Le CA et la fusion-acquisition

Quel rôle doit jouer le CA lors des opérations de fusions et acquisitions (F&A) ainsi que dans la mise en œuvre d’un CA efficace résultant des deux entités ? C’est sur quoi se penche un article intitulé « Advice for Effective Board Mergers » de Johanne Bouchard et de Ken Smith (NACD Directorship, September/October 2014, p. 60).


Morceaux choisis :

The board may be least effective post-deal, at the very time when its oversight may be most important.

The proposed board  composition would ideally be part of the merger proposal put to shareholders for approval.

Many boards surprise themselves with what they didn’t know about each other… until they put these things on the table in the context of a big challenge such as an acquisition.

The organization structure and culture should be aligned with the overall strategy and facilitate the deal logic.
