Article 135-decies

(Conflict of interest of the representative and substitutes)

  1. The granting of a proxy to a proxy holder with a conflict of interest is permitted provided that the proxy holder informs the shareholder in writing of the circumstances giving rise to the conflict of interest and provided that there are specific voting instructions for each resolution in respect of which the proxy holder is to vote on behalf of the shareholder. The burden of proof of having communicated to the shareholder the circumstances giving rise to the conflict of interest lies with the representative.

  2. For the purposes of this Article, a conflict of interests exists in any event where the representative or the substitute:

(a) controls, including jointly, the company or is controlled by it or is under common control with it;

(b) is associated with the company or exercises significant influence over it;

(c) is a member of the administrative or supervisory body of the company or of the persons referred to in points (a) and (b);

(d) is an employee or auditor of the company or of the persons referred to in point (a);

(e) is the spouse, relative or relative-in-law to the fourth degree of the persons referred to in points (a) to (c);

f) is bound to the company or to the persons indicated in letters a), b), c) and e) by a relationship of self-employment or employment or by other relationships of a financial nature that compromise his independence.

  1. The replacement of the representative by a substitute with a conflict of interests is permitted only if the substitute has been indicated by the shareholder. In that case, paragraph 1 applies. The duty of disclosure and the burden of proof shall remain with the agent.

  2. This Article shall also apply in the case of transfer of shares by proxy.
