Semsamar: Communities will always be in the majority, it's the law

0

“I left the board of directors [of Semsamar] no other choice than to dismiss me. I told her that as a Caribbean, I will not be complicit in the fact that CDC Habitat is accomplishing on our four territories by wanting to monopolize the totality of the management of our social housing ”, declared to our colleagues Marie-Paule Bélénus-Romana at the end of the board of directors which acted her dismissal.

In December 2017, the subsidiary of Caisse de depots (CDC) became a shareholder in six overseas real estate companies, the Sidom (Simar in Martinique, Siguy and Simko in Guyana, SIG in Guadeloupe, SIDR in Réunion). and SIM in Mayotte). Some fear it will do the same with the Semsamar. However, the situation is different. Semsamar is a local mixed economy company in which CDC has already been a shareholder - from the start - at around 13%.

The shareholding of a local mixed economy company is highly regulated in France. According to the law, the majority shareholder of a SEML is imperatively a community (or several communities). Since 2002, they can hold up to 85% of the share capital (compared to 80% before).

Today, the COM of Saint-Martin holds 51% of the capital, 70,54% with the Guadeloupe Region and the City of Basse-Terre.

Their participation may not exceed 85% of the share capital of Semsamar.

By law, communities will always be in the majority and CDC Habitat, for example, cannot be in the majority.
