Article L223-43 of the French Commercial code

The conversion of a limited liability company into a general partnership, a limited partnership or a limited partnership with shares requires the unanimous agreement of the partners.

The conversion into a public limited company is decided by the majority required to amend the Articles of Association. However, it may be decided by members representing a majority of the company’s shares if the shareholders’ equity shown in the last balance sheet exceeds 750,000 euros.

The decision shall be preceded by a report from a registered auditor on the company’s situation.

Any conversion, carried out in violation of the rules of this article, shall be null and void.

Article L223-43

La transformation d’une société à responsabilité limitée en société en nom collectif, en commandite simple ou en commandite par actions, exige l’accord unanime des associés.

La transformation en société anonyme est décidée à la majorité requise pour la modification des statuts. Toutefois, elle peut être décidée par des associés représentant la majorité des parts sociales si les capitaux propres figurant au dernier bilan excèdent 750 000 euros.

La décision est précédée du rapport d’un commissaire aux comptes inscrit, sur la situation de la société.

Toute transformation, effectuée en violation des règles du présent article, est nulle.
