When the company has decided to purchase its own shares with a view to cancelling them and reducing its capital accordingly, it shall make this purchase offer to all shareholders.
To this end, a notice of purchase shall be inserted in a medium authorised to receive legal announcements in the department of the registered office and, in addition, if all its shares are not in registered form, in the Bulletin des annonces légales obligatoires.
However, if all the company’s shares are registered, the insertions provided for in the previous paragraph may be replaced by a notice sent, by registered letter and at the company’s expense, to each shareholder.
