I. – The Autorité des marchés financiers may appoint a provisional administrator for a person referred to in Article L. 543-1, to whom all powers of administration, management and representation of the legal entity shall be transferred. The provisional administrator shall dispose of the movable and immovable property of the legal entity in the interests of proper administration.
The administrator is appointed either at the request of the managers if they consider that they are no longer in a position to carry out their duties in a normal manner, or at the initiative of the Autorité des marchés financiers if the supervised entity can no longer be managed under normal conditions or if one or more of its managers is banned from carrying out his duties pursuant to Article L. 621-15, III, b.
The remuneration of the provisional administrator is set by the Autorité des marchés financiers. This remuneration and the expenses incurred by the provisional administrator shall be paid by the person to whom he is appointed.
II. – The Autorité des marchés financiers decides on the appointment of a provisional administrator following an adversarial procedure. Where warranted by urgent circumstances, the AMF may, on a provisional basis, order the appointment of a provisional administrator without an adversarial procedure. An adversarial procedure shall then immediately be initiated to lift, adapt or confirm this emergency measure.
III. – The decisions of the Autorité des marchés financiers relating to a controlled person taken pursuant to I of this article may be communicated to the undertaking which exercises exclusive control over that person within the meaning ofArticle L. 233-16 of the Commercial Code.
IV. – A decree of the Conseil d’Etat shall determine the application of this article.
