Reinsured companies may only be members of the company to which they are reinsured, in the same capacity as other members, if they are expressly authorised to do so by the Articles of Association of that company.
In this case, the articles of association determine the conditions under which reinsured companies may participate in general meetings.
However, the articles of association of companies whose exclusive object is reinsurance may allocate to each of the reinsured companies a number of votes at general meetings determined on the basis of the contributions ceded or on the basis of the number of members of the reinsured company. However, each reinsured company has at least one vote. The quorum required for valid deliberations must then be reached both in terms of the number of reinsured companies and the number of votes they hold.
