Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
On parle de «rompu de regroupement» lorsque, en cas de regroupement d'actions (par exemple diminution du capital), le nombre d'actions anciennes possédées n'est pas un multiple du nombre d'actions à échanger contre une action regroupée. De même, il peut y avoir des «rompus de souscription» lorsqu'un porteur de titres doit acheter ou vendre des droits parce que le nombre d'actions qu'il possède (et donc de droits qui y sont attachés) ne correspond pas à un nombre entier d'actions nouvelles qu'il peut acquérir. 2, record 1, French, - fraction%20d%27action
