When a société par actions with a public offering is formed, the acts performed on behalf of the company being formed in accordance with the second paragraph of Article L. 210-6 are submitted to the constituent general meeting, after the first members of the board of directors or the supervisory board and the first statutory auditors have been appointed. These provisions do not apply when a société par actions with a public offering mentioned in 1° or 2° of article L. 411-2 of the Monetary and Financial Code or Article L. 411-2-1 of the same code.
The founders’ report lists each of these acts and indicates the commitment that would result for the company.
If the meeting authorises the company to take them over on its own account, this decision does not take effect, under the conditions set out in the second paragraph of Article L. 210-6, until the company is registered in the Trade and Companies Register.
The meeting may also give a mandate to one or more of the persons appointed as the first members of the Board of Directors or the Supervisory Board to make commitments on behalf of the company. Provided that they are determined and that their terms are specified by the mandate, the registration of the company in the Trade and Companies Register entails the assumption of these commitments by the company.
