When a change occurs in the legal situation of the company, in particular by merger, transfer or demerger, which requires the setting up of new staff representative institutions, the profit-sharing agreement continues or may be renewed in accordance with one of the methods provided for in article L. 3312-5.
Where this change makes it impossible to apply the profit-sharing agreement, the agreement ceases to have effect between the new employer and the employees of the company.
In the absence of a profit-sharing agreement applicable to the new company, the latter shall initiate negotiations within six months, using one of the methods provided for in Article L. 3312-5, with a view to possibly concluding a new agreement.
