Partnership Interests: Transfer, Pledge and Dismemberment - SLP XVIII - #338-327*

Bild 31.jpg

Let us consider the question of transfer, dismemberment (démembrement), and pledge of partnership interests in a special limited partnership (SLP - société en commandite spéciale).

This question is governed by almost identical rules for limited and general partners (GPs) (i). The only exception is that the rules of general law (droit commun) are more restrictive for GPs' partnership interests (ii). We may also notice that there is still a great deal of room for contractual freedom.

I - Partnership Interests: Transfer, Pledge and Dismemberment (démembrement) - Similar Rules for GPs and Limited Partners (LPs)’ Partnership Interests

Whether they are partnership interests of LPs or GPs, they may only be transferred, dismembered or pledged in accordance with the terms & conditions and in the form provided for in the partnership agreement, failing which the operation shall be null and void.

If the partnership agreement is silent on the above, and except in the case of a transfer other than by reason of death, the dismemberment (démembrement) and pledging of an LP's partnership interests require the approval of the GP(s).

In the same case (as in the previous paragraph), but this time for the GP's partnership interest(s), additional steps are required. 

II - GP’s Partnership Interest(s): Transfer, Pledge and Dismemberment (démembrement) - Restrictions

As mentioned above, in the absence of provisions to the contrary in the SLP's partnership agreement, and for a transfer other than a transfer by reason of death, a dismemberment (démembrement) and pledging of GPs' partnership interests requires this time:

  1. the approval of all the partners; and

  2. that the latter decide in the same manner as when amending the partnership agreement.

What About the Partners' Decisions in the Absence of Statutory Provisions in an SLP? - SLP XVII - #337-326*

Bild 32.jpg

Earlier we mentioned the decisions that specifically have to be taken by the partners in a special limited partnership (SLP - société en commandite spéciale). The partnership agreement should therefore indicate which decisions are not taken by the partners. The form and conditions of these decisions should also be stated. 

However, if the partnership agreement of the SLP is silent:

1- the decisions of the partners are taken: 

  • in a general meeting; or 

  • through a written consultation;

the written consultation takes place as follows:

  • each partner has to receive the text of the resolutions or decisions to be taken expressly stated and shall cast his vote in writing;

2- the decisions are validly taken by a majority of the votes cast (regardless of the portion of interest shares represented);

however, for decisions regarding:

  • changes to the company's purpose;

  • the change of nationality of the company;

  • the conversion or liquidation of the company;

the latter are adopted only by the approval of:

  • the partners’ quorum representing 3/4 of the partnership interests; and

  • of all general partners;

3- such meetings or written consultations may be convened or initiated by:

  • the manager or managers; or by

  • partners representing more than half of the partnership interests.

Partners' Decisions & Partnership Agreement - SLP XVI - #336-325*

Bild 33.jpg

First, it is important to mention that, with regard to the proportion of voting rights and unless the partnership agreement provides otherwise, the voting rights of each partner are proportional to the partnership interest that each partner holds in the special limited partnership (SLP - société en commandite spéciale). Let us consider the decisions that must be taken by the partners (i) before mentioning certain elements that must be indicated in the partnership agreement (ii). 

I - Decisions to Be Taken By the Partners

The law expressly provides a series of decisions that must be taken by the partners. There are as follows:

  1. changes in the company's object;

  2. change of nationality of the company; or

  3. conversion; or 

  4. the liquidation of the company.

II - Decisions Not Taken By the Partners, Forms and Conditions of Adoption 

The partnership agreement shall determine which decisions the partners do not take. The partnership agreement shall also determine in what forms and under what conditions these decisions are to be taken. If there are no stipulations in the partnership agreement in this respect, the law will govern some of these elements, which we will discuss later.

The Partners' Share in the Profits and Losses - SLP XV - #335-324*

Bild 34.jpg

The special limited partnership (SLP - société en commandite spéciale - one of the Luxembourg partnerships) offers real flexibility to its partners, due to its contractual nature.

Thus, distributions and reimbursements to partners and the conditions under which the SLP may request their restitution are governed by the partnership agreement. 

Therefore, as the law provides, unless otherwise stipulated in the partnership agreement, the share of each partner in the profits and losses of the SLP is in proportion to his partnership interest.

The Possibility for a Limited Partner to Act in the Management of an SLP - SLP XIV - #334-323*

Bild 35.jpg

In our previous publications we stated that in a special limited partnership (SLP - société en commandite spéciale) one of the specific attributes of the limited partner (LP) is that he is prohibited from performing acts of management with respect to third parties.

If he were to disregard this prohibition, the LP would be held indefinitely, jointly and severally liable to third parties for all the company's commitments in which he had participated.

However, it will be possible for an LP: 

  1. to act as a member of a management body; or 

  2. to act as a proxy for a manager of the SLP (a manager who may also be general partner as well); or

  3. to be granted a corporate signature power by the latter even when acting as a representative of the company.

The LP will be able to act in this manner without incurring joint and several liability vis-à-vis third parties for the company's commitments, provided that the representative capacity in which he is acting is indicated, as required by law.

Liability of the Limited Partner and Management Act - SLP XII - #332-321*

Bild 39.jpg

We mentioned earlier that the limited partner (associé commanditaire) may not perform any act of management with respect to third parties in a special limited partnership (SLP - société en commandite spéciale). It is interesting to note that, as in the case of a common limited partnership (société en commandite simple), the general partner (associé commandité) is in principle jointly and severally liable for the commitments of the SLP.

If, however, a limited partner was to perform any act of management despite the prohibition set out in the foregoing principle, he would be held indefinitely, jointly and severally liable with the SLP, vis-à-vis third parties, for all the commitments of the company in which he had participated.

Finally, the limited partner will also be held jointly and severally liable with the SLP, indefinitely, vis-à-vis third parties and creditors, for commitments in which he has not participated, if he has habitually performed acts of management for the said commitments. We shall see how the concept of management act fits into the framework by addressing in particular what does not constitute a prohibited management act for the limited partner.

Two Specific Features of the Limited Partner - SLP XI - #331-320*

Bild 40.jpg

It should be noted that the provisions applicable to the special limited partnership (SLP - société en commandite spéciale) are identical to those applicable to the common limited partnership (société en commandite simple) in this respect. 

The question of the impact of the ranking as (possible) creditor (in the event that the limited partner (LP - associé commanditaire) enters into a transaction with the SLP) - vis-à-vis the SLP of which - he is a partner is interesting.

I - The Possibility of Entering Into Transactions With the SLP and the Impact of the LP's Creditor Rank

An LP may enter into any transaction with the SLP. Its ranking as a preferred creditor status or not (unsecured creditor) - depending on the terms of the transaction - will not be affected by its LP position. The fact that an LP is an LP of the SLP has no impact in this regard. There is no conflict of interest by that fact alone. There is, however, an important limitation to the position of LP when it comes to the management of the SLP.

II - Can a Limited Partner Perform Management Acts With Regard to Third Parties?

The law is clear: an LP may not perform any act of management with respect to third parties.

Powers of the Managers & Delegation - SLP IX - #329-318

Bild 42.jpg

The principle laid down by the law is that: each manager may carry out on behalf of the company all acts necessary or useful for the achievement of the company's purpose.

The partnership agreement of the Luxembourg special limited partnership (SLP, société en commandite spéciale) may restrict the powers of the managers. However, such restrictions are not binding on third parties, even if they are published. 

The articles of association may also mention that one or more managers are entitled to represent the company alone or jointly. And in this case, this clause is binding on third parties under the conditions provided for in Title I, Chapter Vbis of the amended law of 19th December, 2002 on the register of commerce and companies and the accounting and annual accounts of undertakings.

Finally, and still on a contractual basis (in the partnership agreement), the managers of an SLP may delegate their powers to one or more agents who are only responsible for the execution of their mandate.

Management of an SLP/SCSp - Introduction - SLP VII - #327-316*

Bild 44.jpg

As in the case of a Luxembourg common limited partnership (CLP, société en commandite simple), the management of a Luxembourg special limited partnership (SLP, société en commandite spéciale) belongs to one or more managers, whether general partners (associés commandités) or not. As in the case of a CLP, the managers of the SLP are appointed in accordance with the provisions of the partnership agreement. 

Managers who are not general partners are liable to the SLP, in accordance with general law provisions (droit commun), for the mandate they have received and for any faults committed under their management.

How may an SLP be declared void? - SLP VI - #326-315*

Bild 45.jpg

This question is interesting in order to determine what has to be included in the limited partnership agreement of a special limited partnership (SLP - or société en commandite spéciale, SCSp). Let’s see how we may avoid taking any risk in this respect.

An SLP may only be declared void:

  1. if the constitutive document does not contain any indication as to: 

    1. the denomination of the partnership; or

    2. its corporate purpose.

  2. if the corporate purpose is:

    1. unlawful; or

    2. contrary to public policy (ordre public);

  3. if the partnership does not include at a minimum - validly committed and distinct from each other ; 

    1. a general partner (associé commandité); and

    2. a limited partner (associé commanditaire).
