1 If, 18 months after Article 622 paragraph 1bis comes into force, a company limited by shares or partnership limited by shares still has bearer shares that are not registered in accordance with Article 622 paragraph 2bis, these shares shall by law be converted into registered shares. The conversion takes effect in relation to any person, irrespective of any provisions of the articles of association or commercial register entries that provide otherwise, and irrespective of whether share certificates have been issued or not.
2 The Commercial Register Office shall record the amendments resulting from paragraph 1 ex officio. It shall also enter a note to the effect that the documents contain information that is inconsistent with the entry.
3 The converted shares retain their nominal value, are paid up to the same extent and carry the same voting and property rights. Their transferability is not restricted.
