When a company of any form that does not have a statutory auditor is converted into a joint stock company, one or more conversion auditors, responsible for assessing under their responsibility the value of the assets making up the company’s assets and special benefits, shall be appointed, unless unanimously agreed by the partners by court decision at the request of the company directors or one of them. The transformation auditors may be responsible for drawing up the report on the company’s situation referred to in the third paragraph of Article L. 223-43. In this case, only one report is drawn up. These statutory auditors are subject to the incompatibilities set out in article L. 822-11-3. The report is made available to the shareholders.
The partners decide on the valuation of the assets and the granting of special benefits. They may only reduce them unanimously.
Failing the express approval of the partners, recorded in the minutes, the conversion is null and void.
