French term or phrase: ordinaires réunies extraordinairement
"Des assemblées générales, soit ordinaires, dite "ordinaires réunies extraordinairement", soit extraordinairement peuvent, en outre, être réunies à toutes époque de l'année."

ordinary general meetings convened extraordinarily
Explanation:
Weird sentence that. Assemblée générale extraordinaire and assemblée générale ordinaire are usually contrasted to each other (extraordinary meeting vs. ordinary general meeting). I reckon in this instance the writer wants to say that the general meeting is ordinary but the mode of convening is extraordinary. Your phrase:

"In addition, general meetings, whether ordinary (so-called 'ordinary general meetings convened extraordinarily'), or whether extraordinary, may be called at any time of the year."

unscheduled regular meeting


Explanation:
As far as I know this is what is usually used in this type of context, namely in by-laws of organizations concerning official meetings. The reference I give is an English example I found.
