Article R822-39 of the French Commercial code

The registered office of a firm of statutory auditors is located within the jurisdiction of the regional company with the largest number of shareholders or partners. If two or more regional companies have the same number of shareholders or partners, the registered office may be set at the choice of the shareholders or partners in one of those companies.

If the largest number of shareholders or members is attached to another regional company as a result of a change in the holding of share capital, the company has a period of one year in which to transfer its registered office.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R822-39
Le siège des sociétés de commissaires aux comptes est fixé dans le ressort de la compagnie régionale à laquelle est rattaché le plus grand nombre d’actionnaires ou d’associés. Si deux ou plusieurs compagnies régionales comptent le même nombre d’actionnaires ou associés, le siège peut être fixé au choix des actionnaires ou associés dans l’une de celles-ci.

Si le plus grand nombre d’actionnaires ou d’associés est rattaché à une autre compagnie régionale par suite d’une modification de la détention du capital social, la société dispose d’un délai d’un an pour transférer son siège social.
