The amount of bonuses may be allocated directly to the mathematical provisions or transferred, in whole or in part, to the provision for bonuses referred to in article R. 343-3. Amounts transferred to the latter provision are allocated to the mathematical reserve or paid to policyholders during the eight financial years following the year in respect of which they were transferred to the provision for profit sharing. For commitments covered by Article L. 134-1, the sums transferred to the collective deferred diversification provision are used under the conditions set out in Article R. 134-4 and within a period of fifteen years.
In the case of supplementary occupational pension funds and commitments covered by the auxiliary appropriation accounts referred to in article L. 142-4, the maximum period for the reversal of sums transferred to the provision for profit sharing is fifteen years. The amount of profit sharing valued for an appropriation sub-account provided for in the first paragraph of article L. 381-2 or in article L. 142-4 is allocated to the commitments in this account within a maximum period of fifteen years. The amount of profit sharing valued for commitments not covered by a subsidiary allocation account is allocated to the contracts representing these commitments within the same period.
