The legal representative or, if there is one, the statutory auditor of a non-trading private-law legal entity with an economic activity or of an association referred to in article L. 612-4 presents to the deliberative body or, in the absence of a deliberative body, attaches to the documents communicated to members a report on agreements entered into directly or through an intermediary between the legal entity and one of its directors or one of the persons performing a corporate officer role.
The same applies to agreements entered into between this legal entity and another legal entity of which a partner with unlimited liability, a manager, a director, the chief executive officer, a deputy chief executive officer, a member of the management or supervisory board, or a shareholder with more than 10% of the voting rights is simultaneously a director or acts as a corporate officer of the said legal entity.
The deliberative body decides on this report.
A decree in the Conseil d’Etat specifies the conditions under which the report is drawn up.
An agreement that is not approved nevertheless produces its effects. The consequences detrimental to the legal entity resulting from such an agreement may be charged, individually or jointly and severally as the case may be, to the director or the person performing the role of corporate officer.
The provisions of this article do not apply to ordinary agreements entered into on normal terms which, due to their purpose or financial implications, are not material for any of the parties.
