More explanation: il refers to the droit...right(s) attaching to that class of shares......however here, and the French detacher...here. means that....

The rights can be traded or sold..as can the shares to which this right attaches....

So, you can sell or trade the rights, and sell or trade the shares...

connected to those rights...because in English we don\'t express this as: the rights can be traded (negotiated) and sold as can the shares from which they are detached...

here\'s another way to say it to get the idea of detaches:

Final: the rights can be traded (negotiated) and sold separately from the shares to which they attach.....

also, use plural in English..share rights..not share right...

détaché here = separately from

agree  Sarah Walls
1 hr
  -> whew....took me a while to come up with the separately :)
neutral  Christopher RH: agreed absolutely for your initial interpretation. However the sentence structure is intended to say they are negotiable "to the same extent as" the shares to which they were "originally" attached... /// You don't understand how "x, comme Y" works in Fr?
13 hrs
  -> to the same extent in French is not comme; it's tout autant que..i wonder where you got the idea of "extent"; the main idea is separability of shares and share rights..that is all.....imo..:)

...comme les actions dont il est détaché.
... as are the shares to which they were originally attached


Explanation:
For the English I think all of this has to be in the plural. I'm sure a more formal linguist would have a better term but the French here uses an "indefinite" form of the singular which feels wrong in English.

For the meaning:
Share allotment rights are freely negotiatiable on their own; they are negotiable *to the same extent* or *equally* as the shares, under which the rights arose, are themselves negotiable even after these rights have been hived off and assigned separately.

The phrase therefore says three things at the same time: it confirms that the shares are negotiable, including after being amputated of their right to allotment under new share issues, and that the allotment rights are themselves negotiable.

I would avoid "detached" - hence the suggested phrasing of "to which they were originally attached".

I know the phrasing looks a bit strange in English but the only other solution is to rework the whole paragraph.
