The fiduciary obligation of the board of directors and any Special Committee it may appoint is to exercise the duty of care and the duty of loyalty that serves the best interests of the company and its stakeholders. The duty of care generally means a board must exercise good business judgment when making decisions, using appropriate available information.

Breach of these duties is regularly cited in lawsuits against directors.
