premium over par / other paid-in capital
Explanation:
"Capital social" is the nominal value of shares issued and outstanding. Whatever investors pay to the company for newly created shares in excess of their nominal or par value is called "prime d'émission", which is sometimes translated as "share premium" although I prefer one of the two phrases above, depending on the context (other paid-in capital would be more appropriate for a balance sheet item). "Paid-in capital in excess of par" is also used, but is a bit cumbersome IMO.
