In the case of registered securities, consisting of bonds or securities giving immediate or future access to the capital, the intermediary registered under the conditions provided for in Article L. 228-1 is required to disclose information concerning the owners of these securities at the request of the issuing company or its agent, which may be made at any time.
The communication deadlines and the list of information are set by decree in the Conseil d’Etat.
Where the deadlines are not met or where the information provided is incomplete or erroneous, the issuing company or its authorised representative may apply to the president of the court, acting in summary proceedings, for compliance with the disclosure obligation, subject to a fine.
The special rights attached to registered shares, in particular those provided for in articles L. 225-123 and L. 232-14, may only be exercised by an intermediary registered under the conditions provided for in Article L. 228-1 if the information provided by the intermediary enables the conditions required for the exercise of these rights to be verified.
