The liquidator, within three months of the close of each financial year, shall draw up the annual accounts in the light of the inventory he has made of the various assets and liabilities existing at that date and a written report in which he gives an account of the liquidation operations during the past financial year.
Unless dispensation is granted by a court decision, the liquidator convenes, in accordance with the procedures set out in the Articles of Association, at least once a year and within six months of the end of the financial year, the shareholders’ meeting which rules on the annual financial statements, grants the necessary authorisations and, if applicable, renews the term of office of the auditors, statutory auditors or members of the supervisory board.
If the meeting is not convened, the report provided for in the first paragraph above is filed with the clerk of the commercial court and communicated to any interested party.
If the liquidator fails to take these steps, he may be stripped of all or part of his right to remuneration for his entire assignment by the president of the court to which the matter is referred pursuant to article L. 238-2. He may also be dismissed in the same manner.
