Without prejudice to the cases of early release provided for in article L. 3334-14, the sums or values registered in the participants’ accounts are paid out in the form of a life annuity acquired for valuable consideration.
However, the agreement establishing the collective retirement savings plan may stipulate the terms and conditions for delivery in capital or conversion into an annuity of these sums or values, as well as the conditions under which each participant in the plan expresses his or her choice.
