企業併購中目標公司之董事責任

The Duties of the Directors in the Target Company in Takeovers and Mergers

現今我們幾乎每日都會看到有關於企業併購之報導，這也證明了現今商業社會中企業併購之盛行，企業併購時，因為公司組織變動相對鉅大，或組織重組，或經營權變更。股份有限公司中，董事會制定併購相關決策，董事會成員自應負擔適當之責任，除公司法中訂有董事處理公司事務之忠實及注意義務規範外，同時企業併購法是規範企業併購事項之專法，但是在該法當中有關於董事在企業併購程序中應遵行之義務並未有一個完備而明確之規定，所以對於公司會有極大影響之董事併購決策，若未沒有更週全之規範，實不利我國擬強化公司治理之目標，所以確有必要檢討我國法制並參酌外國法制，以作為董事做出相關併購決策之基準。本文將以目標公司董事責任為重心，並參酌德國之法制，分別針對目標公司董事所應負之一般董事責任以及企併法等相關法令所規範之責任加以探討，再對於合意併購時目標公司董事的利益衝突，以及目標公司對於發動併購之公司有無可能義務存在之討論。最後再對目標公司董事會有無董事會中立義務之存在，加以分析，並對我國之法制加以討論，期能建立一套能適合我國之國家需要之法制秩序。
