A provision that permits the Board of Directors to terminate a proposed merger if a better deal arises with another party.

Fiduciary Out
A provision in some merger agreements allowing the board of directors of one of the companies to terminate the deal before it is finalized if it receives a better offer from another company. A fiduciary out provision exists because boards of directors have a responsibility to always act in the best interests of shareholders. A better offer for shareholders is almost always thought to be in their best interests.
