Any partner may obtain the consent of the other partners to a proposed pledge under the same conditions as their consent to a transfer of shares.
The consent given to the proposed pledge shall imply approval of the transferee in the event of compulsory realisation of the company shares provided that such realisation is notified one month before the sale to the partners and the company.
Each shareholder may take the place of the purchaser within five clear days of the sale. If several shareholders exercise this option, they are deemed to be purchasers in proportion to the number of shares they previously held, unless otherwise stipulated or agreed. If no member exercises this option, the company may repurchase the shares itself, with a view to their cancellation.
The notification provided for in the second paragraph and the third paragraph are not applicable to pledges made pursuant to article 2348.
