什么是好离职者 / 坏离职者条款?

好离职者 / 坏离职者条款规定,在公司成立后,董事、合伙人或股东离开合伙企业、初创企业或有限责任公司时,其股份将如何处理。它将“好离职者”(因可接受的原因离开并获得公平价值)与“坏离职者”(在较不利的情形下离开,可能只获得名义价值)区分开来。

谁需要它,为什么?

  • 最适合:初创企业、合伙企业、有限公司及其董事或员工股东。

  • 缺少时的主要风险:离职的董事或合伙人可能保留股份并阻碍决策,或者带走他们并未赚得的额外收益。

  • 英国常见问题:如果未写入股东协议或公司章程,关于估值和权益的争议很常见。

实际运作方式

示例:
一位有限责任初创企业的董事辞职去加入竞争对手。作为“坏离职者”,他们必须按名义价值将股份卖回。如果他们是因裁员或健康欠佳而离开,则会被视为“好离职者”,并按公平市场价值获得补偿。

常见陷阱和法律细节

  • 该条款必须写入股东协议或公司章程,才能对任何合伙企业、初创企业或有限公司具有可执行性。

  • “好离职者”和“坏离职者”的定义必须清晰,且不能过于苛刻,否则可能受到质疑。

  • 估值方法应当客观且透明。

常见问题

1. 董事或合伙人可以就其离职者身份进行协商吗?
可以,但最好在公司成立时或任何争议出现前就约定好条款。

2. 在英国法律下,好离职者/坏离职者条款是自动适用的吗?
不,必须将其写入股东协议或公司章程。

3. 如果条款过于苛刻怎么办?
如果条款带有惩罚性或表述不清,可能会在法庭上受到挑战,或引发不公平损害主张。

4. 谁来决定某人是好离职者还是坏离职者?
条款应明确标准和程序——通常由董事会或其余股东决定,但这必须公平。

5. 回购价格可以被争议吗?
可以,如果估值方法不清楚或不客观,争议就很常见。

总结 / 行动步骤

  • 检查你的股东协议和公司章程中是否包含好离职者 / 坏离职者条款,尤其当你是初创企业、合伙企业或有限责任公司的董事、合伙人或股东时。

  • 如果没有,最好在任何退出或争议发生前协商纳入。

  • 以上模板可作为起点,但应根据公司的需求和结构进行调整。
