Without prejudice to the provisions of Title III of Book II of the French Commercial Code, the conditions of liquidation and the methods of asset distribution are determined by the fund rules or the articles of association of the general purpose investment fund. The management company shall act as liquidator; failing this, the liquidator shall be appointed by the courts at the request of any interested party.
However, notwithstanding the provisions of Title III of Book II of the Commercial Code, where the management company or the custodian can demonstrate serious difficulties in performing the duties of liquidator, these duties shall be performed by a third party appointed by the President of the Paris Commercial Court at the request of the President of the Autorité des marchés financiers.
