1. On first call, the general meeting may adopt resolutions whatever the number of shareholders present or represented, save as provided in the following paragraph or in the articles of association.
1 - A assembleia geral pode deliberar, em primeira convocação, qualquer que seja o número de accionistas presentes ou representados, salvo o disposto no número seguinte ou no contrato.
2. For the general meeting to be able to resolve, on first call, on an amendment to the articles of association, a merger, division, conversion or dissolution of the company, or other matters for which the law requires a qualified majority without specifying it, shareholders holding shares corresponding to at least one third of the share capital must be present or represented.
2 - Para que a assembleia geral possa deliberar, em primeira convocação, sobre a alteração do contrato de sociedade, fusão, cisão, transformação, dissolução da sociedade ou outros assuntos para os quais a lei exija maioria qualificada, sem a especificar, devem estar presentes ou representados accionistas que detenham, pelo menos, acções correspondentes a um terço do capital social.
3. On second call, the meeting may adopt resolutions whatever the number of shareholders present or represented and the capital represented by them.

4. The notice convening a meeting may at the outset set a second meeting date for the event that the meeting cannot be held on the first date set owing to the absence of representation of the capital required by law or by the articles of association, provided that more than fifteen days elapse between the two dates; the rules on meetings on second call apply to the conduct of a meeting held on the second date so set.
4 - Na convocatória de uma assembleia pode logo ser fixada uma segunda data de reunião para o caso de a assembleia não poder reunir-se na primeira data marcada, por falta de representação do capital exigido pela lei ou pelo contrato, contanto que entre as duas datas medeiem mais de quinze dias; ao funcionamento da assembleia que reúna na segunda data fixada aplicam se as regras relativas à assembleia da segunda convocação.
The absence of a quorum on first call save as provided, the one-third share-capital quorum on first call for amendments, mergers, divisions, conversions, dissolution and other unspecified qualified-majority matters, the absence of a quorum on second call, and the more-than-fifteen-day interval for a second date set in the notice are retained.
