Explanation:
Jenna, I understand that "antecedentes anteriores" is making reference to some terminology already used in the document.

Las participaciones son lo que están descritas en los antecedentes anteriores, entonces tenes que tener un documento de referencia o al menos una mención en el texto de cual es el documento que describe a esas participaciones.

Espero que te sea de ayuda.

For the sake of consistency you should use the same term already used, following "hereinabove". I understand such terminology is used in clause 1 to 3 of the document.

Explanation:
It is that simple. You can add the bracketed text if you feel it necessary to be crystal clear.

Suerte.

agree  philgoddard: Yes, you don't really need to say "recitals" or "preamble", because that's all the document has consisted of so far.

Reference: recitals

Reference information:
I was about to post the same answer as Billh (well, I was going to say "previous recitals"), but there's no point in doing so now that he has. Here is what I was going to say:

"Antecedentes" are a series of preliminary paragraphs in a contract setting out the background and the reasons for the transactions. They are commonly headed "CONSIDERANDO" and are therefore often known as "considerandos". In English they are called "recitals". See, for example, Thomas L. West's Spanish-English Dictionary of Law and Business.

The text quoted here is one of the recitals, which are often though not always numbered with ordinals, like "Cuarto". The content makes it clear that this is one of the recitals. "Anteriores" therefore means the previous recitals, numbers one to three, or one or more of these.
