When a company that has entered into a profit-sharing agreement employs at least fifty employees, the obligations set out in this section do not apply until the third financial year after the profit-sharing threshold is crossed, if the agreement is applied continuously during this period.
At this date, a profit-sharing agreement may be concluded under the conditions of article L. 3324-2 on a basis of calculation and distribution that is the same as that of the profit-sharing agreement that has expired.
