In the event of a change in the legal status of a company which has set up a company savings plan, in particular by merger, sale, takeover or demerger, and where this makes it impossible to continue the old savings plan, the sums allocated to it may be transferred to the savings plan of the new company, after informing the staff representatives in accordance with the conditions laid down by decree.
In this case, the period of unavailability that has elapsed for the sums transferred is deducted from the blocking period provided for in the new plan.
