Article L125-12 of the French Commercial code

The contract of incorporation or the Articles of Association, as the case may be, may make any transfer of shares subject to the approval of the transferee by the general meeting of the group or by the general meeting of the company, as the case may be. The meeting or the general meeting shall give its decision within one month of the date of the request for approval. The contract of incorporation or the Articles of Association, as the case may be, may also make the rightful claimants of a deceased unit-holder who were not involved in his activity in the collective shop subject to this approval. Refusal of approval shall give rise to a right to compensation under the conditions set out in articles L. 125-17 and L. 125-18.

Article L125-12

Le contrat constitutif ou les statuts, selon le cas, peuvent subordonner toute cession de parts à l’agrément du cessionnaire par l’assemblée du groupement ou par l’assemblée générale de la société, selon le cas. L’assemblée ou l’assemblée générale se prononce dans le délai d’un mois à compter de la date de la demande d’agrément. Le contrat constitutif ou les statuts, selon le cas, peuvent également soumettre à cet agrément les ayants droit d’un titulaire de parts décédé qui ne participaient pas à son activité dans le magasin collectif. Le refus d’agrément donne droit à indemnité dans les conditions prévues aux articles L. 125-17 et L. 125-18.
