Board Member Removal Proceedings

I think "impeachment" is mainly applied to politicians. Corporate board members are removed or dismissed:

1 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks a lot for your help. Having traced the context back more thoroughly, it turns out that the meaning of "Amtsaufhebung" here is "Aufhebung von Amtswegen" - more specifically: official (court) action to nullify or cancel an agreement or contract - in this case a merger agreement. You live and learn!"

This is the technical (legal) term for the process, but it is so esoteric that most people wouldn't know what it means.
"Removal from office" would be the generic term, which could be made more specific by "removal from office of director" (or "from the Board of Directors" as suggested above.).
