6. A representative who is issued an authorization to practice by the Autorité des marchés financiers for the first time is exempt from complying with the requirements set out in subdivision 1 with respect to this authorization to practise, for a period of one year from the date of issuance of the authorization. Once this period is over, he must accumulate, according to the apportionment in section 3, a number of PDUs equal to the proportion that the number of full months not elapsed during the reference period then in effect is to a reference period. In computing such proportion, the number of PDUs is rounded up to the nearest unit.
