A legal entity may be appointed director. Uponits appointment, it must appoint, by hand-
delivered letter against a receipt or by registered mail with request for acknowledgement of
receipt addressed to the company, for the duration of its term, a permanent representative.
Although such permanent representative is not personally a director of the company, he is
subject to the same conditions and obligations and shall incur the same civil and criminal
liability as if he was a director in his own name, without prejudice to the joint liability of the
legal entity that he represents.
The permanent representative may or may not be a shareholder of the company.
