Article L232-13 of the French Commercial code

The terms and conditions for the payment of dividends voted by the General Meeting are set by the General Meeting or, failing this, by the Board of Directors, the Management Board or the Executive Chairmen, as the case may be.

However, dividends must be paid within a maximum period of nine months after the end of the financial year. This period may be extended by court order.

Les modalités de mise en paiement des dividendes votés par l’assemblée générale sont fixées par elle ou, à défaut, par le conseil d’administration, le directoire ou les gérants, selon le cas.

Toutefois, la mise en paiement des dividendes doit avoir lieu dans un délai maximal de neuf mois après la clôture de l’exercice. La prolongation de ce délai peut être accordée par décision de justice.
