Without prejudice to the other obligations to provide information and advice that apply to him, the manager of the retirement savings plan or the service provider authorised to distribute the retirement savings plan, taking into account the situation of the potential holder, his knowledge and experience in financial matters, his long-term investment horizon, their expected return and their needs in terms of preparing for retirement, offers them an appropriate plan and informs them of the characteristics of this plan, in particular the financial management procedures, the conditions governing the availability of savings, as well as the tax and social security regime applicable, so that they can make an informed decision.

If the policyholder wishes to opt irrevocably for the liquidation of their rights in the form of a life annuity before the maturity date mentioned in article L. 224-1, they are expressly informed of the consequences of this choice and the irrevocable nature of their commitment.
