Currently reading: Renault to reduce Nissan stake following crunch talks

Proposed changes will give each company equal voting rights in the other, subject to board approval

The Renault Group will significantly reduce its stake in Nissan as part of a historic reshaping of the firms’ Alliance.

Key to the new terms of the Alliance is equity of control over the other firm: each will retain a 15% shareholding in the other, with voting rights capped in kind.

Renault, which holds a 43% stake in Nissan, will transfer 28.4% of those shares to a French trust with “neutralised'' voting rights on most decisions.
