Non-PRO English to French Law/Patents Law (general) Statuts de société

Bonjour à tous,

Je ne parviens pas à comprendre dans le contexte ci-dessous les termes "underwrite, sub-underwrite, or guarantee
subscription"

For the purposes of this article, the following are permitted causes:

(a) a guarantee given, or to be given, by or to a director in respect of an obligation
incurred by or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

(b) subscription, or an agreement to subscribe, for shares or other securities of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, or to underwrite, sub-underwrite, or guarantee
subscription for any such shares or securities; and

Merci d'avance à tous pour votre aide.

Anne
