When, in accordance with article L. 225-149, the exercise of the rights attached to the securities giving access to the capital results in a fractional entitlement, this shall be paid in cash. This payment is equal to the fraction of the share forming fractional shares multiplied by the value of the share.
In companies whose shares are admitted to trading on a regulated market, this value is that of the share price quoted during the trading session on the day preceding that on which the request to exercise the rights is made.
In other companies, this value is set in accordance with the stipulations of the issue contract, either on the basis of the prices appearing in the daily statement of securities not admitted to trading on a regulated market, or on the basis of the company’s shareholders’ equity.
The issue contract may provide that the holder of the rights attached to the securities giving access to the capital has the right to request the delivery of the whole number of shares on condition that he pays the company the value of the additional fraction of share requested, set in accordance with the rules laid down in the two preceding paragraphs
