English term

as nearly as may to be

English to French Law/Patents Finance (general)
Bonsoir,


Pourriez-vous m'aider à reformuler correctement la fin de cette phrase ?

The company shall not issue any unissued shares for cash unless the same are offered in the first instance to all the shareholders or to all shareholders of the class or classes being issued in proportion as nearly as may to be their existing holdings

La société ne doit émettre aucune action non-émise pour de la liquidité à moins que cette action n’ait été proposée en première instance à tous les actionnaires ou à tous les actionnaires de la catégorie ou des catégories émises en proportion aussi proche que leurs avoirs existants


Merci

Anne-Sophie Aboké (asker) May 14, 2010:
ok then, there should be an error in the text
mediamatrix (X) May 14, 2010:
It may be 'very formal'... ... but either it contains an error - or you have misquoted it. The end result is to make it meaningless.
Anne-Sophie Aboké (asker) May 13, 2010:
All I can say is that the original text is a very formal document stating the status of a limited shares company.
mediamatrix (X) May 13, 2010:
Source text error? I believe "as nearly as may TO BE their existing holdings" should read "as nearly as may BE TO their existing holdings"

aussi proche que possible

Assuming the ST should read :
"as nearly as may BE TO their existing holdings"

as nearly as may to be
-->
aussi proche que possible á leurs avoirs existants

Re: Asker's note below: Yes - 'DE leurs avoirs...' sounds (is!) better.
Note from asker:
"aussi proche que possible DE leurs avoirs existants", sounds good
