I. – When a foreign undertaking duly established in a third country has entered into a contract pursuant to 2° of I of Article L. 310-2 and is no longer in one of the situations provided for in I of the same article, this direct insurance or reinsurance contract may not be renewed, extended or extended.
Nor may the contract give rise to new direct insurance or reinsurance transactions involving the issue of premiums. However, where contracts provide for the fractional or deferred payment of premiums or, after the issue of these premiums, a possible adjustment, by way of regularisation, of the amount initially paid, the undertaking referred to in the first paragraph may demand payment from the insured under the conditions set out in the second paragraph of article L. 113-3. The same applies to the reinsurance acceptance operations of the undertakings referred to in the first paragraph.
II. – Contracts which are renewed, extended or rolled over, or which are the subject of direct insurance or reinsurance transactions involving the issue of premiums by an undertaking referred to in I of this article, with the exception of the premium payment transactions referred to in the last two sentences of the second paragraph of I, are null and void.
However, this nullity is not enforceable against policyholders, subscribers and beneficiaries of contracts.
III. – Companies in the situation referred to in I of this article shall inform their policyholders, subscribers or members in accordance with the procedures specified by order of the Minister for the Economy.
