French term or phrase: prendre rang antérieurement à
My trouble is with the "prenant rang antérieurement aux" in the example below.

This is from the Articles of Incorporation of a Canadian corporation

Outre les autres formalités requises par la Loi canadienne sur les sociétés par actions, aucune création d’actions de même rang ou prenant rang antérieurement aux actions de catégorie «F» ne sera autorisée et les dispositions relatives aux actions de catégorie «F» ou aux actions de toute autre catégorie de même rang ou prenant rang antérieurement aux actions de catégorie «F» ne pourront être modifiées à moins que cela ne soit ratifié aux deux tiers (2/3) des voix exprimées par les détenteurs d’actions de catégorie «F» à une assemblée extraordinaire convoquée à cette fin

take priority over


Explanation:
ou prenant rang antérieurement aux actions de catégorie «F» > or taking priority over *Class* F shares.

Tentatively, a more literal translation.

'Ranking higher than' suggests to me mortgages or land charges in a (UK) land registration context - which would throw up the question of whether 'antérieurement' would mean jumpting the queue (AmE) line in time as opposed to number.

Example sentence(s):
  • Such shares customarily rank ahead of other shares (particularly ordinary shares) either for dividends or priority in liquidation proceedings.

  -> Thanks. Considering the corporate vs. land registration divide, I had been disinclined to give a n/a explanation.
