French term or phrase: ligne de participation
One company is planning to contribute shares to another. The tax implications are complicated, so the advice is to examine a point about a 50% threshold "pour chaque ligne de participation devant être apportée".
Any ideas? Could it be "each line of securities"?

area of participation


Explanation:
The companies have various areas of activity. So the shares are distributed over those activities and the transfer of shares takes part in each of the areas, and a threshold may thus be set in each area.

investment area


Explanation:
I haven't seen this term before, but I have seen "investor" being translated by "entite participante" in Menard's dictionnary. I suspect your phrase refers to investments, or investment areas.
Good luck

line of investment, line of equity interest


Explanation:
My Dictionnaire des Termes des Marchés, FICOM, suggests 'stake' and 'equity interest' for 'participation'.

Line of investment is succint but maybe your context requires a bit more definition : line of equity, line of equity interest.
