SECTION 516

The meeting of the shareholders shall be called by the board of directors or the general director, as the case may be. Failing this, it may be called: 1) by the auditor, after he has unsuccessfully requested that the board of directors or the managing director as the case may be, calls the meeting, by hand-delivered letter against a receipt or by registered mail with request for acknowledgement of receipt. Where the auditor calls such meeting, he shall set the agenda and may, for vital reasons, choose a meeting venue other than the one possibly stipulated in the articles of association. He shall state the reasons for the meeting in a report to be read at the meeting; 2) by an agent appointed by the competent court, ruling expeditiously, at the request of any interested party in case of an emergency, or of one or more shareholders representing at least one-tenth of the stated capital if it is a general meeting or a tenth of the shares of the category concerned if it is a special meeting; 3) by the liquidator.
