Art. 681
II. Consequences of default 1. By law and the articles of association 1 A shareholder who fails to pay in the issue amount for his share in good time is obliged to pay default interest. 2 Further, the board of directors has the power to declare that the defaulting shareholder has forfeited his rights in respect of the share subscription and any part payments already made and that his shares are forfeited and to issue new ones in their place. Where the forfeited shares have already been issued and cannot be physically obtained, such declaration of forfeiture is published in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce and in the form envisaged by the articles of association. 3 The articles of association may also provide that a shareholder in default also be required to pay a contractual penalty. |
