CONT

Treasury share underwritings or distributions are priced below the stock's prevailing market price, but the discount from the market can be no greater than a stated schedule of percentages (10% to 25% depending on the market price of the underwritten shares).

OBS

The correct French equivalent is "action" in this context because "stock" and "share" are used interchangeably as a singular noun. However, "stock" is usually a collective noun, with "actions" as its French equivalent and "shares" as its synonym.
