3. Terms of the Merger. As the Transferee holds all the issued securities of the three Transferors, no consideration
will be payable under the Merger in accordance with regulation 2(3) of the Regulations and Article 278 LCL. Furthermore,
pursuant to regulation 7(3) of the Regulations and as a result of there being no consideration for the Merger, this document
is not required to, and does not, give details of the share exchange ratio or amount of a cash payment (regulation 7(b)
of the Regulations and LCL Art. 261,2b)), the terms relating to the allotment of shares or other securities of the Transferee
(regulation 7(c) of the Regulations and LCL Art. 261,2c)) or the date from which any such shares shall participate in profits
of the Transferee (regulation 7(e) of the Regulations and LCL Art. 261,2d)).
4. Effects of the Merger for the creditors and debtors of the Transferors. All assets and liabilities of the Transferors
will, without exception, be transferred to the Transferee by virtue of law without regard as to the period at which they
were acquired or assumed.
5. Effects of the Merger for employees. With the exception of BML, none of the Merging Companies have any em-
ployees. BML has two employees, both of whom are employed in Luxembourg. As a result of the contemplated closure
of BML's offices in Luxembourg, the two employees of BML will become redundant and their contractual relationships
with BML will terminate. Please refer to paragraph 7 below for further details.
6. Effective Date.
Subject to
6.1. the completion of the relevant pre-merger steps by the Transferee and the Transferors in the UK and Luxembourg
respectively and the certification of the same by each of the Relevant Authorities;
6.2. the approval of the transfer of BML's insurance business to the Transferee by the Minister of Finance in Luxem-
bourg;
6.3. the approval of the Jersey Scheme by the Royal Court of the Island of Jersey;
6.4. the approval of the Hong Kong Transfer by the Hong Kong Insurance Authority; and
6.5. the approval of the Merger by the Relevant Authority in the UK,
it is expected that the Merger will become effective at midnight on 31 December 2009 such that with effect from the
Effective Date the Transferee will have absorbed the Transferors (without liquidation of the three Transferors) and all
transactions of the Transferors are to be treated as being those of the Transferee.
If for any reason the various steps and approvals (as mentioned hereabove) shall not have been completed or obtained
on or before the Effective Date, the date from which the operations of the Transferors shall be treated for accounting
purposes as being carried out on behalf of the Transferee shall be the Accounting Date (LCL Art. 261 e)).
7. Payments and benefits. No amount or benefit has been paid or given or is intended to be paid or given to any director
of the Transferee or any of the Transferors in their capacity as directors. Severance payments will have to be made in
accordance with Luxembourg labour law to the two employees of BML (in such capacity but not as directors of the
Transferors) who will become redundant upon completion of the Merger. The aggregate cost to be incurred by BML in
respect of these severance payments is estimated to be not more than € 40,000.
8. Independent expert's report. Pursuant to regulation 9(1)(a) of the Regulations and LCL Art. 266,1 and Art. 278, no
independent expert report is required in connection with the Merger and no such report will be prepared.
9. Articles of association of the Transferee. The current articles of association of the Transferee are attached to this
document as Appendix 1.
10. Employee participation rights.
None of the Merging Companies:
10.1. has an average number of employees that exceeds 500 in the six months before the publication of this document
and has a system of Employee Participation; or
10.2. has Employee Representatives amongst members of the administrative or supervisory organ or their committees
or of the management group which covers the profit units of the company,
nor does the Transferee have a proportion of Employee Representatives amongst its directors.
Accordingly, the Directors do not consider that the provisions of Part 4 of the Regulations apply to the Merger.

As at 31 December 2008, on the basis of audited figures, BML had total assets of US$431,713,655 and total liabilities

As at 31 December 2008, on the basis of audited figures, British Marine Holdings S.A. had total assets of US$4,249,925

$18,813,659 and total liabilities of US$2,501,350, resulting in net assets of US$16,312,309.
12. Tax impact on the Merger.
The Merger will have the following effects as to taxation:
12.1. In respect of BML, all of its business is written by its UK branch and is therefore subject to UK taxation. That
business will be subject to the transfer to another UK company, other than the Hong Kong Scheme policies which will
be transferred to QBE Hongkong and Shanghai Insurance Limited. BML has been advised by its tax advisors that the
Merger will have no tax consequences in Luxembourg. BML will be subject to Luxembourg tax on current income at-
tributable to its head office in Luxembourg until the Merger is completed.
12.2. In respect of British Marine Holdings S.A. and British Marine Holdings II S.A., the Merger will not trigger any
taxable realisation of capital gains. Until the Merger is complete, these companies will remain subject to Luxembourg
taxation on current income.

3. Termes de la Fusion. Comme le Cessionnaire détient tous les titres émis par les trois Cédants, aucune contrepartie
ne sera due en relation avec la Fusion conformément à la regulation 2(3) of the Regulations et à l'Article 278 de la LSC.
En outre, conformément à la regulation 7(3) of the Regulations et en conséquence du fait qu'aucune contrepartie n'est
due en relation avec la Fusion, le présent document ne doit pas, et ne donne aucun détail quant au ratio d'échange des
actions ou au montant d'un paiement en numéraire (regulation 7(b) of the Regulations et Art. 261, 2b de la LSC), quant
aux termes régissant l'allocation des actions ou autres titres du Cessionnaire (regulation 7(c) of the Regulations et Art.
261, 2c de la LSC) ou la date à partir de laquelle lesdites actions participent aux bénéfices du Cessionnaire (regulation 7
(e) of the Regulations et Art. 261, 2d de la LSC).
4. Effets de la Fusion pour les créanciers et les débiteurs des Cédants. Conformément à la loi, tous les actifs et passifs
des Cédants seront transférés sans exception au Cessionnaire, sans tenir compte de la date à laquelle ils ont été acquis
ou assumés.
5. Effets de la Fusion pour les employés. A l'exception de BML, aucune des Sociétés Fusionnantes n'a d'employés. BML
a deux employés, chacun étant employé à Luxembourg. Au vu de la fermeture des bureaux de BML prévue à Luxembourg,
les deux employés de BML seront licenciés et leurs relations contractuelles avec BML termineront. Se référer au para-
graphe 7 ci-dessous pour de plus amples informations.
6. Date Effective.
Sous réserve de
6.1. l'exécution des étapes pré-fusion pertinentes par le Cessionnaire et les Cédants respectivement au Royaume-Uni
et au Luxembourg, et la confirmation de cette exécution par les Autorités Compétentes;
6.2. l'approbation du transfert de l'activité d'assurance de BML au Cessionnaire par le Ministère des Finances luxem-
bourgeois;
6.3. l'approbation du Plan de Jersey par le Tribunal Royal de l'Ile de Jersey;
6.4. l'approbation du Transfert Hong-Kong par l'Autorité des Assurances de Hong-Kong; et
6.5. l'approbation de la Fusion par les Autorités Compétentes au Royaume-Uni,
il est prévu que la Fusion devienne effective le 31 décembre 2009 à minuit, de sorte qu'à compter de la Date Effective,
le Cessionnaire aura absorbé les Cédants (sans liquidation des trois Cédants) et toutes les transactions des Cédants
seront traitées comme étant celles du Cessionnaire.
Si, pour quelque raison que ce soit, les différentes étapes et approbations (telles que mentionnées ci-avant) n'ont pas
été exécutées ou obtenues le jour de la Date Effective, ou avant la Date Effective, la date à partir de laquelle les opérations
des Cédants seront traitées, pour des besoins comptables, comme étant celles du Cessionnaire, sera la Date Comptable
(Art. 261 (e) de la LSC).
7. Paiements et avantages. Aucun montant ni avantage n'a été payé ou donné, ni est-il prévu de payer ou donner à un
administrateur du Cessionnaire ou à l'un des administrateurs des Cédants en leur qualité d'administrateur. Des indemnités
de licenciement seront versées conformément au droit du travail luxembourgeois aux deux employés de BML (en cette
qualité et non en qualité d'administrateur des Cédants) qui seront licenciés au moment de la réalisation de la Fusion. Le
montant total à la charge de BML en relation avec ces indemnités de licenciement sont estimés à un montant maximum
de € 40.000.
8. Rapport de l'expert indépendant. Conformément à la régulation 9(1)(a) of the Régulations et à l'Art. 266, 1 et à
l'Art. 278 de la LSC, un rapport d'un expert indépendant n'est pas requis en relation avec la Fusion et un tel rapport ne
sera pas préparé.
9. Statuts du Cessionnaire. Les statuts actuels du Cessionnaire sont annexés au présent document à l'Annexe 1.
10. Droits de participation des employés.
Aucune des Sociétés Fusionnantes:
10.1 n'a un nombre moyen d'employés excédant 500 dans les six mois précédant la publication du présent document
et n'a de système de Participation des Employés; ou
10.2. n'a de Représentants des Employés parmi les membres des organes d'administration ou de surveillance ou de
leurs comités, des groupe de gestion qui couvrent les unités de profit de la société,
et le Cessionnaire n'a pas de Représentants d'Employés parmi ses administrateurs.
98358
En conséquence, les Administrateurs considèrent que les dispositions de la Partie 4 des Régulations ne s'appliquent
pas à la Fusion.
11. Evaluation des actifs et passifs devant être transférés. Un résumé des réserves brutes et nettes de BML au 31
décembre 2008 devant être transférées en relation avec le transfert de l'activité d'assurance de BML au Cessionnaire est

but the Directors may waive payment of the interest wholly or in part.
Deemed call

Joint Holders
6.6 Subject to the terms of allotment, the Directors may make arrangements on the issue of shares for a difference
between the Holders in the amounts and times of payment of calls on their shares.
Notice of forfeit
6.7 if a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the person from whom it is
due not less than fourteen Clear Days' notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which
may have accrued and all expenses that may have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. The

in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

other moneys payable in respect of the forfeited shares and not paid before the forfeiture.
Manner of forfeit

to any other person and at any time before sale, re-allotment or other disposition, the forfeiture may be cancelled on
such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited share is to be transferred to any
person the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the share to that person.
Consequences of forfeit
6.10 A person any of whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall
surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the shares forfeited but shall remain liable to the Company
for all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of those shares
with interest at the rate at which interest was payable on those moneys before the forfeiture or, if no interest was so
payable, at the appropriate rate (as defined in the Act) from the date of forfeiture until payment but the Directors may
waive payment wholly or in part or enforce payment without any allowance for the value of the shares at the time of
forfeiture or for any consideration received on their disposal.
Statutory declaration is conclusive evidence of forfeit
6.11 A statutory declaration by a Director or the Secretary that a share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be
conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share and the declaration
shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer if necessary) constitute a good title to the share and the person
to whom the share is disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the consideration, if any, nor shall his

of the share.

respect of any share which had been jointly held by him.

Holder he shall give notice to the Company to that effect. If he elects to have another person registered he shall execute

notice or instrument of transfer as if it were an instrument of transfer executed by the Member and the death or
bankruptcy of the Member had not occurred.

any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.

Directors may, on behalf of those Members, sell the shares representing the fractions for the best price reasonably
obtainable to any person (including, subject to the provisions of the Act, the Company) and distribute the net proceeds
of sale in due proportion among those Members, and the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument

12.6 The chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the

adjourned meeting other than business which might properly have been transacted at the meeting had the adjournment
not taken place. When a meeting is adjourned for fourteen days or more, at least seven Clear Days' notice shall be given
specifying the time and place of the adjourned meeting and the general nature of the business to be transacted. Otherwise

recorded in favour of or against the resolution.
Withdrawal of poll

Procedure for poll
12.10 A poll shall be taken as the chairman directs and he may appoint scrutineers (who need not be Members) and
fix a time and place for declaring the result of the poll. The result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the
meeting at which the poll was demanded.
Timing of poll
12.11 A poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith. A poll
demanded on any other question shall be taken either forthwith or at such time and place as the chairman directs not
being more than thirty days after the poll is demanded. The demand for a poll shall not prevent the continuance of a
meeting for the transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll was demanded. If a poll is demanded
before the declaration of the result of a show of hands and the demand is duly withdrawn, the meeting shall continue as
if the demand had not been made.
Notice of poll
12.12 No notice need be given of a poll not taken forthwith if the time and place at which it is to be taken are announced
at the meeting at which it is demanded. In any other case at least seven Clear Days' notice shall be given specifying the
time and place at which the poll is to be taken.
Resolution in writing
12.13 A resolution in writing executed by the number of Members required to pass the same resolution at a general
meeting shall be as valid and effective as if it had been passed at a general meeting of the Company duly convened and
held, and may be contained in an email, facsimile or other appropriate Electronic Communication sent to such address
(if any) notified by the Company for that purpose.
Any such resolution in writing may be contained in one document or in several documents in the same terms each
executed by one or more of the Members or their proxies or attorneys, and execution in the case of a body corporate
which is a Member shall be sufficient if made by a director thereof or by its duly signed representative.
13. Votes of members.
Voting rights of Members
13.1 Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any shares and to any other provisions of these Articles, on a
show of hands every Member present in person or by proxy shall have one vote, unless the proxy is himself a Member
entitled to vote and on a poll every Member present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for every share of which
he is the Holder.
Rights of joint Holders
13.2 In the case of joint Holders the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be

curator bonis or other person may, on a poll, vote by proxy. Evidence to the satisfaction of the Directors of the authority
of the person claiming to exercise the right to vote shall be deposited at the Registered Office, or at such other place as

him in respect of that share have been paid.
Objection to qualification to vote
13.5 No objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter except at the meeting or adjourned meeting at which
the vote objected to is tendered, and every vote not disallowed at the meeting shall be valid. Any objection made in due
time shall be referred to the chairman whose decision shall be final and conclusive.
Appointing a proxy
13.6 On a poll votes may be given either personally or by proxy. A Member may appoint more than one proxy to
attend on the same occasion provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share
or shares held by him. When two or more valid but differing instruments of proxy are delivered for the same share for
use at the same meeting, the one which is last validly delivered (regardless of its date or the date of its execution) shall
be treated as replacing and revoking the other or others as regards that share.

votes on the same) he is to be taken into account in calculating the quorum present at the meeting.

justified by the profits of the Company available for distribution. If the share capital is divided into different classes, the
Directors may pay interim dividends on shares which confer deferred or non-preferred rights with regard to dividend as
well as on shares which confer preferential rights with regard to dividend, but no interim dividend shall be paid on shares
carrying deferred or non-preferred rights if, at the time of payment, any preferential dividend is in arrear. The Directors
may also pay at intervals settled by them any dividend payable at a fixed rate if it appears to them that the profits available
for distribution justify the payment. Provided the Directors act in good faith they shall not incur any liability to the Holders
of shares conferring preferred rights for any loss they may suffer by the lawful payment of an interim dividend on any
shares having deferred or non-preferred rights.
Dividends linked to amounts Paid Up
28.3 Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to shares, all dividends shall be declared and paid according
to the amounts Paid Up on the shares on which the dividend is paid. All dividends shall be apportioned and paid propor-
tionately to the amounts Paid Up on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the
dividend is paid; but, if any share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date, that
share shall rank for dividend accordingly.
Dividend may be satisfied by asset distribution
28.4 A general meeting declaring a dividend may, upon the recommendation of the Directors, direct that it shall be
satisfied wholly or partly by the distribution of assets and, where any difficulty arises in regard to the distribution, the
Directors may settle the same and in particular may issue fractional certificates and fix the value for distribution of any
assets and may determine that cash shall be paid to any Member upon the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust
the rights of Members and may vest any assets in trustees.
Payment of dividend
28.5 Any dividend or other moneys payable in respect of a share may be paid by cheque sent by post to the registered
address of the person entitled or, if two or more persons are the Holders of the share or are jointly entitled to it by
reason of the death or bankruptcy of the Holder, to the registered address of that one of those persons who is first
named in the register of Members or to such person and to such address as the person or persons entitled may in writing
direct. Every cheque shall be made payable to the order of the person or persons entitled or to such other person as
the person or persons entitled may in writing direct and payment of the cheque shall be a good discharge to the Company.
Any joint Holder or other person jointly entitled to a share as aforesaid may give receipts for any dividend or other
moneys payable in respect of the share.
No interest on dividends
28.6 No dividend or other moneys payable in respect of a share shall bear interest against the Company unless oth-
erwise provided by the rights attached to the share.
Unclaimed dividends
28.7 Any dividend which has remained unclaimed for twelve Years from the date when it became due for payment
shall, if the Directors so resolve, be forfeited and cease to remain owing by the Company.
Dividends for particular share class
28.8 The Company may declare a dividend on any class of shares to the exclusion of any other class shares and may
declare a dividend at one rate per cent on one class of shares and at a different rate per cent on another class of shares
without the Holders of any class of shares being deemed to be prejudiced thereby.
Dividend deducted from unpaid sums
28.9 The Directors may deduct from any dividend payable on or in respect of a share all sums of money presently
payable by the Holder to the Company on any account whatsoever.
29. Accounts.
No right to inspect books

30.1 The Directors may with the authority of an ordinary resolution of the Company:
30.1.1 subject as hereinafter provided, resolve to capitalise any undivided profits of the Company not required for
paying any preferential dividend (whether or not they are available for distribution) or any sum standing to the credit of
the Company's share premium account or capital redemption reserve;
30.1.2 appropriate the sum resolved to be capitalised to the Members who would have been entitled to it if it were
distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions and apply such on their behalf either in or towards paying up
the amounts, if any, for the time being unpaid on any shares held by them respectively, or in paying up in full unissued
98379
shares or debentures of the Company of a nominal amount equal to that sum, and allot the shares or debentures credited
as fully paid to those Members, or as they may direct, in those proportions, or partly in one way and partly in the other:
but the share premium account, the capital redemption reserve, and any profits which are not available for distribution
may, for the purposes of this Article, only be applied in paying up unissued shares to be allotted to Members credited as
fully paid;
30.1.3 make such provision by the issue of fractional certificates or by payment in cash or otherwise as they determine
in the case of shares or debentures becoming distributable under this Article in fractions; and
30.1.4 authorise any person to enter on behalf of all the Members concerned into an agreement with the Company

trange, 1, cité Millewee.
Ladite comparante, représentée comme indiqué ci-avant, a arrêté, ainsi qu'il suit, les statuts d'une société anonyme
qu'elle constitue par les présentes:
Dénomination - Siège - Durée - Objet
Art. 1
er
. Il est formé une société anonyme sous la dénomination de "P.F. TRADING & CONSULTANCY S.A.".
Art. 2. Le siège de la société est établi à Luxembourg.
Sans préjudice des règles du droit commun en matière de résiliation contractuelle, au cas où le siège de la société est
établi par contrat avec des tiers, le siège de la société pourra être transféré sur simple décision du conseil d'administration
respectivement de l'administrateur unique, à tout autre endroit de la commune du siège.
Le siège social pourra être transféré dans toute autre localité du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg, au moyen d'une
résolution de l'actionnaire unique ou, en cas de pluralité d'actionnaires, au moyen d'une résolution de l'assemblée générale
des actionnaires.
Le conseil d'administration respectivement l'administrateur unique aura le droit d'instituer des bureaux, centres ad-
ministratifs, agences et succursales partout, selon qu'il appartiendra, aussi bien dans le Grand-Duché qu'à l'étranger.
Lorsque des événements extraordinaires d'ordre politique, économique ou social, de nature à compromettre l'activité
normale au siège social ou la communication de ce siège avec l'étranger se produiront ou seront imminents, le siège social
pourra être transféré provisoirement à l'étranger jusqu'au moment où les circonstances seront redevenues complètement
normales.
Un tel transfert ne changera rien à la nationalité de la société, qui restera luxembourgeoise. La décision relative au
transfert provisoire du siège social sera portée à la connaissance des tiers par l'organe de la société qui, suivant les
circonstances, est le mieux placé pour y procéder.
Art. 3. La société est constituée pour une durée indéterminée.
Art. 4. La société a pour objet la consultance, l'aide à la décision, l'élaboration de diagnostics, le conseil, l'organisation

sement ou au développement d'entreprises, en particulier la gestion intermédiaire, le suivi et l'assistance à la direction

restructuration de toutes entreprises par apport, participation ou toute autre forme d'investissement. La société a en
outre pour objet le développement, l'achat, la vente, la mise à disposition ou la prise sous licence d'octrois, de brevets,
de marques, de savoir-faire et d'actifs immatériels et durables semblables.
La société a pour objet la prise de participation/d'intérêts sous quelque forme que ce soit, dans toutes entreprises,

rectement à son objet.

Des certificats constatant ces inscriptions seront délivrés d'un registre à souches et signés par deux administrateurs
respectivement par l'administrateur unique.
Art. 7. La société ne reconnaît qu'un propriétaire par action.

non.
Si la société est établie par un actionnaire unique ou si, à l'occasion d'une assemblée générale des actionnaires, il est
constaté que la société a seulement un actionnaire restant, la composition du conseil d'administration peut être limitée
à un (1) membre jusqu'à l'assemblée générale ordinaire suivant la constatation de plus d'un actionnaire.
Les administrateurs ou l'administrateur unique seront élus par l'assemblée des actionnaires pour un terme qui ne peut
excéder six ans et toujours révocables par elle.
Les administrateurs sortants peuvent être réélus.
Le conseil d'administration élit parmi ses membres un président et, s'il en décide ainsi, un ou plusieurs vice-présidents

les réunions du conseil d'administration sont présidées par un administrateur présent désigné à cet effet.
Art. 10. Le conseil d'administration se réunit sur la convocation du président du conseil ou de deux de ses membres.
Les administrateurs seront convoqués séparément à chaque réunion du conseil d'administration. Sauf le cas d'urgence
qui doit être spécifié dans la convocation, celle-ci sera notifiée au moins quinze jours avant la date fixée pour la réunion.
Le conseil se réunit valablement sans convocation préalable au cas où tous les administrateurs sont présents ou vala-
blement représentés.
Les réunions du conseil d'administration se tiennent au lieu et à la date indiquée dans la convocation.
Le conseil d'administration ne peut valablement délibérer et statuer que si la majorité de ses membres est présente
ou valablement représentée. La présence peut également être assurée par téléphone ou vidéo conférence.
Tout administrateur empêché peut donner par écrit délégation à un autre membre du conseil pour le représenter et
pour voter en ses lieu et place.
Les résolutions du conseil seront prises à la majorité absolue des votants. En cas de partage, la voix de celui qui préside
la réunion sera prépondérante.
Les résolutions signées par tous les administrateurs seront aussi valables et efficaces que si elles avaient été prises lors
d'un conseil dûment convoqué et tenu. De telles signatures peuvent apparaître sur un document unique ou sur des copies
multiples d'une résolution identique et peuvent être révélées par lettres, télégrammes, télex ou fax.
Un administrateur ayant des intérêts personnels opposés à ceux de la société dans une affaire soumise à l'approbation
du conseil, sera obligé d'en informer le conseil et de se faire donner acte de cette déclaration dans le procès-verbal de
la réunion. Il ne peut prendre part aux délibérations afférentes du conseil.
Lors de la prochaine assemblée générale des actionnaires, avant de procéder au vote de toute autre question, les
actionnaires seront informés des matières où un administrateur a un intérêt personnel opposé à celui de la société.
Au cas où un membre du conseil d'administration a dû s'abstenir pour intérêt opposé, les résolutions prises à la majorité
des membres du conseil présents ou représentés à la réunion et qui votent, seront tenues pour valables.
Lorsque la société comprend un administrateur unique, il est seulement fait mention dans un procès-verbal des opé-
rations intervenues entre la société et son administrateur ayant eu un intérêt opposé à celui de la société.

Les convocations se font dans les formes et délais prévus par la loi.
Art. 19. L'assemblée générale annuelle se tiendra de plein droit le troisième mercredi du mois de juin de chaque année
