In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related lockdown, curfew and travel restrictions, the French Government renewed and amended the temporary measures initially adopted in March 2020, in order to strengthen shareholders’ rights while maintaining the possibility for listed French companies to: (1) hold shareholders’ meetings “behind closed doors” through online or other non-physical arrangements; and (2) hold board meetings through conference calls, video conference calls or written consultation, irrespective of the provisions of the company’s articles of association or the board’s internal rules.
