In the cases provided for in the preceding paragraph, an incorporator is entitled to one vote for each one share issued at incorporation for which the performance of contributions has been fulfilled;provided, however, that, if the share unit is provided for in the articles of incorporation, an incorporator is entitled to one vote for each one unit of the shares issued at incorporation.

前項の場合には、発起人は、出資の履行をした設立時発行株式一株につき一個の議決権を有する。ただし、単元株式数定款で定めている場合には、一単元の設立時発行株式につき一個の議決権を有する。

Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, if the stock company to be incorporated is a company with class shares, and it issues shares issued at incorporation of a class for which it is provided that the voting rights may not be exercised in connection with the election of some or all of the directors, with respect to relevant class of the shares issued at incorporation, the incorporators may not exercise voting rights in connection with the election of the directors at incorporation who are to become relevant directors.

前項の規定にかかわらず、設立しようとする株式会社が種類株式発行会社である場合において、取締役の全部又は一部の選任について議決権を行使することができないものと定められた種類の設立時発行株式を発行するときは、当該種類の設立時発行株式については、発起人は、当該取締役となる設立時取締役の選任についての議決権を行使することができない。

For the purpose of the application of the provisions of the preceding paragraph if the stock company to be incorporated is a company with audit and supervisory committee, the phrase", director" in the same paragraph is deemed to be replaced with ", director who is an audit and supervisory committee member or other director", and the term "relevant director" is deemed to be replaced with "these directors".
