French term (edited):
de la collectivité des associés
Selected
of the shareholders
This just means that to move the registered office (I presume this is what they're referring to) out of the department, an extraordinary resolution of the shareholders is required. In other words, normally an Extraordinary General Meeting would be called in order to consult all the shareholders. But the collectivité bit doesn't really add much - it just means 'all the shareholders', 'the shareholders collectively', i.e. the decision is a collective one (even though 100% of the shareholders may not actually turn up to the meeting!).

As Charlotte says, it just means the shareholders.
The point is that they can vote on this as a resolution at a meeting of the shareholders.
One way of keeping this in the translation is to refer to "collective decisions of the shareholders".

When I said they "can" vote I mean that they have the right to vote. The result of their vote would constitute an "extraordinary decision"; usually decisions about less important matters are just "ordinary decisions".

majority of the shareholders
I think that the whole point of this text is that the "collectivite" definitely implies a "majority" of the shareholders at an EGM (extraordinery general meeting)
