the reduction referred to in I of Article L. 613-48 in the nominal value of an own funds instrument or an eligible commitment is definitive.

With the exception of obligations that have already matured, the obligations of the person concerned attached to an equity instrument or eligible commitment that has been reduced shall survive only in proportion to its new value.

Without prejudice to their possible conversion into equity securities, no compensation shall be paid to a holder of an equity instrument or an eligible commitment which has been subject to a reduction in its nominal value.

If the principal amount of an equity instrument or an eligible liability is reduced to zero, all rights attached to that instrument are automatically cancelled.

Article L613-48-4

Sans préjudice de l’application du III de l’article L. 613-55-3, la réduction mentionnée au I de l’article L. 613-48 de la valeur nominale d’un instrument de fonds propres ou d’un engagement éligible est définitive.

A l’exception des obligations déjà échues, les obligations de la personne concernée attachées à un instrument de fonds propres ou à un engagement éligible ayant fait l’objet d’une réduction ne subsistent qu’en proportion de sa nouvelle valeur.

Sans préjudice de leur éventuelle conversion en titres de capital, aucune indemnisation n’est versée à un détenteur d’instruments de fonds propres ou d’un engagement éligible ayant fait l’objet d’une réduction de leur valeur nominale.

La réduction à zéro du principal d’un instrument de fonds propres ou de celui d’un engagement éligible emporte l’annulation de plein droit de tous les droits attachés à cet instrument.
