Hello,

What I believe your phrase means, based on some guesswork regarding the way in which the participle 'συντρέχοντες' is used in this text, is the following:
For reasons pertaining to the complex Greek grammar, I doubt that the participle of the verb 'συντρέχω' is used here with its connotative meaning ('to aid/to assist', or 'to benefit') that derives from the Greek cultural concept of 'hurrying together with others to aid someone, or to assist in a difficult situation'). Consequently, if 'συντρέχοντες' is used with the literal meaning of the verb 'συντρέχω' ('to run/to hurry together with others'), then this phrase means that all company members may submit their offers for the acquisition of shares, according to their participation to the share capital.

Does the context, by any chance, referrs to mandatory acquisition of shares? Because in that case, the translation of this phrase could vary a little.

... according TO their participation to the share capital...

(Influnenced by the notion of 'hurrying', I hurried myself and forgot to add a much needed 'TO').

And I am terribly sorry for the spelling and grammar errors of my last sentence! I will correct to 'Does the context refer to...', apologize again, and turn off my mac, since apparently my mind has decided to take a break for the rest of the day...
Something went wrong...
