1° Is a legal entity established or registered in France;

2° Has put in place any means to monitor and safeguard the assets raised in the offer.

The AMF examines the information document, the draft promotional communications intended for the public after approval has been granted, and the documents supporting the guarantees provided. It approves the offer document in accordance with the procedures and within the time limit set by its General Regulations.
