The share capital must be at least €37,000.
The reduction of the share capital to a lower amount may only be decided subject to the condition precedent of a capital increase intended to bring it to an amount at least equal to the amount provided for in the previous paragraph, unless the company is transformed into a company of another form. If the provisions of this paragraph are not complied with, any interested party may apply to the courts to have the company dissolved. Such dissolution may not be ordered if, on the day the court rules on the merits of the case, regularisation has taken place.
By way of derogation from the first paragraph, the capital of press editors’ companies is at least 300 euros when they are incorporated in the form of a public limited company.
