Where the capital is divided either into capital shares and fully or partially amortised shares, or into unequally amortised shares, the General Meeting of shareholders may decide, under the conditions required for amending the Articles of Association, to convert the fully or partially amortised shares into capital shares.
To this end, it provides that a compulsory deduction will be made, up to the amortised amount of the shares to be converted, from the portion of the company’s profits for one or more financial years accruing to these shares, after payment, in the case of partially amortised shares, of the first dividend or the statutory interest to which they may give entitlement.
