It was for similar reasons that we, at that time, exempted French
shares with double voting rights from the breakthrough rule, one reason for this being that these were not voting
shares of a particular class, that might be said to be guaranteed in the long term, but rather intended to reward long-term investment, with these voting rights being converted, after a certain period of time, into normal voting rights; the second being that, with the breakthrough rule, the reaching of 75% – which is, as a rule, the quorum at which the breakthrough can kick in – no longer raises the issue as to whether the
shares ...[+++] are double-vote or ordinary.
