When the Extraordinary General Meeting delegates to the Board of Directors or the Management Board its authority to decide on a capital increase, it sets the period, which may not exceed twenty-six months, during which this delegation may be used and the overall ceiling for this increase.
This authorisation supersedes any previous authorisation for the same purpose.
The issues mentioned in articles L. 225-135 to L. 225-138-1 and L. 225-177 to L. 225-186, L. 225-197-1 to L. 225-197-3 as well as issues of preference shares referred to in articles L. 228-11 to L. 228-20 must be the subject of specific resolutions.
Within the limits of the delegation granted by the General Meeting, the Board of Directors or the Management Board shall have the necessary powers to set the terms and conditions of the issues, record the completion of the resulting capital increases and amend the Articles of Association accordingly.
