與董事選任相關之股東提案權的機能及規制路徑──共性規則下個性問題的思考

The Functions and Regulatory Approaches of Shareholders’ Proposal Right Related to the Election of Directors–Thoughts on Individual Issues under Common Rules

公司控制權爭奪中濫用股東臨時提案權爭奪董事會席位的「亂象」在本次中國大陸公司法修訂過程中受到廣泛關注。最終通過的中國大陸公司法未將董事選任提案設置為臨時提案排除事項，原因在於董事選任提案在合理的董事選任程序中具有重要地位。中國大陸公司法對股東提案權內容的一般規制可以一定程度上保證董事選任提案的適當性，但無法對不同類型的董事選任提案作出全面回應，因此仍需結合公司法相關規定以及股東提案權制度的立法目的，從董事選任提案的審查主體、審查方式以及提交規則等方面作出細化和完善。

The “disorder” of abusing shareholders’ proposal right to contend for board seats in the battle for control has garnered extensive attention during the revision process of the Company Law of the Chinese mainland. The ultimately adopted Company Law of the Chinese mainland did not set director appointment proposals as excluded items of proposals. The reason lies in the significant position that director appointment proposals hold in a reasonable director appointment procedure. The general regulation of shareholders’ proposal right by the Company Law of the Chinese mainland can, to a certain extent, guarantee the propriety of director appointment proposals, but it fails to provide a comprehensive response to different types of director appointment proposals. Therefore, it is still necessary to make detailed and improvements in terms of the review subjects, review methods, and submission rules of director appointment proposals by combining the relevant provisions of the Company Law and the legislative purpose of the shareholders’ proposal right’s system.
