Problem
There is a disparity between the linguistic versions. This provision refers to the disposition of stock, property and undertakings of the bank, as opposed to the documents (actes de disposition) that refer to this disposition.
Solution
In the French version, the term actes de disposition correspondants is replaced by disposition.
