12. Any member of the board of directors, other than the president of the Société, having a direct or indirect interest in an enterprise which places his personal interest in conflict with that of the Société shall, on pain of forfeiture of his office, disclose it in writing to the president of the Société and abstain from taking part in any debate or voting on any decision bearing upon the enterprise in which he has an interest.
The president and the employees of the Société may not, on pain of forfeiture of office, have any direct or indirect interest in an enterprise placing their personal interest in conflict with that of the Société. However, forfeiture is not incurred if that interest devolves to them by succession or gift, provided they renounce or dispose of it with diligence.
