No more than one quarter of the capital of a société d’exercice libéral mentioned in article R. 4381-8 may be held by one or more persons who do not meet the conditions of the first paragraph or of 1° and 5° of article 5 of law no. 90-1258 of 31 December 1990 relating to the practice of the liberal professions in the form of companies.
However, where the société d’exercice libéral is constituted in the form of a société en commandite par actions (limited partnership with shares), the proportion of capital held by persons other than those mentioned in article 5 of the law of 31 December 1990 may be greater than that set in the preceding paragraph, but may not amount to more than half of that capital.
