<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The cross-border mobility of a Luxembourg special limited partnership (<em>société en commandite spéciale</em> &#8211; <strong>SCSp</strong>) offers significant strategic flexibility, yet the process is often misunderstood. Can its registered office be transferred abroad without triggering a dissolution?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our latest analysis breaks down the key mechanics:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A Luxembourg SCSp can complete a cross-border conversion under the General Regime, relocating its registered office without dissolution, provided the destination jurisdiction recognises the partnership’s continued existence as a contractual arrangement.</li>



<li>The critical condition is that the destination jurisdiction recognises the SCSp’s continued existence as a partnership or equivalent vehicle, allowing legal and operational continuity.</li>



<li>This mechanism preserves the fund&#8217;s contractual integrity and history, avoiding the complexities of liquidation and re-establishment.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The full analysis of the legal framework and practical steps is available in our podcast episode &#8220;SCSp Crossborder Mobility&#8221;. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can also subscribe to the BERTRAND MARIAUX AVOCATS YouTube channel for more insights.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SCSp et mobilité transfrontalière</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La mobilité transfrontalière d&#8217;une SCSp luxembourgeoise est un outil stratégique, mais ses mécanismes sont souvent perçus comme complexes. Un transfert de siège à l&#8217;étranger entraîne-t-il nécessairement une dissolution ?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Notre dernière analyse révèle plusieurs points clés :</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Une SCSp luxembourgeoise peut réaliser une conversion transfrontalière au titre du régime général, transférant son siège statutaire sans dissolution, sous réserve que l’État de destination reconnaisse la continuité du partenariat comme arrangement contractuel.</li>



<li>La condition clé est la reconnaissance, par l’État d’accueil, de la continuité de la SCSp en tant que partenariat ou véhicule équivalent, permettant sa continuité juridique et opérationnelle.</li>



<li>Ce processus protège l&#8217;intégrité contractuelle et l&#8217;historique du fonds, évitant les lourdeurs d&#8217;une liquidation.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">L&#8217;analyse complète est disponible dans l&#8217;épisode « SCSp et Mobilité Transfrontalière ». </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Recent changes to Luxembourg&#8217;s Register of Beneficial Owners (RBE) have redefined the framework for corporate transparency. The new rules replace open public access with a system based on qualified access and heightened regulatory scrutiny.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Key implications of this new framework include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Access is now a privilege, not a right. It is restricted to specific actors who must demonstrate a legitimate interest, fundamentally changing the due diligence process.</li>



<li>The regulator (LBR) has new enforcement powers, backed by a stringent and escalating penalty regime for non-compliance, making accurate and timely filings critical.</li>



<li>RBE management has evolved from a routine administrative task to a strategic governance imperative, impacting board-level oversight and service agreements.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For the complete analysis, the episode &#8220;Luxembourg RBE Reform: Restricted Access and Escalating Compliance Penalties&#8221; is available on: </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Réforme du RBE au Luxembourg : Accès Restreint et Sanctions Accrues</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Les récentes modifications du Registre des Bénéficiaires Effectifs (RBE) au Luxembourg ont redéfini le cadre de la transparence des sociétés. Les nouvelles règles remplacent l&#8217;accès public libre par un système d&#8217;accès qualifié et une surveillance réglementaire renforcée.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Les implications clés de ce nouveau cadre sont les suivantes :</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>L&#8217;accès est désormais un privilège, non un droit. Il est restreint à des acteurs spécifiques devant démontrer un intérêt légitime, ce qui modifie fondamentalement le processus de due diligence.</li>



<li>Le régulateur (LBR) dispose de nouveaux pouvoirs de sanction, soutenus par un régime de pénalités strict et progressif en cas de non-conformité, rendant la précision et la ponctualité des dépôts critiques.</li>



<li>La gestion du RBE est passée d&#8217;une tâche administrative de routine à un impératif de gouvernance stratégique, impactant la surveillance au niveau du conseil d&#8217;administration et les contrats de service.</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How can a company access deep public capital markets without relinquishing long-term strategic control? The answer often lies in sophisticated corporate engineering unique to jurisdictions like Luxembourg.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The latest episode of The Luxembourg Fundcast examines the powerful combination of a dual-class share structure with Fiduciary Depositary Receipts (FDRs). Here is a brief analysis of the core mechanics:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• The FDR as a Strategic Tool: Far from being just a technical instrument for trading, the FDR structure is a sophisticated governance mechanism. It allows a company to maintain a clean, tightly-controlled register of direct shareholders while offering the public economic ownership and indirect voting rights.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• A Governance Balancing Act: The use of dual-class shares, which grant differential rights, creates a natural tension with the principle of equal shareholder treatment. This requires a constant and delicate balance of meticulous legal compliance and transparent communication to mitigate governance risk.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• The Primacy of the Depositary Agreement: For public investors holding FDRs, the Depositary Agreement is the paramount legal document. Its clauses on dividend flows, voting mechanics, and liability define the rights and risks for the public market.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The full analysis of the &#8220;FDR &amp; Dual-Class Share Structure&#8221; is available on: </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fdr-dual-class-share-structure/id1811791497?i=1000729432121 </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0vnwp0FzELGSCcdn36o6UZ?si=fxyM6CssQtKqVCEuLDiT-w </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">YouTube: https://youtu.be/t6ncbyegulI</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8212; VERSION FRANÇAISE : &#8212;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Comment une société peut-elle accéder aux marchés de capitaux publics sans renoncer à son contrôle stratégique à long terme ? La réponse réside souvent dans une ingénierie juridique sophistiquée, propre à des juridictions comme le Luxembourg.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Le dernier épisode du Luxembourg Fundcast (Version Française) examine la puissante combinaison d&#8217;une structure d&#8217;actions à double classe et des Fiduciary Depositary Receipts (FDR). Voici une brève analyse des mécanismes clés :</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Le FDR comme outil stratégique : Loin d&#8217;être un simple instrument technique de négociation, la structure FDR est un mécanisme de gouvernance sophistiqué. Elle permet de maintenir un registre d&#8217;actionnaires directs simple et maîtrisé, tout en offrant au public la propriété économique et des droits de vote indirects.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Un exercice d&#8217;équilibre en gouvernance : L&#8217;utilisation d&#8217;actions à droits de vote multiples crée une tension naturelle avec le principe d&#8217;égalité de traitement des actionnaires. Cela exige un équilibre constant et délicat entre une conformité juridique méticuleuse et une communication transparente pour atténuer les risques de gouvernance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• La primauté du contrat de dépositaire : Pour les investisseurs publics détenant des FDR, le contrat de dépositaire est le document juridique fondamental. Ses clauses sur les flux de dividendes, les mécanismes de vote et la responsabilité définissent les droits et les risques pour le marché.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a Luxembourg S.A., poor board delegation isn&#8217;t just inefficient—it&#8217;s a direct path to personal liability for directors.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Key points to avoid governance failure:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• <strong>Define &#8220;Daily Management&#8221;:</strong> The legally undefined &#8220;gestion journalière&#8221; is a major risk. Document its scope and financial thresholds explicitly to prevent conflict.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• <strong>Inalienable Duties:</strong> A board delegates authority, not responsibility. Strategy, accounts approval, and ultimate supervision remain non-delegable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• <strong>Documentation is Defence:</strong> A formal Delegation of Authority (DoA) policy is your legal shield against claims of management fault (Art. 441-9, 1915 Law).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For a detailed analysis of the legal framework, listen to the new episode: &#8220;Board Delegation in a Luxembourg S.A.&#8221;: </p>

</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8212; VERSION FRANÇAISE CI-DESSOUS &#8212;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pour une S.A. luxembourgeoise, une délégation mal structurée par le conseil d&#8217;administration engage la responsabilité personnelle des administrateurs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Points clés pour éviter une crise de gouvernance :</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• <strong>Préciser la &#8220;gestion journalière&#8221; :</strong> Non définie par la loi, son périmètre et ses seuils financiers doivent être explicitement documentés pour éviter les conflits.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• <strong>Devoirs non délégables :</strong> Le C.A. délègue l&#8217;autorité, pas la responsabilité. La stratégie, l&#8217;approbation des comptes et la surveillance restent des missions inaliénables.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• <strong>La documentation est un bouclier :</strong> Une politique de délégation (DoA) formelle est votre protection juridique contre une action en responsabilité (art. 441-9, Loi de 1915).</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Luxembourg partnership limited by shares &#8211; <em>Société en Commandite par Actions</em> (SCA) &#8211; is a unique hybrid structure that combines the flexibility of partnerships with the corporate attributes of a public limited company &#8211; <em>Société Anonyme</em> (SA). This dual nature makes it an attractive choice for investors and fund managers seeking a balance between governance stability and operational efficiency.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SA Attributes in the SCA</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The SCA incorporates several key features of the SA, including:</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Freely Transferable Shares</strong>: Unlike the common limited partnership &#8211; <em>Société en Commandite Simple</em> (SCS), where partnership interests are not freely negotiable, SCA shares are fully transferable. This facilitates liquidity and broadens the investor base, making it particularly appealing for private equity and venture capital structures.</li>



<li><strong>Minimum Capital Requirement</strong>: The SCA, like the SA, requires a minimum share capital of €30,000. </li>



<li><strong>Corporate Governance Framework</strong>: The SCA benefits from a structured governance system including mandatory supervisory oversight by at least three commissaires (auditors). This adds a layer of accountability and transparency, crucial for institutional investors.</li>
</ol>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Choose an SCA?</h2>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Liability Segregation</strong> <strong>&amp; Partnership Attributes</strong>: The SCA offers a clear division between general partners (<em>unlimited liability</em>) and limited partners (liability limited to their contributions). This duality allows for active management by general partners while protecting passive investors.</li>



<li><strong>Investor Appeal</strong>: The corporate-like structure of the SCA, combined with its partnership flexibility, makes it ideal for large-scale investment funds or ventures requiring sophisticated governance. It provides a robust framework for raising capital while maintaining operational adaptability.</li>



<li><strong>Regulatory Alignment</strong>: SCAs are adaptable to Luxembourg’s financial regulatory environment, making them suitable vehicles for Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) under the AIFMD regime. They can also transition seamlessly into other regulated structures like SICARs or SIFs if required.</li>
</ol>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The SCA’s blend of SA attributes and partnership flexibility makes it a compelling choice for international investors and fund managers seeking an efficient yet sophisticated structure in Luxembourg.</p>
