Where a provisional administrator or liquidator has been appointed for a credit institution in accordance with Articles L. 612-34 and L. 613-24, the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution may, after obtaining the opinion of the guarantee fund requested under Article L. 312-5, refer the matter to the court so that, where it considers that this is in the interests of depositors, it may order the sale of the shares held by one or more de jure or de facto managers of the institution, whether paid or unpaid. The sale price shall be determined by a court-appointed expert. The shares are valued using the same methods as for the sale of assets, with appropriate weightings in each case, depending on the value of the assets, profits made, the existence of subsidiaries and business prospects and, for companies whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market, the stock market value. The action is brought by summons delivered to the shareholders concerned. The competent court is the one in whose jurisdiction the registered office of the credit institution is located.
Under the same conditions, the court may decide that the voting rights attached to shares or voting right certificates held by one or more de jure or de facto managers, whether remunerated or not, shall be exercised, for a period to be determined by the court, by a court-appointed agent.
Under the same conditions, the court may also order the transfer of all the shares of the establishment, or of the shares and corporate units that have not been transferred in accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph of this article. If the shares are admitted to trading on a regulated market, the terms and conditions of the transfer shall be specified in the General Regulations of the Autorité des marchés financiers.
The amount of compensation due to unidentified holders shall be recorded.
