Explanation:
Définition : Action de roulement

Une action de roulement est une action habituellement prioritaire en ce qui a trait au versement des dividendes et au remboursement consécutif d’une éventuelle liquidation. Cette action est généralement non-votante.


Preferred Stocks

Preferred stockholders have a higher claim on distributions (e.g. dividends) than common stockholders.

Preferred stockholders usually have no or limited, voting rights in corporate governance.

In the event of a liquidation, preferred stockholders claim on assets is greater than common stockholders but less than bondholders.

Preferred stock has characteristics of both bonds and common stock which enhances its appeal to certain investors.


Common Stocks

Common stock is a security that represents ownership in a corporation. Holders of common stock elect the board of directors and vote on corporate policies. This form of equity ownership typically yields higher rates of return long term. However, in the event of liquidation, common shareholders have rights to a company's assets only after bondholders, preferred shareholders, and other debtholders are paid in full. Common stock is reported in the stockholder's equity section of a company's balance sheet.

turnover of stocks and shares


Explanation:
"The business company cannot pay any dividend or make a payment with a view to buying them if a payment becomes unable to contribute or deposit (pay) the amounts needed to purchase or re-purchase all of the turnover of the stocks and shares in circulation."

According to an on-line translator aid, a definition is 'rolling action(s)'.
In financial correspondence 'actions' in French are 'shares' connected with invested money. Since it's about necessary money deposited
('verser les sommes nécessaires')
as well as the purchase and re-purchase of all shares in circulation
('pour acheter ou racheter toutes les actions en circulation')
a 'turnover of stocks and shares' might be an appropriate description.

(The original words were:
"La societé ne peut payer aucun dividende sur les actions de catégorie A ni faire un paiement en vue de les acheter si ce paiement la rendait incapable de verser les sommes nécessaires pour acheter ou racheter toutes les actions de catégorie E en circulation").
Another possibility is:
"Unless enough money is deposited then the company will not be able to purchase or re-purchase all of the stocks and shares in circulation."
