Bill No. 1039 on the use of a digital recording device on a shared registry<\/span><\/strong> (covering the main features of Blockchain technology)[1] <\/b>by public limited companies<\/span> (Soci\u00e9t\u00e9s anonymes<\/em>) and limited liability companies<\/span><\/strong> (<\/b>Soci\u00e9t\u00e9s \u00e0 responsabilit\u00e9 limit\u00e9e<\/em>) (11 articles) was filed with the National Council on May 27, 2021. It follows the National Council’s draft Law\u00a0No. 246, which was adopted in Public Session on December 4, 2019.<\/b>[2]<\/span><\/p>\n

Blockchain technology has already received legislative consecration, Law No. 1.491 of June 23, 2020 on <\/strong><\/em>Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) and Security Token Offerings (STO) <\/em><\/strong>governing fundraising carried out using this technology.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Bill No. 1039 is part of the legislative block dedicated to the digital transition of the Principality of Monaco as an extension of the Extended Monaco<\/a> program, but also as part of the work<\/span> to overhaul and modernize business law<\/span> (company law and corporate structure) currently being undertaken by the Government.[3]<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

>> Projected uses of the digital recording device on a shared registry (DENP):<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Public limited companies would have the possibility to keep the register of transfers<\/strong> in the digital form DENP under the conditions of article 43 of the Code of Commerce: registration of the issued registered securities<\/strong>; in case of transfer of shares, transcription of the transfer form<\/strong> and issue of a new registered certificate<\/strong>). The Government specifies that it “envisages, in the long term, the possible revision of the Franco-Monegasque treaty provisions on the specific subject of the obligation of material creation of “unlisted” securities in order to allow the dematerialization of the securities concerned”<\/em>.[4]<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0 Limited liability companies would have the option of recording in the DENP the distribution of shares<\/strong> fixed in the company’s articles of association in accordance with article 47 of the Commercial Code, the deed of transfer<\/strong> of shares carried out under the conditions of article 51-2 of the Commercial Code.<\/p>\n

\u2022 For both types of companies, the DENP could also be used to share information<\/strong> that they deem necessary<\/strong> or that they are required to deliver by virtue of a legal or regulatory provision<\/strong>, or a provision of the articles of association<\/strong>, under the conditions defined by ministerial decree (e.g., registration of decisions and deliberations of the administrative bodies or general meetings).<\/p>\n

\u2022 In addition, joint stock companies and limited liability companies could use smart contracts<\/strong> [5] to execute the agreements between them.<\/p>\n

The trust service provider would be in charge of the administration of the DENP under the conditions of Law no. 1.383 of August 2, 2011, for a Digital Principality, <\/em>amended.<\/em><\/p>\n
