Article R422-48 of the French Intellectual Property Code

Any excluded member has a period of six months from the date on which the company notifies him of this decision, by sending a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, in which to sell his shares.

During this period, the excluded member loses the remuneration linked to the exercise of his professional activity and his right to attend and vote at company meetings. They retain their right to receive dividends distributed in respect of their shares.

The shares of the excluded member are purchased either by a buyer approved by the company, or by the company, which must then reduce its capital. Failing an amicable agreement, the price at which the shares are bought back is determined under the conditions set out in article 1843-4 of the Civil Code.

Article R422-48

Tout associé exclu dispose pour céder ses parts sociales ou actions d’un délai de six mois à compter de la notification qui lui est faite de cette décision par la société, par l’envoi d’une lettre recommandée avec demande d’avis de réception.

Pendant ce délai, l’associé exclu perd les rémunérations liées à l’exercice de son activité professionnelle et son droit d’assister et de voter aux assemblées de la société. Il conserve son droit de percevoir les dividendes distribués au titre de ses parts sociales ou actions.

Les parts sociales ou actions de l’associé exclu sont achetées soit par un acquéreur agréé par la société, soit par la société, qui doit alors réduire son capital. A défaut d’accord amiable, le prix de rachat des parts sociales est déterminé dans les conditions prévues par l’article 1843-4 du code civil.
