Article R822-85 of the French Commercial code

If the reserves constituted by undistributed profits or capital gains due to the members’ industry allow it, the share capital is periodically increased. The shares created for this purpose are distributed among the members, including those who have contributed only their industry. The Articles of Association shall lay down the conditions for the application of this paragraph.

The capital may not be increased by capitalisation of reserves before the shares subscribed for in cash have been paid up in full.

Article R822-85

Si les réserves constituées au moyen de bénéfices non distribués ou de plus-values d’actif dues à l’industrie des associés le permettent, il est procédé périodiquement à l’augmentation du capital social. Les parts sociales créées à cet effet sont réparties entre les associés, y compris ceux qui n’ont apporté que leur industrie. Les statuts fixent les conditions d’application du présent alinéa.

Le capital ne peut être augmenté par incorporation de réserves avant la libération intégrale des parts sociales souscrites en numéraire.
