shareholders (excluding the following shareholders) who have held, for the consecutive period of past six months or more (or, if a shorter period is provided for in the articles of incorporation, that period), not less than three hundredths of the voting rights of all shareholders (excluding the following shareholders) (or, if a lower proportion is provided for in the articles of incorporation, the proportion):

総株主(次に掲げる株主を除く。)の議決権の百分の三(これを下回る割合を定款で定めた場合にあっては、その割合)以上の議決権を六箇月(これを下回る期間を定款で定めた場合にあっては、その期間)前から引き続き有する株主(次に掲げる株主を除く。)

発行済株式(次に掲げる株主の有する株式を除く。)の百分の三(これを下回る割合を定款で定めた場合にあっては、その割合)以上の数の株式を六箇月(これを下回る期間を定款で定めた場合にあっては、その期間)前から引き続き有する株主(次に掲げる株主を除く。)

a shareholder who is the relevant liquidating stock company; or

当該申立てに係る清算人である株主

For the purpose of the application of the provisions of the items of the preceding paragraph to liquidating stock companies that are not public companies, the phrase "have held, for the consecutive period of past six months or more (or, if a shorter period is provided for in the articles of incorporation, the period)", in those provisions is deemed to be replaced with "hold".

公開会社でない清算株式会社における前項各号の規定の適用については、これらの規定中「六箇月(これを下回る期間を定款で定めた場合にあっては、その期間)前から引き続き有する」とあるのは、「有する」とする。

The provisions of Article 346, paragraphs (1) through (3) apply mutatis mutandis to liquidators.
